Hand Tools Only Contest 2016

Hand Tools Only Contest 2016

432 Entries, 19 Prizes


If you’re like most people, you don’t own a CNC machine or even a full sized table saw. Well, you’re in luck! In the Hand Tools Only Contest, we want to see projects you’ve built using only handheld tools.

To be clear, that means tools you commonly hold in your hands to operate. For example: chisels, handheld power saws, handheld drills, and soldering irons. Tools that are not allowed: table saws, drill presses, sewing machines, and any kind of CNC machine (mills, 3D printers, etc.).

Wow us with your hand tool skills and you could win some fantastic prizes from Tools Today, including an X-Carve CNC machine, Forstner Pattern Sets, 11-piece starter bit sets, and more!  Also, Tools Today set up a promo for Instructables members!  You can save 10% off any purchase over $50.00 from ToolsToday.com with code TTINSTRUCTABLES10
