Spent a bit of time in the shed the last couple of weeks knocking up a little toy I've been wanting to make for quite a while now. A tube notcher for cutting birdsmouths in tube ends.

Best part about it is it's all bits of scrap I've had laying around for ages and only cost me for the paint and a SDS socket driver to run it with my low speed /high torque SDS drill. Total cost £8.

Nicely made. Much more fun making equipment than just buying. Much cheaper as well.
