I must admit to being a pinch of Grinch with a dash of Scrooge when it comes to holiday gifts.

There’s no better gift to give a friend, loved one, or neighbor than something creative, homemade, or thoughtful. To help celebrate the holidays, I’ve put together some frugal holiday finds for everyone on your list.
Free Workshop Tools Plans
In this section of our website you can find free plans for the workshop hand tools and machines that you can make by yourself. We tried to offer you the plans for tools that are simple enough so you could make it by yourself without big investments, and at the same time, these tools will be a great help when working in the workshop. Anyone who has tried to make or repair something, quickly realized that it is practically impossible to do that work without the appropriate, quality tools. Tools are here to make our work easier and allow us to do our work quicker and better. Without the proper tool or machine, and without the knowledge on how they operate, do not even try to do any kind of work, because you will either get injured or spend much more time in doing some work, and what the worst thing is that you will probably do it wrong.
