What is your most used manually operated Practical Home shop built tool/tools

There have been a lot of useful ideas of home shop built tools and equipment on the site and I would like to see other ideas of other manually operated

So if you have any home shop built tool/s that you use often? No matter how crude or rough in design it may be or how common.

If so and you would be willing to share you design and photos of your tool you built plans, dimensions, materials tooling to build etc.

Anything manual operated from yard tools to shop tools and specialty tool that served you well in the application you designed it for.

Any devices for holding things at odd angels like weed eaters and chain saws for repair to screw jack type lift’s and Jig’s for line fabrication of any item or product.

Thanks'

Workbench

The home shop does not have as much room as I have tools and stuff --
so a work bench with good storage, ability to serve multiple uses, be on
wheels (to move it out of the way) is really necessary. Without it, I'd
have too much space devoted to storing things and not enough to
actually do anything.

I may have posted it before, but I still use these day in and day out. It's a copy of woodworkers hold down clamp. I just put it over a workpiece on my welding table, smack the tool once or twice with my brass hammer and the piece is usually secure enough to weld or grind on. I don't use them daily, just every time I'm using my welding table.

I got a 4 foot 1\2" extension bar for when I took out my tranny. I got a dodge ram. I also made a little pully for the differential nut or bearing... it's been awhile.

I'll get some pics up as soon as I can.

Great idea might have to make one or two for my welding table less adjusting of the C-clamps for quick securing of a work piece not a bad idea at all

Keep them ideas coming!
