Patent number: 11685075Abstract: The present disclosure provides an apparatus, method and kit to flatten wide boards with an apparatus. The apparatus comprises two sets of rails, one set spanning laterally and the second set spanning longitudinally. The second set of rails is operative to move along the first set of rails by use of short members attached to the second set that interface with the first set of rails. Then, a carriage is operative to sit on top of the second set of rails and move along them. This is done by the carriage arms engaged on the second set of rails.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2019Date of Patent: June 27, 2023Assignee: WOODPECKERS, LLCInventor: Benjamin T. Wollenburg

Patent number: 11642809Abstract: A track square and a method of use thereof. The track square is adjustable to change an angle at which a guide rail is engaged therewith. A user is able to make a cut with a track saw that is oriented at right angles to the edge of the wood but is also able to make cuts at angles of less than ninety degrees relative thereto. The guide rail is secured to a rotatable turntable on the track square by an engagement mechanism. The turntable is rotated to the desired angle utilizing an angle setting mechanism and is then locked at the selected angle by a locking mechanism. The engaged guide rail and track square are positioned on the piece of wood to be cut and the track saw is moved along the guide rail to cut the wood at the set angle.Type: GrantFiled: March 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 9, 2023Assignee: WOODPECKERS, LLCInventor: Benjamin T.

Patent number: 11465217Abstract: A drill guide that includes associated components and various methods of use herein. The drill guide includes a first guide column and a second guide column provided on a base plate. The drill guide also includes a chuck carrier adapted to operatively receive a drill chuck of a portable drill. The chuck carrier is operably engaged with the first guide column and the second guide column, and the chuck carrier is linearly moveable along the first guide column and the second guide column between a return position and a plunging position relative to the base plate. The drill guide also includes a tapered portion defined in the first guide column. The drill guide also includes a depth stopper that is operably engaged with the first guide column, wherein the tapered portion enables self-tightening of the depth stopper about the first guide column.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2021Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignee: Woodpeckers, LLCInventor: Benjamin T.
