Abstract: A method, includes securing a component of an anchor apparatus to a board of a form utilized to form a concrete support structure; coupling an anchor of the anchor apparatus relative to the component by engaging a threaded segment of the component with a cooperative threaded segment of the anchor; depositing concrete within the form to create the concrete support structure, the concrete support structure at least partially enclosing the anchor; removing at least a portion of the board of the form; and accessing the anchor through a cavity in the concrete structure formed by the component.

Abstract: This invention relates to fixtures which aid in the drilling of holes for dowels and pegs. In particular, this invention relates to fixtures which aid the user in accurately positioning and guiding a drill or other boring tool into a workpiece and is of special utility in those situations in which the position of matched hole locations in adjoining or adjacent workpieces are critical. A drilling fixture is proposed which incorporates a body member and at least one perpendicular leg member wherein the leg member has a longitudinal stepped slot formed in it to receive a drill guide.The drill guide is fully adjustable along the length of the longitudinal stepped slot and may be locked in the desired location with a locking nut. The drill guide is an externally threaded cylindrical element with a flanged base and a longitudinal bore for receiving a drill bit.

Abstract: Improved chucks are provided for securing a cutting element to a power driving unit. The improved chucks are easy to manufacture and do not require mechanical aptitude or great manual dexterity in order to securely connect the cutting element to the power driving unit. These chucks may be used in combination with various power drive units such as power drills, drill presses, routers, lathes and milling machines, rotary sanders and grinders and other rotating cutting elements.

Abstract: A portable table for use with a circular saw and other power tools is disclosed permitting the use of the power tool at selected angular orientations to the workpiece. The construction of the portable table permits the use of circular saw blades of different diameters at angular orientations extending from rip cuts to cross cuts. The table includes a novel locking mechanism to maintain a predetermined angular orientation of power tool and work. The work may be positioned against a removable or fixed fence provided on the portable table. A counterbalance mechanism assists in supporting the weight of the power tool and its guide. The portable table includes a provision to place the power tool guide in parallel relationship to the removable and/or fixed fences so as to facilitate storage of the table.
