Franz Makes
Workshop builds, project documentation, and practical experiments from a small Austrian shop where hand tools, power tools, and a soldering iron all live on the same bench.

Woodworking
Detailed build logs of workshop furniture, cabinets, and jigs. Real measurements, honest mistakes, and the occasional useful trick.
-
Tools
Small shop calculators and references for planning cuts, templates, clearances, and hardware.
-
The Workshop
A tour of the space, the tools that earn their keep, and how everything is set up.
Current build
Router Table - in progress
A router table built around a Sauter HPL top, a Suhner motor, and Blum Movento drawer slides. The build covers cabinet construction, dust collection, drawer-based storage, wiring, and the setup details that matter after the first test cuts.
What is here
The videos show the work in motion. This site captures the details: dimensions, hardware part numbers, mistakes made, and what I would do differently next time. Everything here is meant to be useful in a real shop.
