I'm sure there's dozens, or maybe hundreds I've never seen as well. Not many have the mind set you seem to, or can figure out simple logical solutions to shop problems. I never would have thought of that method, yet it's obvious after seeing it.

I'm not about to write a book but there is something almost as good.  I use the homemadetools forum as a collection area for my tools and ideas for a number of reasons...

friendly, helpful, intelligent owner/operator
pictures hosted on site so no chance of a Photoshop extortion scheme
handy way to document all the things my heirs will find in my toolboxes when I'm gone
and they provide monetary prizes for good ideas

Every time I submit a tool or idea, it gets added automatically to my user pages.  You can see the summary page here...

https://www.homemadetools.net/builder/mklotz

There are 20 pages with 12 submissions per page so 240 in total.  Click on any of interest and you can navigate to the actual submission to read what I wrote about it and view pictures I submitted.

AdeV:
Whilst you procrastinate about building Marv's rather nifty catcher - a piece of cardboard with a fold down the middle, balanced under the chuck as you part off, will catch almost anything... except the really really small stuff (which is where Marv's tool comes into its own)

Or, for the larger partoffs, add a swarf tray to the carriage as I did here...

Overbuilt and Overkill:
Thanks for the link Marv, I'll definitely be checking that out.
