Making the right tool for the job can make life much easier, but what if there isn't a perfect fit? You might get away with using an inferior tool, yet the real solution lies in creating your own. It may seem unusual to craft your own tools, but sometimes it makes more sense than reworking your entire project just to avoid making your own tools. I've chosen a custom wrench as my DIY project, which fills the need for multiple-sized openings in one tool, along with some extra features like a ruler, bottle opener, and thickness gauge. Designing and making your own tools follows a familiar problem-solving pattern: observe, measure, design, iterate. The goal is to guide you through the process of approaching tool-making (or any fabrication challenge) by walking through it step-by-step.
