Couple weekend projects

admin

I picked up a HF bandsaw recently.. put a new blade on it and it works pretty slick.. Didn't like the supports/stand under it so built a new one with some tubing I had laying around..  Safer when using, plus if one of the kids bumps into it it won't turn over.. The second is a table I put together last year for projects..  used receiver hitches and built platforms for my vise/grinder so I can remove when working on bigger things...  The table is 4x6 and is made out of 2x2x1/8 with a 3/8 top.  This site has been great for ideas and information!!  BTW, next thing I build/paint will be "blue" before anybody asks..   Attached Images

Reply:The red is shake and paint from HD.. Sunrise Red Rust-Oleum...  Bought the table jacks on ebay... they make the table very solid.. make sure you get ones to match your wheel height.. i cut and added a piece of 3/8 plate to balance them with the wheels..

Reply:Nice.  Your workshop looks really clean too.
Reply:Stuff looks good. The table jacks are cool. Kinda like what I have been looking for. Have a link to where you got them? I searched for all kinds of variations of jacks and stabilizers, but didn't find anything.

Reply:Yes, both pieces are very nice. Wish I had room for a weld table that large. Need to build a stand like that for my saw.mm135HTP Invertig 201 With water cooler9" Southbend LatheLots of hand tools.
Reply:I bought a HF saw at a yard sale.  I wanted a mobile saw to take with me on jobs out of the shop and I found that it does exactly what i want it to do but I got tired of having my ankles chewed up by the cheap sheet metal base.  I welded up a new base with real wheels and, when the saw wears out, i can buy another and mount it on the same base.
Reply:nice work, thats a good looking table.
