Reply:Problem SolvedDo the long handles give you enough leverage to lift enough to move.  Looks like they should.It's a real pain to weld the thin material that casters are mounted on.  Looks ok from here.You're really gettin' tooled up"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
Reply:i put those handles one inch below my hand. That way i istand up and walk and the pipe legs  are one inch off the ground.the thin plate , i just lay a bead on top of the angle and let the side wash over the plate. meltdown!
Reply:looks good. how do you like the grizzly?
Reply:griizly seems to cut nice and straight. was using a portaband which cut fine but not straight--am starting to fabricate thingsthat require decent fitup and got tired of grinding after the portaband gave me a wavy cut.biggest beef about the grizz and i think its true of all the small bandsaws- nice vise to put large things in but no way to cut small stuff have started to devise a table that will permit small objects to be clampoed  down and cut, will post fotos. in foto one on the base can be seen a 3 holed plate which i took off the back of the vise;in foto 3 you can just see the ms plate i made to duplicate  the factory plate. intent is to weld some pieces off the plate which will pass down and across--under the blade and support a piece of 1/4 plate  maybe 3" wide and 8" long parallel to the blade for a table. aint done yet.
