    Which orbital sander would you buy?

    I have the Dewalt and a Rigid they work about the same I like the Dewalt better though. I think the Makita is gonna run you more dough. Whatever you do DON'T buy a Craftsman.

    My first fabrication: welding cart

    Never seen a bottle installed that way before. Looks like it would be awkward at least to take it in and out, but you said it works good. I like the pull handle option though seems pretty handy.
