As a mesa resident, definitely following!

Just got a new lift since my last two were stolen at my old shop. Thought I would see what others have done with modifications and came across this thread (Havent read any of it yet) but subbing to it now. Current ideas (again, havent read into this thread yet but I am about to) 1- Adding a...

I have had bendtech-pro since 2013 and it has served us well. Use to go old school with the designs on the floor (always aimed for tight fit) and paper but when opening a fab shop, went with Bendtech to make things easier and faster. In those years, have had to deal with their support team as...

I personally would make one to work on an arm and use it to catch shavings on my saws or cutters. I may actually buy one of those now just for that.

If available, I would go to a class. Sadly, where I am, the classes are colleges and I didnt have the high funds to go to a college just to learn how to weld for hobby reasons. I ended up buying my first mig welder for $25 and learned on that. Was crappy but I quickly understood how they worked...

Nice setup. Ill be making a setup for my powermig 210mp here soon. Love that machine. Just hoping to see if an issue I am having with it is user error or machine related. Guessing the tank on the back is plummed to a T fitting which then goes to both welders?

I didnt have any issues with my last box except running out of space. I dont close or lock my box at all so unknown if it works still ahha. I like the new box however, I am a little disapointed with the drawer heights. Only a few are tall enough to fit sockets into which is a bit of an...

Yeah, I found an old looking craftsman one that I light and am considering getting and just making it a project to make it work for cutting metal. I dont plan on cheaping out on blades. The blade for my horizontal saw was about $60 and has lasted over two years so far cutting DOM tubing as well...

My two husky tool boxes. Had the smaller one for a few years and just got the larger one. Also ordering the Milwaukee 70 workbench to go on the end and replace my basic wood workbench as well so I can order more tools. Small tool box is full and larger one is a quarter way full. I would skip on...

Looks good. I like the chain idea. Ill have to copy that. I planned on the handle setup as my hoist doesnt have any. Was also going to weld most of it together as being used as often as it does, the bolts come loose often even with locktight. I especially plan on welding the plates that hold...

I will mostly be cutting straight. If any angles, they would be slight. I have a wood bandsaw now that uses 3/8" blades but too fast. I considered the portable band saws as well but the throat issue is why I am not going with that option. My issue will be finding them in the price range. I...

Hello all, Well, as usual, instead of lurking around, I have to post because I am having difficulty finding something that would be easy to someone else. I am wanting a vertical bandsaw. Bench or on stands, less than $500. I plan on using it to cut steel only. I usually cut 1/8th thick steel...

I built (but didnt finish) airbag cantilever system for my previous trailer so it could drop to the ground and then had the ramps slide out at the rear so I wouldnt have to carry them. If finished, it would have allowed for extremely low cars to roll onto the trailer as well as making it where...

So, didnt read all the pages here, just the first one. Curious, does she have to be in a sitting position or can she be more.... flat like standing? I ask because what if you made something that is kind of like an angled stand similar to cavas painting setup that she can strap into, and at the...

These look great. My first projects with my mig was stitch welding cars haha. They came out horrible but the people letting me didnt care, as long as it held xD
