http://www.harborfreight.com/9-in-bench-top-band-saw-60500.html This. A table top bandsaw. I'm hoping I can get a metal cutting blade. I'm not expecting it to cut large pieces, just making small brackets.

I have a freebie 9" table top Central Machinery table saw. It is missing the drive belt. I have two questions. Where do I find the drive belt? Can I get a metal blade for it.

I do not post very often, however I'm too proud of this to not show off. My Jimmy does not have a receiver hitch and we needed to transport bikes. All scrap metal, and an old hitch ball.

Contribution to night shots.

These arent the "good" ones. We are about to have a baby and my old magazine room is his room now. I have tried to give them away and what I have left over I cant find a new home for. So short of a big magazine fire, I'll put them away.

This will also keep my wife out of the shop, I think I will have to do this. I'm pretty sure a mouse can and will find it's way in. I'm trying to slow them down. I have only seen evidence of one mouse, but I'm in a rural area with a field behind the shop. I figure I give them a place to stay...

I'm trying to do this on the cheap. I have the OSB from putting a ceiling up. I do have some thin sheetmetal panels I can line it with.

Thanks for suggestions. I'll try the moth balls, and traps. No cats in the shop, the last one used my welding jacket as it's litter box.

I'm moving my magazine collection out to my shop. I will be building a cabinet to house my very large collection. Is there anyway I can mouse proof it. Or slow down their entrance. The cabinet will be built from OSB, and and have doors on the front. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Just wanted to share my favorite pic.

I got some metal shelf backing for free from work. It is 7 ft by 3 ft. I plan on adding a welding screen hung from the ceiling to keep sparks out of the rest of the shop.

I have not posted for a while, but here is my house. I worked in the yard all weekend and not in the shop. The house 990 sq. ft. and the shop is 960 sq. ft. I thinkI need to add to the shop because I'm running out of room.

My wife's aunt gave all the men in the family an Auto Tape, motorized tape measure. It was useful in turning ten grown men into ten 8 year olds. Other than that I havent used it.

UPDATE I haven't got much work done. Yesterday I had to go get my dad's sawzall so no work got done yesterday. I got all the steel I needed cut out. It took about 45 minutes with the saw and a 41/2" grinder w/cutoff wheel. I plan on putting a shelf half way up the legs and the welders will go...
