    What makes a bandsaw exclusive to wood or steel use?

    For very light duty use (talking thin sheet steel, aluminum, etc.) why couldn't I use a bandsaw, made for wood, on steel if I changed to a proper blade? I'm looking at a Ryobi from Home Depot for $45 used. Thanks

    Finally stareted to re-organize

    Now that we've been in the house for a while I can start working in the garage to make it how I like. I made this rack over the weekend and I think it turned out great. I'm debating if I should make some doors for it. I love peg board!

    I filed a BBB complaint against Sears today!

    Well, I had my fill with my local Sears today. Here's the scoop... I put an 8' stainless steel workbench top on layaway about 2 and half weeks ago. I went in to make a payment today (was actually going to pay it off in full) and noticed it was $25 cheaper. I went to the dipshit at the counter...

    I finally get a break!

    I think I got a good deal. I went in to Sears and saw this 7 pc. set set on sale. I ended up buying both the SAE and the metric set for la total of $9 and some change. :thumbup: edit... the link wasn't working but they're the Craftsman T-Handle hex with ball joint ends, regularly $29 each set.

    My Garage is getting smaller!!

    I'm about to embark on a garage re-rebuild. It's 11 x 20 and not used for parking any cars. I have 9 motorcycles in there right now but surprisingly I still some room to get around. I do get a handlebar jab in the back often but it's not too bad. This pic was taken tonight but my goal is to...

    Craftsmen Motorcycle Jack

    Hi, I'm really new here but I wanted to share my motorcycle jack story. I had my bike up on the lift (600+lbs) and when to torque the back axle nut when all of the sudden, "Crack!!!" The the bike made a big dipping motion towards me... scared the bejesus out of me. Turns out the "safety catch"...
