    Welding rod oven?

    When I attended welding school each student had to fix up a galavanized trash can for our electrodes (rods). Re-inforced the bottom with a couple of cross braces, cut several small holes, then wired it up for 100 watt bulb under the bottom. Easily held 7-8 50lb containers for the various rod...

    Sliding compound mitre saw

    I have that same Craftsman 10" Sliding Saw. Fits my needs well as it is portable and I can take it to my job site. You need clearence behind the saw for the arm. Does a good job for me on 2 x 8's, and wider (up 11 3/4) boards. The 60 tooth blade makes pretty nice cuts for me, very little...
