    Help locating a post or picture of a Welding table has a chop saw mounted flush in it

    I don't have a picture but it's real easy to make one. All you have to do is measure from cutting surface down to top of table for your offset, then put a shelf at that distance down for your saw to set in.

    How would you cover these exposed beams?

    Really all you need to do is cut a top and bottom even with the sistered beams and seal and finish to match other trim in the room and you're done. looks like you just used clear urethane on the doors and cabinets below.

    Port-a-band question

    my dewalt is a variable speed that slows way down when you turn it down but run pretty quick when turned up. My swagg table is a little disappointing to me but I may be trying to cut to big of stuff with it. All I seem to do is break blades, but in all honesty they are pretty old.

    Remove ugly garage door motor and rails

    If I wanted an entrance to a party room and didn't want to look at the hardware of the garage door and opener, I would rip it all out and Install a double wide french door for access to the party room. Even if you don't have to use it for access It would look tons better than a garage door

    New way to build boxes or drawers.

    While I'm not a cabinet worker or high-end wood worker that looks pretty slick to me. I might even be able to make a drawer with that blade. I really like how he made two boxes at the same time and just cut them apart. Fascinating
