    Keep your eye out for bonded rubber isolation mounts in the surplus section at PA, they’re the cat’s meow. My 60 gal vertical used to roam around until I put it on isolators. Funny, my S.O. is like that too, I wonder why? :D I like the shop light trick but my compressor supplies both the...

    4x6 horizontal bandsaw $50 Sooke

    Seriously! You guys out west suck! Lol! (Where’s that cartoon?) Closest thing I’ve seen to this around here was about the same machine, very rusty with the power cable hanging out of the motor and on a makeshift home made spindly tripod for the princely price of $200. Oh, and only a couple...

    For Us Old Guys
