    CAD Forum intro

    I’m an old school AutoCAD guy and I bought QCAD after i tried their free version for a while. It‘s a short learning curve from AutoCAD and I think we’ll worth the $60

    Product What's your favourite angle grinder?

    I have a 30’sh year old Craftsman that still works. 3 Skill brand (cutting disk, Flapper disk, and sanding disk) that are 4/5 years old, work awesome and cheap enough that you can buy one for each disk type. I also have a cordless ryobi brushless that works great.

    Tool Look what followed me home…..a stake plate

    They are for working sheet metal. The plate forms the top of a bench and the stakes engage in the the holes in the plate. Sheet metal is then formed over the stakes much like a blacksmith uses an anvil.

    Tool Look what followed me home…..a stake plate

    I probably didn’t need this but I thought I might integrate it with my the pipe anvil I’m building. It’s a 4’ stake plate (no name that I can see). With a few stakes and blocks of steel to go with. Still need to clean them up and figure out how and where to mount the plate.

    Tool Pipe Anvil

    I just assumed i’d weld it but having a rack of different pipes to bolt on is a good idea. I actually have no current plans right now but always seem to be needing this that or the other thing bent. I’m working on another fire pit that i could have used it for a few weeks ago, I ended up...

    Tool Pipe Anvil

    Hello All, I have been thinking of building a Pipe Anvil. There are a few Youtube video, but I was wondering if anyone on here built one? What size did you build? Any tips or tricks?
