• Scam Alert. Members are reminded to NOT send money to buy anything. Don't buy things remote and have it shipped - go get it yourself, pay in person, and take your equipment with you. Scammers have burned people on this forum. Urgency, secrecy, excuses, selling for friend, newish members, FUD, are RED FLAGS. A video conference call is not adequate assurance. Face to face interactions are required. Please report suspicions to the forum admins. Stay Safe - anyone can get scammed.
  • Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

Couple of small projects

Finally got around to making a stand for my Milwaukee portable bandsaw. Used ideas from several others on YT. Incorporated a clamp on table for quick conversion back to portable use. In use as a stationary tool I jig tie the switch and connect my foot pedal switch.

Also welded up a toe jack from my metal scraps. Uses a 4 ton jack, will lift anything I have. Need to make some machinery skates to go with the jack. 20221030_092227.jpg20221030_092044.jpg20221030_092504.jpg20221030_092325.jpg20221030_092020.jpg
 
Looks good Gerry. I need to make one of those portaband holders now that I have two. I have an older one that is a work horse, and was just given a newer style like yours. I can't decide which one to dedicate to vertical though. I'm leaning towards the older one as it's a bit heavier. Toe jack look great too. Very handy thing to have around.
