• 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.

just a Backyard Butcher.
I bought a small mill a while back, so made this stand for it, three sheves inside, adjustable feet and swarf tray. It does collect some swarf, but most of it goes all around the shop.

There should be a member showcase for their machines.
Here is the one I built last year.
The tripod ‘arrangement’ stabilizes my KING mill and it is also lagged to the framing of the wall.
