    Cool new "Fab" tool from Harbor Freight

    I saw that the other day. I think I might have to go pick one up at some point. I have a Milwaukee porta band saw, and the SWAG table for it to mount to, and it does well, but is completely vertical & stationary. I like the idea of this allowing it to function like a "real" bandsaw. I did...

    Hello From Western KY

    Just wanted to say Hi from Western KY, and thanks for having me. I'm just an old dude who likes messing around fabricating stuff, and found this group when researching bar stool racers. Thinking about building one... I use Bend Tech SE, have a JD2 tubing bender with 1 5/8", 1 1/2", 1 1/8"...
