If you click on the link to the bandsaw, it actually is for metal. It's meant for light duty, it was cheaper than buying the porta-band and Swag table. Much cheaper. As far as the drill press, I planned to use the drill press and disc sander on the Mark V ShopSmith. Would that suffice?

Well, most everyone pushed me in the direction of the 2x72. After a recent visit to a local knife maker, I decided that that was the way to go. I priced some different builds, and had pages upon pages of notes... so I decided to make a spreadsheet. First and foremost, so that everyone...

Anthony, I was trying to avoid this part of it all, but I will delve into it. My stepfather is a Green Beret, and will soon retire from the medical field. I live on family owned land and he and my Mom will soon retire to there. I am in the process of designing and hand building my own home...

I am in the same boat as far as my business name. Luckily, over the past few days I have found that my best ideas have come when I am thing about something else completely. Ideas popup and I write them down. It seems as though time will tell.

I am looking to gather a few used items for my shop. I would like to purchase a used DIY or manufactured heat treat oven. Thanks!
