Re: Cool shop tools or homemade ideas to help around the shop
every time I put a sheet of steel on the table and only use a portion of it , I use a magic marker and put a number on it. I save it as " table layout # whatever " Next time I load that sheet , i just import the " table layout number " from the sheet . Saves alot of time . This way I immediately know where all the cutouts are .

Here are a few clamps I make that were posted here long time back, for my welding table. Portable band saw I cut the parts for it on my table, gave the plans to many. Cut all the custom shaped parts for this 2" X 72" belt grinder.

Configured a new cart for my Hypertherm 65, cut down a hand truck from HF. Easy roll when needed.
