Yeah, it works really well. Means you have it always to hand. Cant remember where i saw it, but for something that can be made with scraps of wood lying around the shed, it is gold.
Also picked up this little guy on clearance from the green shed. All of $100.

Its not the best bandsaw in the world, but it will get the job done for smaller things that i regularly cut out.
Finished building the new control box for the brewery, and just had to give it a work out:

Works a treat. Just need two more cable grommets to add the pump control to the lit rocker switch on the front panel, and some labels for the switches.
Spent most of the afternoon sorting out some of the crates in the garage, getting there slowly.
Not much happening on my end of the world recently, primarily because of this:

Broke my big toe a couple of weeks ago, which has slowed me down noticeably.
Nevertheless, i did manage to get some shed time last weekend, and part of that was getting the bandsaw stand at least partly built:

Still needs a drawer built into it for saw blades etc, and a rebate milled in the top for positively locating the bandsaw but its pretty functional for now.
Started building myself a new dust collection system too, which called for cutting circles in wood. Built this with the 3d printer for one of my routers. Just uses 8mm threaded rod for adjustment, and a 608 bearing for location

Works very well.
Hope to get to build my table soon…
Spent half the day hobbling around the garage cleaning up and getting some stuff sorted out. More on that at the end of the weekend.
But importantly picked up this on Friday:

Decent quality welding table from the green shed.
