Subject: Most cool tube holder
From: Russ Erb

See page 14 of the March 99 Experimenter (EAA magazine). It shows a very
clever device for holding tubes in place while welding. I think I'll
eventually have to make something like this.

Subject: Pictures of Homebuilt saw stand

I was able to use the Kodac CD system (a pain in the ....)to
upload pictures of a stand I made for my little bandsaw, that
several have asked about. The files are in the file sections of
the e-group.

This stand is nothing special in the design aspect except that
the legs at the motor end were extended (a little "shelf" was
the result) to more stabalize the saw when in the raised
position. I raised the saw to make it a bit better for my
back. I recommend this type of saw, this one was made by JET, I
use it all the time. I added a storage shelf at the bottom where
I keep extra blades, accessories, and other shop stuff.

In addition to the saw, shown is a small stool. It has been
handy for stepping on to work on my truck, reaching shelves,
etc. as well as to sit on while thinking. I made it very sturdy
and stable, not wanting to fall off a 5 gallon bucket (my stool
before this one). I've also made a 2 ft X 6 ft work table (not
shown) that my router is mounted to.

I've used small deck screws to attach shelves and table tops to
the steel framework. The points of the screws are protected
inside the steel tube so they won't snag anything. The screws
are easly removalbe for top replacement. I don't bother using
backer blocks when drilling, etc. using the table top as a
renewable surface.

Tim, please feel free to delete the saw files when you feel
appropriate.

Hi guys, I finally got around to move the steel posts that were the
aileron jigs. this time instead of jambing them up to the shop ceiling
,wedgeing them solid. instead I bought those temporary jack posts that
they put under houses with the screw on top. I cut the 2" steel jig
posts about 4" shorter and took the jack post screw with its washer like
nut and welded it to the top of the 2" post . this makes it really easy
to move them or adjust them for the next position ( wings) .this is just
and idea that worked for me, I hope it will work to help some of
you.
