Great idea. That thing looks awesome. When you break a bandsaw blade, I hear they make great hack saw blades. I dont recall how to punch the holes, but your frame would sure hold up to a heavy blade like that. A good hack saw is a must on any farm. Thanks for the idea.

This might be the crudest slide hammer you've ever seen, but it's incredibly handy for jobs where you would break a normal one. Works great for taking off the inside race of junked bearings and doubles as a pry bar when in use. I started with a broken U bolt that once held an IHC deeptiller spring and made the slide out of an old discer bushing which slides on some square tubing.
I LIKE IT !!!!! I may need to copy that, but with a chisel on the end for going the other way. Thanks. I'm not as good of aim as I used to be with a separate hammer on the chisel. And I have the bruises to prove it.:(

I made this cutting table and put it next to the welding table. It is the same height as the welding table so it basically can be used as one table. Replaceable slats and a sheet metal shoe guard to keep sparks out of my shoes.
The vise is removable from the welding table and there is a swivel arm on the far left of the cutting table, but you can only see a small bit of it. I did not do very good taking the pic.

Interesting idea. When I built my welding bench I put a vice on each side perfectly in line... now if I need to weld something long together I can clamp it in both vices and hold it straight while I work.
Good idea. I like that better than mine. The swivel arm is my idea of the same thing. I can clamp one end of things to it and position the other in the vise. But 2 vises would sure hold a lot better.

Doorknob I may have to borrow your idea on the cutting bench, I really like the removable slats, I hate cutting on nice concrete i always like to put down an old scrap of sheet metal to save slag marking the floor, but a cutting table like this with a bit of a tray for slag n moveable slats would be great
You wont regret it. With your skills, it will be a fine table and I hope you post pictures when you are able to build it.

I too dont like it when concrete start popping and big holes appear all over the floor from it. Only thing I wish I would have done when we poured a new slab in the bay next to the shop, was to put a perfect level set of beams in the floor to tack weld projects to making level and square so much easier. But,..........maybe next time.

Well thats a good idea. If your hands are oily or something you can still release the jack. I hate it when I cant turn something because my hands slip. That's why I end up not using my snapon ratchets very often and instead use my SK or Craftsman. At least with an extension on them I can grip the handle to rotate them.
