Great idea for punches, pencils, etc....Will add to the "to do" list! A magnet glued in the bottom might be handy so it stays put. Mine damn sure won't look that good, but I'll try. :)

Sounds like fun! Just getting used to a new HTP Invertig 251, and this will be a great way to get in some practice time with it. 

Brad GoodmanAppreciate that info Brad, thanks!

Brad GoodmanGreat to hear that! Been giving the SideKick 10 a hard look. After we move down to the Lower 48 next summer( N Carolina ) and get settled, that'll be one of the first additions to the shop. Curious if you had it to do over again, would you still go with a water table, or would you choose downdraft instead?

Great episode! The tip at about the 11:00 mark is gold. And Eric's comment just after 16:00 was hilarious!

How are you liking the Shop Sabre table Brad?

Nice. I'd really like to try pulse MIG now that I have a machine that can do it. But the 90/10 gas is spendy here for a small time home shop. The local vendors only offer it as a rental of 300cf bottles, or purchase a 200 at $$$$$. In the mean time, just started using dual shield, and very happy with it so far.

Nice work! Those steel sawhorses look really handy.

Thanks Jody! So far liking the functionality of it( and the MM 255 as well ). Last piece of the puzzle is a dual bottle rack I scored on eBay. Coming via slow boat, but shipping was free, so I'm not going to bitch about that! 

Good talk guys. Some nuggets of info even for a small time "Home Shop Harry" like myself. Especially appreciated Aren's comments on shipping costs. A never ending battle for Alaskans. USPS Flat Rate is a life saver, when you can find vendors willing to use them.( or convince others to do so. ) If not on a time crunch one of the various freight forwarders are a great option. You can normally take advantage of "free shipping" offers to get your stuff as far as Seattle/Tacoma, and then pay the forwarder from there. Have saved thousands that way over the years.
