no welder?

johnrob281:

Good catch….it’s there but out of the screen. With as few sq ft as I have, some things just have to be out of sight or I’ll just trip over them :-)

Probably 6061? I’ve got plenty just laying around…. Easier to cut too… I know about working in confined places, and organization IS key. Workin on buying my first house… Can’t wait to have a garage! Basement machining ***** when you are 6′ 2″ and the ceiling is 5′ 6″!

Thanks for your kind words. Feel free to steal the idea. BTW the angle stock is aluminum, not iron. —John—

Great idea on putting the quick change holders over angle stock. I’m stealing this Idea! Great video!
