Quickie little project made out of stuff I had stacked under my workbench.
I had an extra Harbor freight portable band saw on top of the bench.
This thing turned out to be incredibly handy.

Nice!

How about hinging it, adding a vise, and giving yourself a horizontal cutoff saw as well!

That's what I did so it can be used as a normal bandsaw and you can hinge it up and lock it in the vertical position 
mfletch, Try to do the best you can and that's good enough
