Welding Tips and Tricks

I always wanted to have a rockwell blade runner in my shop but the price here in the Philippines is way to high and it's out of my budget..I have a bosch jigsaw so all I have to do is fabricate a table for it..

I'll be using a 3mm stainless steel sheet for the table top..







Fabricating a dedicated shoe for my jigsaw..

1x1 square tube for the frame..

The blade can be adjusted to 45 degree angle for miter cut..

I made a guide also for straight accurate cut..

The fence is from 2x2 angle iron and the knob is for tightening the fence so it won't budge when making straight cut..



Fixtures for blade guide..





Been too lazy to find a bearing for the blade guide,I used a motorcycle piston pin instead..

The blade guide is fully adjustable..

Here it is..



I made some adjustment,the fence is touching the guide I have to cut a little portion of the fence..





Now it's cleared..

Some test cuts in 3/4 thick MDF board..

In thin sheet..

I really like that! Shows thought and engineering. Color really helps it stand out. Good job!!

I agree really nice. Just as long as my dad doesn't see it. Him and my mom do wood working which is where I started and then I found welding. I know he would have me making something like this for him if he saw it. Very nice.

Great idea and a great looking project.

wonderful job man! who needs to buy tools when we can make them! hope you wear the sht out of such wonderful saw! cheers. pete
now you have to show some project made with the saw!

To all..i really appreciated your wonderfull comments..cheers

Very nice work!

I'm Filipino-Irish (yeah interesting mix; my mother is from Angeles City which is located on the Island of Luzon). And, I can attest Filipinos are inventive people. I too believe that is where I get my want to tinker and build things.
