Adjusting/setting up a bandsaw
#13
Little story here, back in the early 70s I was also into tropical fish as well as doing minor machining with my 10" atlas flat bed.
I got into making my own aquaria and stands. the stand my 4x6 is on started life as an aquarium stand.
I had a few stands to make either for me or someone else, I can't remember, so I started cutting the 20' lengths of 1¼"X1¼"x3/16" angle iron by hand with a hack saw. After cutting the 4 legs I cut the 8 pcs to make the "trays" each piece had the bottom corners cut off at 45° this left a little gap in the corners which accommodated the radii of the inside corners of the uprights (legs). Before welding and while having a beer, I calculated how many inches of 3/16" steel I had cut. Just shy of 6 feet!
The other stands had to wait until I finished building my power hacksaw which served me well until it was replaced by the ubiquitous 4X6.
