I needed to clean off my generator I purchased and I wanted to sit it on the Oil Catch Pan I use to collect my used oil for recycling. Only problem is that the generator weighs a ton compared to the oil pan which is made of plastic. So I made a brace over the oil plan to allow things to be set right on top of the pan and drip right into it. Did some quick welding and used the band saw to cut out some steel 🙂

I recently purchased this generator off of some guy who had it sat for 1yr. He said all it needed was gas. I brought it home, cleaned it a bit, did some research and found out that it’s discontinued (like most things anyhow). I can’t complain for 50USD. It starts up fine and does produce AC. I need to work on the engine a little and build a mounting frame and put some wheels on it later on.

I recently purchased a metal band saw for 45dollars. It’s made in 1985- that’s 25years old! Way older than all my boogers might I add! The bearings were going bad on it (after 25years) and so i replaced them with little fuss.
When I did purchased the saw, I found out that the saw blade was installed backwards hence it was cutting with a backstroke which dulled the blade real quick! The owner gave me a rusted up blade and said it was no good- I put it on anyways and it cuts like butter! Now I need to bring this to a machine shop to grind the blade adjuster so it will cut true. For 45 dollars, I’m not fussing…
