SELF INTRODUCTION: Hi Dan, thanks for your time and energy spent on this new board. I hope you will give me a waiver on the email account, I have used gmail so long I don't have a clue what my service provider account is.
I just returned home from a 2 week trip in New Mexico, have a few good pix, can't wait to share my off-highway traveling. Got to put 1400 miles on the scoot.

I've been collecting pix of fixtures on welding benches, could post some of those.
The fixtures are pretty inovative, and make it a lot easier to clamp parts and tools in place,
or hold items in position.

Not exactly a contribution to build a product for sale, altho some of them might be
candidates for people wanting to outfit their shop better.

if i'm understanding it right, it sounds like a heck of a good idea. i've had it with cheap Chinese crap too. let's firm the idea up and i'll set up an area for it.

SELF INTRODUCTION: My name is Earache and I live in Indy.
I ride BMW's and Ducatis mostly, but have severall 1970's Jap in line fours that I want to chop into something useful. They were bikes of my youth, just not too cool to ride any more.
Hopefully, that can be fixed with a little choppin', weldin' and fabbin'.
Like to check in here and the otehr site to get odeas, tips and tricks.
Hope I can contribute something soon.

Can ya start a thread on that topic and start posting the pics?
I'd love to see what others have done and get tired of searching all day for stuff like that.

Curt....I can spin a full size Harley frame on that setup and my rolling stool legs straddle the outrigger fine , even with the t-section on the end..... can fit, weld , clean, prep, prime, and paint, with out removing it .....I made the mounting points in the exact shape of my motors mounting flanges so that I can clean them to bright shiny metal and paint and the area where the mill sits is clean and I get a good ground....i all so use those neat ss grd straps, that they use in mil-spec equipment.
