Ah, yes, the environmentally friendly green steel. The tree huggers will soon demand that we all use this type of steel. 🙂

Nice job Tom. I noticed you didn't grind the zinc off the SHS before welding. Stand by for lots of unsolicited health and safety advice from the youtubasphere. 🤣

Nah I welcome advice like that! I did grind the ends, just not where the diagonal brace connected. I set a fan up and open the door when I weld this stuff because it still has galv on the inside even after grinding Future thing to work on is fume extraction and grinding dust management

@TomMakeHere

funnily enough a fold down fence was an early concept, but I decided to keep it simple. I will probably add an extension (with screw jacks down to the ground enabling up to 2 m lengths for fabrication Ideally the bandsaw would be permanent with a long in and out feed. one day...

Thanks Craig The 'lard' was the Sutton cutting cutting paste. I've been trying it out for drilling and tapping. It's great because it just stays there and you can get multiple holes with each dip

I use vaseline, has the same benefits of staying put and trapping the mess. Like lard it also has a really low melting point so it is good for sucking heat out of the cut. Plus, it is clean, non toxic on skin, and wont stain clothes etc.
