Having a porta-band has made life a bunch easier. As you notice in the picture below, it is not an expensive brand tool. This is as cheap as they come. This porta-band is a Harbor Freight buy that has been priceless for me. Being able to cut metal with no sparks and somewhat an increase in accuracy, makes the fit-up better. I have only been clamping the material to a bench and holding the saw in my hands, until now. Recently, there have been a few posts on Instagram of people’s shops, and I noticed the saw hanging on the wall. Genius. With the hooks already hanging around the shop (heh) holes were drilled in a post and the hung the saw. At first I thought is was rather loose, but when using it, the saw is secure and *should* not fall. This setup will help with the desk project and other projects in the future.
