  • Official Simple Little Life Video of: A better mount for my portable bandsaw. I love my deep cut Milwaukee portable band saw. But I use it mostly as an upright metal cutting bandsaw. Getting sick of clamping it in and out of my bench vise, I figure there has to be way to hold it firm for cutting in the mounted fashion but still VERY easily removable. It's a little poe-dunk; but it works.

    This channel has sort of turned (inadvertently) into a knife making channel. But the original idea behind what we wanted it to be is this description below:
    Videos on our journey to homesteading. With a recent purchase of a little piece of the Alberta prairie, we're looking to sell our nice suburban home in search of a more meaningful life beyond chasing the "American dream" working for some big company and making someone else rich. It's not about the money, it's about getting the most value from the work I do to improving the life of my family.
    Some preparedness, DIY, building quality things with your hands, guns, gear, and outdoor exploration.

    You're absolutely right about the loss of shop classes in school. My my fascination with tools started long before shop class but it taught me a lot. I'd love to see what you were using to mill your pieces too. A small milling machine is on my bucket list. Thanks for the cool video.

  • @pemtax557
    @pemtax557 5 років тому +2

    Very clever ... I also couldn't agree with you more about shop classes for your children. I know when I grew up back in the 60's that shop gave me a love and respect for what it takes to make something both with my head and hands. Good for you and your wife giving them the tools they will need to truly be successful and self sustaining.

    I've always held you and your work in high regard Jeremy and now that I know you are passing on your skills to your kids, that respect has increased ten fold. Here in Australia, our country started going down hill once the government stopped supporting local industry in favour of imports. We don't make anything here any more. Hands on skills will always serve your kids well later in life. Even if they don't use them to make a living, they will know enough to respect the effort of others. Big fan man.

    I took metal shop in high school. I'm now in my mid-50s with a computer job, but I can still go out to the garage and cut/bend/weld a lot of useful stuff. Shop class was one of the few educational experiences in high school that have followed me all my life. Great job passing those skills on to your kids!

    @canoecarver1994 4 роки тому

    I couldn’t agree with you more on teaching children to appropriately and safely use tools! So many adults now have never had the chance to use their hands to make something, but it’s great to see a renaissance of sorts with people want to reconnect with “making”. We homeschool and I’m a woodcarver, so my children have learned about carving and how to safely use those tools. Keep up the great work!

  • @willholt720

    Old video but I still enjoyed it and got some great ideas for my own holder build. Love that you teach your kids about shop. I loved shop class in high school. I'm retired now but that class gave me a great head start in the life I chose to live. Taught us how to use oxy/acc torch, arc weld, small engine repair, electrical wiring, plumbing, carpentry. Even now, hardly a day goes by that I don't use some of the knowledge gained from one of those skills.

  • @MrClickbang357

  • @rhinomite5203
    @rhinomite5203 6 років тому

    Love the container shop. Have watched before and remembered after watching this one. The container shop is a great idea. I have two with 8ft of space in between, covered for the TLB to stay dry and out of the sun. Also make great storage and shop space. One idea for you, a quieter compressor. They are making much less noisy everything now and when I'm working I always try to replace when I can with quiet machines, especially in a confined space. Save the eyes, ears, and lungs when you can. Good projects!

  • @romeoneverdies
    @romeoneverdies 7 років тому

    this is a awesome idea i like the way its out of the way but still useful even when stored.

  •  5 років тому

    I really like that you teach your kids skills they'll be able to use throughout their lives. So many people don't have ANY idea how to use their hands to make things now days. Other than trouble that is. Nice job on that bracket.

  • @dennisranck1613

    Much respect. Most people today think can't fix a flat tire much less do anything else. You will be putting your kids in a great position in life by teaching them how to work with their hands. This gives them problem solving skills that are almost lost in kids today.

  • @nvlvdave
    @nvlvdave 7 років тому +1

    Great idea and fabrication. I think it's awesome that you're teaching your kids how to work with their hands - something that's mostly lost in our society today. Most kids today only seem to use their hands to text or play video games.

  • @SharpWorks
    @SharpWorks 7 років тому +1

    That's great you're teaching your kids this stuff! Like you said it is such a shame that shop class isn't getting taught too often. I go to college for engineering and we have a decent size workshop, but they cut the classes that actually taught us how to use the machines. It's a waste, but I try to go in there myself and learn when I can on my free time.

I think I saw something similar a while back while looking for a similar solution and I can't remember who posted be video but they used bike hooks into two 2x4's they happen to have at the right distance. Just something to think about for the rest of us just getting into metal working and not as well practiced.

    I have been in the trades for a few years, 2 of my favorite injuries I have seen involve gloves. The wrap the hand around the drill press (big clausing beast at that) and shove the hand into the bench grinder. Honorable mention for shove the hand into the vertical band saw and dig the 4 1/2 grinding wheel out of belly ( I did not watch this one but I was there like 5 minutes later). I let my kids weld but I do the tools that will put them in the er.

    Great idea for the mount. Also good for you home schooling and doing a shop class. Kids nowadays can't do anything when it comes to woodworking or metal working or mechanical in nature.

    I have to agree the shop classes were an important part of helping kids decide if the trades or college was their preferred path. It also lit the creativity ug in some kids. Truly a lost coursework in high school. Your kids are very fortunate to have a good mix of technology & trades experience exposure.
