A better mount for my portable bandsaw

- 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.

About Simple Little Life:
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.
Kudos to you for teaching your children REAL LIFE SKILLS they may not otherwise receive in our "modern" education system.
KUDOS TO YOU FOR TEACHING YOUR KIDS, IT REMINDS ME OF MY DAD WHEN HE TAUGHT ME USING TOOLS WHEN I WAS YOUNG.
Its great to see someone imparting not just education but life skills to kids... so many are totally clueless through no fault of their own.
Bravo that you home school and bravo that you teach your children a trade. God bless you and your family. I have been a tradesman my whole life and I love teaching my grandchildren.
boy is that ever true about shop class I'm old school and like to do everything I can myself to it seams people want someone to everything for them. keep up the teaching of the boys you grow closer and they will be rewarded down the line
I’m happy to hear about you teaching your kids shop skills. My grandfather taught me how to use lots of tools and it has always helped me.
So true. Good for the young ones to learn these basic shop skills and they can progress to whatever level of proficiency they are inclined. Very cool.
great mount and i like how quick it go's back to a hand held. glad your teaching your kids how to use tools. I learned a lot from my uncle. the memory's are priceless to me.
Great idea. Thanks for being a real dad to your kids. We home schooled ours as well and it has paid some big dividends.
Great job! Love hearing about getting the kids some life skills as well. Be fun to see some of the projects they are working on.
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.
It was awesome to hear after watching and learning from many many of your videos as an aspiring knife maker, the fact that you also homeschool your kids for the same reasons we do makes it even more enjoyable.
Good on you, Jeremy! We love homeschooling as well. Love the time flexibility to do shop stuff.
Great job!.....Hi five on teaching your kids how to use their hands and be creative.It is very sad that Art, Shop and music have been cut from so many schools. Keep up the good work
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.
Thank you very much!
I like this option, especially the lower hanger when I am in production mode I can now sit at the band saw sweet thanks for taking the time to share this with us.
Play Safe From Elliot Lake Ontario Canada.
the best days are when I get to watch your channel one of my favorite keep the great videos
Frickin brilliant! Nice work. Ill be making a mount like this over the weekend
Great job. I like how you cool your welds in the snow. I do the same when we have any. You make excellent use of your space in that shipping container
Really love your shop setup! Also think it's great to educate kids with practical skills. Too many young people leave school with academic knowledge but little ability to apply it to the world around them. Kudos!
Thank you 👍
I love that you have a lower mount for the kids to use the band saw. That's epic!
Excellent job!! I have been searching for a way to make a vertical stand and at the same time be able to remove it quickly and take to job sites. Your idea was perfect! Thanks for posting.
Right on! Thank you. Glad it helped 👍
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.
Very cool young man and great that you are taking responsibility for your kids future
wow have the same saw love to find time to make this was just going to grab the base on line thanks mate for ur time on this video
This is the best diy mount I've seen, its now on my project list right after i finish my welding cart..
Thank you 👍
Good input to UA-cam's discussion of portaband possibilities and special thanks for teaching kids to manipulate physical reality.
Super cool that you’re passing along your building skills to the kids!
I’ve always enjoyed your content and all your builds. I gained a whole new level of respect for you, in regards to your position on our children needing to learn to work with their hands .... Amen on that friend!!!
Great idea. It's heavy duty, simple & totally functional. I've put in on my summer project list.
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!
Great job I need to build one of these for my portaband but just need to sort out the tracking fault it has 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
What a great idea. I really need to weld up a mount with my everlast like you have there.
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!
Great idea getting the kids involved Jeremy. It'll serve them well to know how to work with tools for their whole life.
Great idea but more than the mount, just hearing your passion when you speak about your kids its amazing!! I don't homeschool but I try to teach my kids in my makeshift shop (aka garaga) too!
Thank you ... You have given me some great ideas for mounting my portable band saw in my shop .... Teach the children well and they will never starve
I made a similar gravity / friction mount for my porta-band last summer. I powered mine with a footswitch, which has been awesome. I wish I had room for a shipping container shop. Very cool setup.
was fairly impressed with the mount (I have the Harbear Frought version). But that you home school your kids, just WOW!
Great video as usual, great way to explain everything Sr. Happy Holly days for you and your family!!
I watched the entire video and the snow scene three times for good measure. I WILL be making this in the future. Excellent job!
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.
I was just looking for an idea on how to hold my porta band, but you are absolutely right about training the kids. 2 thumbs WAAAAY UP!
Thanks! 👍
Outstanding! And I commend you on the home schooling of the kids and teaching them the shop skills! One of my three daughters chose to follow me out to the shop to learn those things as well.
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!
this is a awesome idea i like the way its out of the way but still useful even when stored.
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.
It is awesome that you set something up for the kids. I agree, we do need to ensure that the kids have the knowledge.
Thank you. Yup, even if they never go that route as a career, being able to use tools and make stuff is a great skill for kids to learn.
This is one of the best solutions I've found for this or any portaband. Congrats!
Thank you!
Well done! The kids will be the wiser than their counterparts with knowledge of how to getter done! Cheers
Very nice ! Love your attitude towards bringing back 'Shop Class'! My fondest memories of high school. 😊
Nice! Nothing wrong with teaching kids how to safely use tools and then their minds can build.
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.
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.
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.
Really like what your doing here especially with teaching your children industrial arts which will turn into life skills!!!
This mount is far better than what I was thinking about building for myself. Your version will be great fun to make with my everlast welder.
Learning to work with your hands , builds confidence and self esteem!!!
That is awesome! Will keep this for future reference!
Glad I watched to the end. Your comments about teaching your kids skills and how to use their hands had me reaching for the like button right away!
I had a little buddy years ago that absolutely ADORED shop time with "uncle". Very cool porta-shop tool mount sir.
Great design for the band saw mount. The kids have a good teacher--more power to you.
Thats really awesome! Thanks for the video! Also, I love that your teaching your kids workshop skills, it is something I think more people would be interested in if only they were introduced!
great stand.
I built a table style one for mine.
I don't use it enough because its a pain to put on and off . I'm seriously considering redoing it like yours. you have the best of both worlds
Nice work on you're shop and you're kids. Teaching them life skills they can use and home schoolers are the best people on earth.
We home school too. And here I am looking for mount ideas for my porta-band. I like your option very much. Keep making great videos.
Same with my girl. Loves to be at it with me. Good stuff!
+Xyienced that's awesome!
Good job. Glad to hear you can train the kids in industrial arts.
Wow ,Just found your channel,Nice shop out of a storage container,all your tools and a wood burner ,Nice ,Great thing to teach kids how to work with their hands ,we don’t need anymore 30 year olds that can’t put air in their tires ,Good Job !!!
I like this solution the best for the portable bandsaw stand. Thank you for posting!
awesome idea, going to borrow this idea for sure!
Great video, always good to see how you adapt to make your work shop space work for you. 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.
Awesome design, I love how easy it is to install and remove. Can you do a video and how you made the removable platform also? Thanks!
Amen to shop class, everyone needs to have shop knowledge. Great video.
I have the same saw, so I'll be making the same mount. You're right about shop classes. From what I hear and see, I don't think most kids can could change the oil in their cars if their life depended on it. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
i think its great that you teach your kids how to work with tools, enjoyed your video
good Canadian boy with the Timmies cup in the background. Hope it's a DD.
Thanks for the video!
I really admire your commitment to your children's teaching of shop!! Your very correct, these days the " millennials" for the most part, don't know what it is to work w/ their hands or w/ Tools. Keep up the great work and please keep the videos coming!!! You've given me personally some great ideas and I'm grateful for that. Thanks 🍀⚒🍀
Excellent bracket, thanks for sharing.
great home teaching... i had a couple of shop classes back when but not today...
That's one good idea! Great video!
Great idea Jeremy! We too homeschool and use my shop as well as our property to teach. When the funds get available, I've been eyeing a Milwaukee too. I was thinking about a SWAG table but that there is a great alternative.
Nice job! Way to think outside the box!
Thank you so much!
Good job man. Great to see someone concerned with raising their kids to be a cut above. Love the quick release on the saw.
Nice project. I like the "stand' but really like the table.
Very well done, I’ll be building me one soon!
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.
Nice. Love that you made it child inclusive.
A+ great idea. I will use the concept with mine, thanks
Agreed about the hands on learning ......... Good Job Dad
Nice use of space.. and congrats on teaching the kidz… that’s our future
I was going to say that swag off road makes wonderful stands for your/mine bandsaws, but I really like your idea maybe a little bit more. Nice build and great choice for your kids!
Great idea. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep it up.
Thanks for the idea I will apply it in my workshop
Great videos from a great dad. We need more people raising their kids right. :-)
+Problematic Polar Bear thank you very much. I really appreciate that. Cheers!
Cheers! :-).
Well done! Nice,straightforward design. I love that you are teaching your kids mechanical skills and to use their hands.
well done, smart build and love the principe of teaching your kids, Respect
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. Our school system sux. Back many years ago, shop classes were my favorite classes and the stuff I learned along with having a dad who was a carpenter has been extremely useful my whole life.
Nice work, I will make one for my saw.
Thanks for sharing.
sic build man.. love that you're teaching the kids some useful skills too. now to go find the video of where you made the base plate for that saw.. i'll have to rig up something similar with my cheapo HF Bauer band saw.
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.
