Brandon, you're my new hero! I just started getting into welding, and your channel has helped me exponentially! I just bought a harbor freight portable band saw, and was contemplating doing a build like this to assist me in my own "pile" trailer build. Thank you for all the tips and tricks!
I have been following you about 6 months now and like that I pick up tips I use at my job. I'm looking to build a garage soon and this welder would be a perfect tool to put in it. Thanks
I know this is an older video and outside it's a crappy day, so I'm cruising You Tube for ideas. I had just watched a guy on YT but he made his table very small but he did remember to add that little piece before he cut the top. And so I remembered your video, so watched it again.
Thanks Jake. I love this tool! My bandsaw sat in the case most of the time until I build this stand. Now I use the saw every day and cant imagine being without it. Hands down probably my most used tool in the shop next to the welders.
13:05 I agree!! I work as a rubbish collector giving me access to 6 Skips and you wouldn't believe how much materials I can get from contractors thrown materials!
Brandon, thank you for the nice, helpful tip of getting nuts/bolts from Trctor Supply. They can be kind of expensive (depending on the item) on some things, but it's a great way to buy fasteners.
if you design a stand for your chop saw, add on an adjustable stop so you can make repeatable cut lengths without measuring each one. simple and efficient.
Great job Brandon watch all you videos for all the new ideas that you have. Was nice to meet you at the fair three years ago nice family.. especially the baby who's gonna take your place one day.lol..keep it going bran looking to watch more..thanks for the enjoyment and projects I get to use and ideas to put to test here.
What a great unique mount. Hope you don't mind that I more or less copy this to my bandsaw to EU-standards, because our wire colours and schwitches differ a bit. I am familiar with electronica etc😁😅. Enjoyed this vid enormously and respect for your improvisation talent. Just great fun to watch. Greetz and many thanks from Holland😃
Brandon Bruce here again. I see you welded the Jorgensen modified clamp to the underside of the table. Could yo also weld the small plate to the adjustable side to make somewhat easier to clamp the bandsaw in place?.
@@BrandonLund You indicated during one of your shows that you were thinking of designing a cart for booth a welder and a plasma cutter. I will be building one soon as one of my first real projects and you are going to develop a duel cart I’ll wait.. I watch a ton of videos on topics of welding and now plasma cutting. But yours are far above the majority of other guys teaching videos. As a brand new metal hobbyist I need all the help I can find , but your my go to guy. Thanks so much !
As an electrician your tip to make sure the screws are the same direction is 💯 😂😂. Also since this is just something that will be plugged into an existing receptacle that (should be) already protected by a breaker, you dont really have too much to worry about if you mess up the wiring. But there are a lot of dumb people out there haha. Love the build! You have a lot of cool ideas on your channel of things ive been wanting to do as far as the different tools you have made. Awesome!
Nice build....I've been in the planning stages for one of these. Two things I will be doing that you didn't do. First of all, I will be adding mounting tabs to mount my table so that it wont move when I'm sawing. Second, I will be adding a channel in the table for a miter gauge.
I have the Millermatic 220 AC/DC and it supports dual bottles too. It even allows you to have MIG and TIG setup together and you just pick up the torch you need and it toggles between processes on the fly.
A real easy fix that I did on all my drill press and dust collector, and such. I bought a cheap foot pedal from Amazon, it does exactly what he's doing but it's already done for you. You plug into the foot pedal foot pedal plugs into the wall. When you're ready to operate it, you push the pedal with your foot. This is really convenient for drill presses because if you ever got a piece of metal caught in the drill press your reaction is to hang on to it and if you let go it's going to cut you. Whereas all you got to do is lift your foot up and the machine shuts off.
I like the stand. As far as the switch goes. You could use utility receptacle. They have a switch on it and you plug it in the wall and plug the saw into the receptacle. Cost about $10.
You’re having fun with this thing, aren’t you? You’re right about the small “table” on that bandsaw. It’s not designed for heavy weight, just as a stop when handholding the saw, and for cutting small parts when vertical. The leverage of a large table can pop that small table right out of the saw. It does give satisfaction to build the tools to build the, uh, tools to build, I hope something that isn’t another tool. You could weld that removable bottom spacer plate to the clamp foot.
@Russell Parker The top plate is 12x15x1/4" the 12" is the depth. The 4 vertical pieces are 1x1x7" square stick. The 2 bottom feet are 1x1x16" then slash cut at a 45 degree. The 2 pieces running parallel to the feet which the table sits on are 1x1x10" slash cut at a 45 degree.
Was thinking on .makin this what size sguare tubing.dont think its 2x1 by 1/8 that was something you must have assumed we knew.well i dont!!snookie pa.
Love your welding table !! Need get one myself!! Clamps and everything!!! Would made my job easier!! Btw !!!! How’s your pains , joints ?? I can take care tat !! Got tools here!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😅 I’d do it for FREE!! I too been scammed and play along with those idiots !!!
NIce build and simple for a beginning welder such as myself. The tab welded to the rear of the deck to eliminate table wiggle and increase blade alignment fits into what I believe is an exhaust vent for either air or metal shavings. Is there a concern with blocking this vent? Thanks!
It does block the port a little but I don't think it's enough to matter. I've been told other manufactures use this area also so it's probably not a concern.
@@BrandonLund Depending on the model, there may be other vents as well. I don't think it to be especially critical for a home guy doing occosional cuts but in a commercial production setting it could be a problem. Also-thanks-great tip about not using cutting oil as it could affect the rubber on the 2 wheels/drums
@Steve Griswold absolutely. I'm not sure how much of a rush you are in but I am swamped with work but it's something I could do for you in a couple months.
I think you could make them and sell them I like how you can take the saw off easy and use it in the field. You did a great job. you could sell them with electric or no electric I think I would like a foot switch easy to hook up
Guys, you save a bunch of money if you don't consider your time to build something. Also guys, if you already have the appropriate tools to get the job done. Guys, a mag drill will set you back $1,000 with bits and accessories. Thanks guys.
@Scott Some people prefer to build stuff rather than buy it. A mag drill will set you back 50 dollars at the local rental store but it's all in perspective. Bill Gates isn't buying OR renting a mag drill. Personal freedoms are pretty awesome.
@@BrandonLund My rental yard has them without bits for $65 a day and the place is 30 min. away. If I'm going to use a tool a few times or it's inconvenient to rent such as travel, I'll buy it to save in the long run.
Brandon its awesome your doing all of these projects while your still young ,your going to get to use them for many more years . Iam looking forward to many more builds ? Thanks TANK
Thanks man! These are all projects that I have been wanting to do for quite some time and with winter closing in quickly I think these tools are going to get a lot of use on the channel this winter. :)
My SWAG bandsaw stand uses a similar mounting method (hooks into the motor vent and uses a knob that threads into the sliding guard) but also uses set screws in a couple of places that allow you to dial in the blade angle perfectly.
@@pappaclutch3266 Sorry if that sounded like some kind of flex, I was just pointing out a possible solution to make the blade angle adjustable. Set screws are cheap too.
Brandon, I bought a similar table from "Swag Offroad" probably 5 or 6 years ago. I never even thought of building one myself, but yours is every bit as good! I also bought a foot pedal switch from him. The saw plugs into the foot switch, then the switch plugs into a wall outlet. I have mine on a small table stand. I agree with you in that I find this one of the most useful things in my shop! I use it all the time! Nice job on yours!
Brandon, i just used a spring clamp from HD that was like 2 bucks. similar build but I opted to just buy a swag table. Sure I overpaid, but at the time I was not in the shop a lot and had to maximize time to make stuff if you know what I mean. I tried a velcro strap initially but after a while it got a little grease and dirt in it and was not as able to stick together
Hey Robert great tip on the spring clamp. I actually like that idea more than the Velcro. Occasionally I do wood projects and Velcro and wood don't mix well. Thanks man!
On my 2x72 inch grinder i just used a power strip. Plug grinder into power strip push red button and bam power on.. hit the red button turn it off..mount it anywhere. No wiring needed..
The only thing different I would have done is made a lip going upwards on the little"key" you made on the table that way you could drop it on there and it wouldn't slid off.
Hey Brandon just saw your ultimate portable bandsaw stand and I heard you talking about not using oil but I use wax for my blade it protects reduces the heat and keeps the chips kind of at bay and it’s easier to clean up because oil is such a mess
Great build! I'm inspired! Thank you kindly! One thing though, your standard of putting the cord receptical underneath the plate, facing downward is absolutely brilliant! Perfect way to ensure no chips can find their way into the receptical, causing chaos. Thumbs up for safety!
Hi Brandon, new to your channel and I really enjoy the content! I was interested in the respirator that you're wearing with cartridge 2091. I looked at the 3M website and found that the 2297 might be better for welding. Though I'd pass on what I found since we have to do what we can to protect ourselves.
Thanks for sharing and your kind words @Roy Horiuchi I went to their website after your suggestion and next order i will give them a try. Thanks again! 👍🙏
Great build and great ideas to go off of. One mod that i wouldve gone a different way, is the way that u powered it up. I haven’t made myself a bandsaw table but I have clamped it in a table vise, upside down or sideways so it’s vertical. I also ended up buying a harbor freight footpedal and plugged it into that, and that’s plugged into an outlet. All I did was cut a little piece of wood, kind of a wedge-shaped piece that would be able to go into the handle area on one side and stop at a certain point, bcuz the other side is bigger. But a velcro strap would probably be even better, as the wood piece sometimes would fly out, if the saw got jostled around too much, by myself cutting something in a way that i shouldnt have. Thanks for the ideas and thanks for sharing. Aloha!
Very smart design and interesting result obtained. From my point of view, your design is among the most interesting work I have seen on UA-cam. Congratulations Brandon and many thanks.
Thanks, I'm hunting around youtube for ideas on making a bandsaw stand. But I need it to be all aluminum because I will be pumping water coolant on the blade. I don't need the saw to be easily removeable, except to change blades. I'd need a tub under it to catch the water and return it to the bucket with the fishtank pump. I may have to drill a weep hole in the saw bottom wheel housing and a rider on the blade to squeegee the water a little. A rip fence is a must for mine too. Sorry just thinking out loud here. Nice stand.
Not at all, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I can envision exactly what you are trying to build. Very well thought out and nice touch with the aluminum. You could go stainless too but it's a bit pricy but would wear great on this application.
HarborFreight sells liquid electrical tape. Maybe spray a few coats inside the boxes after you weld it together. I always heat shrink connections as well. Just a suggestion if you get bored on a rainy day.
Harbor freight sells foot pedal switches 14.00, with the momentary switch you can just lift foot off switch if you get blade stuck. Have one on drill press that gets used often when bit catches.
Hello Brandon, just seeing you video for the first time. Great ideas. It may have already been mentioned in the comments but as for the little plate the is on top of the screw portion of the Jorgensen clamp, why couldn’t you just tack it on the the valve button that way it will always be in position and it won’t ever get lost. Just sayin.
It just was not too clear what the loose plate was when used with the clamp. It could not be tacked in place? When you don't have a welder or way to shear plate I'll have to make a different plan. 😥
@bloop68 here is a link if you want to know more about it. It's a TransSteel 2200 with dual gas inputs. Pretty sweet when changing between 2 gasses. All you do it hit a button bit.ly/2X5Q4tF
@trialnterror are you sure? I should have said black is hot, white is neutral and green or bare is ground. I'm not sure why I would have said anything different than that...

Man I sure am! It's just so handy having a saw close by that I can make a quick cut without having to go to my chop saw.
a parts list with lengths would be nice.
@Russell Parker The top plate is 12x15x1/4" the 12" is the depth. The 4 vertical pieces are 1x1x7" square stick. The 2 bottom feet are 1x1x16" then slash cut at a 45 degree. The 2 pieces running parallel to the feet which the table sits on are 1x1x10" slash cut at a 45 degree.
You might think of a toggle clamp. TOGGLE CLAMPS are available at harbor freight for a few bucks. By the way, I'm a newly subscribed viewer !
Great idea Brian and thanks for subscribing!
Was thinking on .makin this what size sguare tubing.dont think its 2x1 by 1/8 that was something you must have assumed we knew.well i dont!!snookie pa.
It's 1x1x1/8
Code wise you can phase tape the white and make it a constant. You can not legally ever switch a white.
What kind of try square and bevel gauge are those?
This amzn.to/3TEsmly but I couldn't find the exact tri square. I've had mine for years. This one is very similar amzn.to/4czC2W3
If someone is concerned about electrical work, use a small power strip. Also, you can get push button safety switches like a big band saw would have.
Great tip!

Where did you get your fixture table from?
I built it for CHEAP
ua-cam.com/video/hDA4NMQY1J8/v-deo.html
You can buy a foot switch from harbor fright for 9.00$ to put on it
Not a bad idea but it's just one more thing for me to trip over and sweep around. I really like how this is all self contained.
But the foot switch you can put it up out of the way when sweeping
That works too :)
blade faces the wrong direction for a table saw
Easier way to do the switch is to get an extension cord, cut one end off and add a switch in between. You dont have to add the outlet portion.
Great idea!
Just tack the tab.

Hey Brandon just saw your ultimate portable bandsaw stand and I heard you talking about not using oil but I use wax for my blade it protects reduces the heat and keeps the chips kind of at bay and it’s easier to clean up because oil is such a mess
Great tip! I'll have to give it a try. The blade slips when using oil
Great build! I'm inspired! Thank you kindly!
One thing though, your standard of putting the cord receptical underneath the plate, facing downward is absolutely brilliant! Perfect way to ensure no chips can find their way into the receptical, causing chaos. Thumbs up for safety!
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Hi Brandon, new to your channel and I really enjoy the content! I was interested in the respirator that you're wearing with cartridge 2091. I looked at the 3M website and found that the 2297 might be better for welding. Though I'd pass on what I found since we have to do what we can to protect ourselves.
Thanks for sharing and your kind words @Roy Horiuchi I went to their website after your suggestion and next order i will give them a try. Thanks again! 👍🙏
Great build and great ideas to go off of. One mod that i wouldve gone a different way, is the way that u powered it up. I haven’t made myself a bandsaw table but I have clamped it in a table vise, upside down or sideways so it’s vertical. I also ended up buying a harbor freight footpedal and plugged it into that, and that’s plugged into an outlet. All I did was cut a little piece of wood, kind of a wedge-shaped piece that would be able to go into the handle area on one side and stop at a certain point, bcuz the other side is bigger. But a velcro strap would probably be even better, as the wood piece sometimes would fly out, if the saw got jostled around too much, by myself cutting something in a way that i shouldnt have. Thanks for the ideas and thanks for sharing. Aloha!
@Agboo Hans thank you for your support!
Great project and it doesn't appear to be too difficult to do. I'm getting a portaband saw for Christmas and I'll be building one for me.
You are going to love it Robert! I use mine way more now that I have it setup than I ever thought I would. Its just super handy
I like that bandsaw table design you came up with. A good size on the cutting table too. Very convenient. ThankQ for sharing.
Thanks Renee!
I see you improved my design…lol. I will have to remake mine. Great video. Cheers!
Nice work! I use this probably more than any tool in the shop.
You can weld a U channel on the left side and get a used miter guide from an old table saw, easy go get accurate repeat cuts.
Great tip!
This is the types of video i like to view, clear video, cleare elustrations, lots of excitement thumbs up mate.
Thanks! 😊
Great presentation. Greetings from Maine
Very smart design and interesting result obtained. From my point of view, your design is among the most interesting work I have seen on UA-cam. Congratulations Brandon and many thanks.
WOW, Thank you very much! I am honored by this. I can honestly say I love the design, and even after all these years I wouldn't change anything.
At least you identified the neutral as hot on your switch leg. I am an electrician. Good job on that part. Thanks for the video.
Thanks man!
Thanks, I'm hunting around youtube for ideas on making a bandsaw stand. But I need it to be all aluminum because I will be pumping water coolant on the blade. I don't need the saw to be easily removeable, except to change blades. I'd need a tub under it to catch the water and return it to the bucket with the fishtank pump. I may have to drill a weep hole in the saw bottom wheel housing and a rider on the blade to squeegee the water a little. A rip fence is a must for mine too. Sorry just thinking out loud here. Nice stand.
Not at all, I appreciate you sharing your thoughts. I can envision exactly what you are trying to build. Very well thought out and nice touch with the aluminum. You could go stainless too but it's a bit pricy but would wear great on this application.
HarborFreight sells liquid electrical tape. Maybe spray a few coats inside the boxes after you weld it together. I always heat shrink connections as well. Just a suggestion if you get bored on a rainy day.
Great tip! @Beason Whittington
Harbor freight sells foot pedal switches 14.00, with the momentary switch you can just lift foot off switch if you get blade stuck. Have one on drill press that gets used often when bit catches.
Great idea!
Hello Brandon, just seeing you video for the first time. Great ideas. It may have already been mentioned in the comments but as for the little plate the is on top of the screw portion of the Jorgensen clamp, why couldn’t you just tack it on the the valve button that way it will always be in position and it won’t ever get lost. Just sayin.
Great tip!
I always get calls to extend my car warranty, I always ask them which car my Lamborghini or my Ferrari, the next thing I hear is CLICK
🤣🤣🤣 those guys drive me nuts! Lol
I just watched your video and I liked your approach. Loved your "humorous " t-shirt
Thank man! I appreciate it!
Suggest using sealed electrical boxes and covers so "metallic dust" doesn't short out your tool assembly.
Good suggestion!
It just was not too clear what the loose plate was when used with the clamp. It could not be tacked in place?
When you don't have a welder or way to shear plate I'll have to make a different plan. 😥
I could have tacked it but I didn't think of it at the time.
The Milwaukee bandsaw and the bauer from harbkr freight are the same thing and i just got mine for 89 bucks.
Sweet 👍
Maybe consider welding the small plate, used to sandwich the saw stop, to the round pad on the clamp. That will make it a one hand operation.
Great tip!
Great video Brandon. I think watching u do this I would weld that bottom hold down metal to the Jordonson clamp and be done.
Not a bad idea!
I started this build last year but Life interrupted me. I’ll be finishing this up this week.
@Tanhands right on man! Have fin and enjoy!
What is the hold down clamps? On your work table, harbor freight clamp with bolt
It's a combination of modified vise grips and modified F Clamps with a 5/8" Shoulder Bolt welded to the end. I have a video showing how I built them
I would really like to see a Port a Band saw base that doubles as a hinged horizontal table or a vertical stand.
Thats an awesome idea! @flatroc1
Wow impressive nice job loved your design. N you can take the stand to work also.
Thanks man!
They make a foot pedal just for stuff like this. I just bought one. Step on the pedal it starts let off the pedal it stops
@123withrow I heard about this. Its probably a little easier also. Just plug and play
Hey Brandon what model welder is that like just scrolling up or down to switch tanks!
@bloop68 here is a link if you want to know more about it. It's a TransSteel 2200 with dual gas inputs. Pretty sweet when changing between 2 gasses. All you do it hit a button bit.ly/2X5Q4tF
nice .. add a foot pedal to the chained wiring and now you have safer control ...
Cool idea
So let me get this right you said black is ground white is hot and green was….. wait white is ground black is wait no green is 🤦🏼♂️. 🤷♂️. 🤣😂🤣
@trialnterror are you sure? I should have said black is hot, white is neutral and green or bare is ground. I'm not sure why I would have said anything different than that...
@@BrandonLund I’m messing with you, I know how to do it!!!
Hahahahaha you had me questioning myself there for a minute lol🤣🤣🤣
Why didn't you use a switchable outlet, then you would only need one electircal box?
I wanted the cord back and out of the way for a cleaner look plus it prevents metal dust from getting into the outlet.
I made a stand Inspired by this video. It is not as pretty as yours but it works great! Thanks.
Wonderful!
Weld the plate the clamp and then you don’t have to worry about losing it 😁
Great tip!
