Hi Joe - welcome to HomemadeTools.net

Do you see any interesting projects here that catch your eye?

[alabamajoe]

Yes. I have recently taken an interest in building a power hacksaw. Looks like it would be a fun, useful, and inexpensive project. I saw one in my internet searching that led me to this sight. It is somewhat humorous though - the actual picture came from WeldingWeb - of which I am already a member.

Hi Joe,

Welcome!

Which power hacksaw caught your eye? Keep us posted on the build - lots of guys would enjoy following your progress.

I cannot find the one that caught my attention, but it was visually similar to this one - https://books.google.com/books?id=B-...page&q&f=false . Since then, I think I have decided to build this one - http://www.green-trust.org/junkyardp...rHackSawPS.pdf - It appears to be very starightforward and simple. I am in the parts gathering stage now and will start a thread when I have actually built it.

Looks like a great project. It's good to see that the vintage stuff is still useful and of interest. I'll be looking forward to your project pics.
