what is that?

It's a pizza oven used in bars -- particularly good for pizza bagels, box pizza, texas toast, mini-quiches, samosas -- all those stinky high fat foods which go great with a beer.

Stabist,

You must apply clear paint to your copper after brushing it... clear polyurethane will do a good job.

Forstner bit:

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Cutting oil or alcohol and a drill press. Drill a pilot hole for the Forstner bits tip first.

Soldering Iron

Heres a quick tip.

My Weller soldering iron station burnt out about 4 years ago.

I simply replaced it with a Dell Laptop charger.

Works like a charm. As an added bonus, I can use it anywhere in the world now - 240VAC in Euroland, 100VAC here in Japan and wherever else they send me next.

Circular saw table attachment

For anything that doesn't fit my mitre saw I'm using that setup. I bought that table long time ago at Canadian Tire and although desined for wood cutting it works great with metals. I'm using 7.5" circular saw which can slide above the table. I clamp aluminum pieces to the table. I was cutting 1" thick aluminum pieces as well as 2" thick heat sinks without a problem. When a piece is thicker I do two or three runs to complete the cut. Don't forget about the safety glasses.😎

Hi,
Can ytou tell me the make and model of the saw table and where I can get one? It looks like something I can use with my wormdrive saw.
Thanks,
David
