• Grinding a steel project using an angle grinder. Michael Menzies from Braeside Farm is wearing full safety gear including a face mask, heavy gloves, welding leathers and ear protection. A drum makes a great flat work bench. On the bench are a collection of vice grips for clamping, a wire brush and flux hammer, and a magnetic square for squaring pieces to be welded.
  • An abrasive chop saw on the left and a basic bench grinder on the right. A C clamp is being used to temporarily secure the bench grinder. Ignore the mess on the rest of the workbench.

  • A 4 1/2" Makita angle grinder without the grinding wheel attached. I like having the gaurd for the wheel to keep sparks from flying back toward me. I also like having the extra handle for better control.
  • A basic mechanics tool box is nice for organizing tools. In front of the tool box is a 4 1/2" Makita angle grinder. Hearing protection is key when using power tools.
  • A basic stick welder. These aren't very big but they need a 220 volt outlet with a big breaker to work at full power.
