Same here.

Not sure that this really applies, but I made it yesterday and thought of this thread, so what the heck...

Using my metal band saw yesterday, I decided enough was enough. The flimsy sheetmetal cart that came with it required that I kneel on the floor every time I wanted use the thing, it was way “tippy”, it was a pain to move around, and it had next to no storage space.

I took a break from working on the C10 and turned a bunch of scrap steel into a cart that’s actually usable. For a total investment of zero dollars and a couple of hours of my time, I’m quite happy with it. It's stable, easy to move, places the saw at a comfortable height, and has storage for metal scraps, blades, the table for vertical use, etc. I may make it pretty someday (clean it up and paint it), but I doubt it.
