New to this forum and very new to blacksmithing. Currently doing research and taking a class next month and reading in my minimal spare time. But I have a working shop on my farm where I work on my equipment, vehicles, fabricate different things. I have welders, plasma cutter, oxy/acetylene torches, etc. in my 40x80 shop. I built this fabrication station last winter because I was tired of having to dig out the various things on my benches to use them.
I have one grinder with two types of stones, one grinder with two types of wire wheels, belt sander/wheel sander, my Dewalt band saw mounted and my drill press. Wheels lock in place and becomes stationary when I need to use it and can roll it out of the way when I don't need it.
I recommend a bench or pedestal to support and use a drill press and a cut-off saw for metal
