Can a jigsaw compete with a CNC plasma cutter? DiResta portable bandsaw stand with simple tools

Do you really need to spend $15,000 on a computer-controlled plasma-cutting table to make elaborate cuts in incredibly hard steel?

Well, if you’re in a hurry, then yeah, you should probably buy one of those tables (or find someone else who already has one).

But if you’ve got some time, such as, let’s say, a year or so, then good news: Such metalwork is totally doable on your own with simple tools.

For proof, consider this: A copy of Jimmy DiResta’s portable bandsaw stand, which I made primarily with a jigsaw.

Full report coming soon to ProjectLab.How.
