As woodworkers we also need to cut metal once in a while. Also, having the ability to cut metal will allow us to create custom handles as I have on past projects.
The question is how do we get a clean cut? Hacksaw? Reciprocating saw?
Nope - portaband is the answer.
The portaband is a powerful, smooth cutting portable bandsaw and a tool that I recommend for any custom woodworking shop.
Good friend and fellow woodworker, Scott Morrison, just showed up in a Gerber Knife commercial (not the baby food company.)
It is pretty funny to see him portraying the tough guy image. I have had some good laughs with Scott and "badass" is not a term I would use to describe him, that's what is really funny about the whole thing. I would even swear he is trying not to crack a smile while mugging tough for the camera.
It is very cool to see Scott shaping one of his signature rocking chairs which is shown in full view.
A gold nugget lesson here; never underestimate the power of a fleeting image like that. Keep this in mind if you are trying to figure out ways to market yourself.
Be sure to check out Scott's site and YouTube channel, you will love visiting both.
Now, I will fill you in on the real Scott Morrison. I do not have some special exclusive friendship with him, he is a good friend to all that he meets. Be sure to check him out if you have not yet. If you have woodworking questions, especially pertaining to sculpted furniture or want to learn how to build sculpted furniture - Scott's your guy! He's a real American Craftsman with the skills and the "Share the Love~Share the Knowledge" attitude.
Congrats to Scott for getting in on a Gerber Knife commercial!
Your friend in the shop-
