I got tired of the miter saw turning metal into scrap and dust. So today I made a trip to Northern Tool and picked up a dry saw http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200326857_200326857 . This think is great. The price in the store was less than their web site.
I got some cutting done today, but not as much as I was hoping. Next it will be time to play with the welder and start tacking everything together.

First Cut
I sneaked out of work a bit early today. I mean it was in the 60's today, how can you be expected to stay in the office all day :-)
I have now cut my first three tubes. I know this is a small thing but it is a start.
Lesson learned today. When using an abrasive disk in a miter saw the blade flexes side to side very easily. You can end up with cuts that are not very straight. I think the trick is to not force the blade.
