    I'll have to go with Mike's - I really love his vise-less methods.

    Now what I could do is use my old bench as a glue up/assembly table.

    Thanks, that might be my solution I'm looking for. I'm aiming to be a hybrid but if I can eliminate the tough jobs my hand (ripping, resawing) then I know I'll give myself a huge boost.

    Bandsaw outside?

    I want to get a bandsaw but the only place I can put it is outside.

    Is this throwing my money away? Will it rot to rust quickly? Or do I need to hose it down with WD40 every day when I'm done.

    but I don't want to buy a cyclone big vac just yet,
