"  Jamie Hyneman&amp;#039;s Essential Tools by Jamie Hyneman   MYTHBUSTERS MONTH \u2022 PLUS: The Mythbusters&amp;#039; Guide to Gonzo Engineering  \u2022 MYTHBUSTERS: More Tests and Projects from Jamie and Adam   MIG Welder  If I could have only one welder, it would be MIG. There are times when you have to use a TIG for high-performance welds and a stick welder for coarse work. But MIG is the easiest, fastest way to weld. And the most versatile\u2014you can use it 90 percent of the time. Steel Square Tubing  This 1-inch tubing makes for easily welded joints and light, stiff structures. Dust Collectors  They improve the overall workflow. Dust collectors are the difference between a shop that works powerfully and one that limps along.

Nesting Tables  I designed and built these tables to save floor space and increase countertop area in our workshop. The two 1-inch-square steel tubing frames are the same height, but the four-sided inner frame is narrower, so it fits inside the three-sided outer frame. Both tabletops are plywood. The inner top isn&amp;#039;t secured to its frame; when the frames nest, it rests on the outer table&amp;#039;s top, temporarily secured with wood screws. When expanded, most nesting tables have stepped-down surfaces. With my design, when I slide out the inner table and move its top into place, it&amp;#039;s flush with the outer top, doubling the work-surface area.  Words of Wisdom: \u2022 If you cant find it, you can&amp;#039;t use it.\u2022 Sometimes I buy cheap tools and modify them.   Adam Savage&amp;#039;s Essential Tools by Adam Savage  Portable Band Saw  It&amp;#039;s quiet and cuts through steel, aluminum, wood and plastic. I could cook with the thing, I love it so much. Trupan  I build everything out of 1-inch Trupan. It&amp;#039;s half the weight of typical particleboard and doesn&amp;#039;t have any formaldehyde in it. Leatherman  One of the best tools ever invented. I&amp;#039;ve got about eight\u2014and one for every toolbox. LED Flashlight  It&amp;#039;s insanely useful to have one with you at all times. Once you start, you won&amp;#039;t be able to do without it. Promise. Sortimo System  I bought a bunch of suitcase-size tool sorters and filled them with every nut and bolt I&amp;#039;ll ever need. The cases slide under my workbench, and they&amp;#039;re labeled on the side so I can find everything. And I can fit the cases in the back of my truck. Traveling Toolbox  Every off-roader needs a toolkit, but space inside my 1982 diesel Toyota Land Cruiser is tight\u2014and a tailgate-mounted toolbox might attract thieves. So I converted a metal jerrycan commonly found on adventure rigs into an incognito toolbox. On the narrow side, opposite the gas cap, a piano hinge riveted in place connects the halves of the can; a two-piece metal brace holds the top part open. Aluminum sheets divide the interior space and secure smaller items. To further conceal the can&amp;#039;s true purpose, I made a tailgate mount with steel supports that hide the seam.  Words of Wisdom: \u2022 There&amp;#039;s no shame in starting something but failing to finish.\u2022 For the tools you use often, get the good stuff.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
