Home made bandsaw
« on: September 13, 2013, 10:30:00 pm »
THIS IS NOT MINE.  I DID NOT MAKE IT.

I saw this band saw on craigslist and thought it was rather interesting.  Looks like someone with some ingenuity put this together.  I like the valve handle on the upper guide assembly.  I would love to take a close look at it and watch it run.  I thought you guys would like it.

AND YOU HAVEN'T BOUGHT IT YET???  That's the coolest looking bandsaw I have ever seen!  You would immediately have serious street cred in the woodworking world with that machine!

For 60 bucks I'd snatch that up pretty darn quick!

That's cool! I bet he was a Driller :) You might need to take a fork lift with you.

The idea is he sends me a stave as a generous gift and I return the favor with providing the means for him to get that bandsaw. I'd love to see it be in the pa community.

Thanks, but no thanks fella's.  It isn't close to me at all, and I don't have the room for it.  But I agree with you Sleek.  I would love to see pictures of a bow being roughed out on it.  Maybe we could find a bowyer in the 937 area code to go look at it.

That would be Dayton, OH. How do you search for members by geographic location?
