Homemade Bandsaw Build

Hey LJ!

So a few weeks back I posted some mid-project photoes of how my bandsaw build was going and although it is not entirley finished and still needs little extras like a coat of paint, a stand and a fence I can now show you the fully working and (built bandsaw).

Alex, Great work. Awesome project. Curious as to how the wooden blade guides hold up.

What a fine job you have done on that saw. It should give you years of service.

@AttainableApex
Yes this is his design. I don't usually follow plans and looking back it may have been easier but it was nice having the support considering I havn't built somthing like this before.

Outstanding…...it appears your new saw likes to resaw logs…..I feel there will be some new turning projects in your near future…..a nice bowl perhaps.

Really cool. Its neat to see someone else make Mathis' saw. I look foward to seeing the project complete.

I would have been over the moon if I had been capable of building such a project at your age Alex (or maybe at any age). What a great build! This bandsaw should give you good service for many years to come. Congratulations on such an impressive achievement! The video was well done too.

Most excellent Alex. I love the picture of you standing on the frame. It really shows how strong this design really is. I too have considered building this bandsaw. Perhaps down the road. Again, great job.

Well done I like it, I use wooden blade guides, and use the hardest wood available and have not had a problem when they wear down I just move them along

Super job Alex.

I got those plans last year and now I am going to have to actually get moving.

Did you builtt exactly to the plans?

I'm thinking of making it about 3" taller.

@crank49
I built it pretty much to the plans. Although that ideaof extending the frame is pretty nice. You would need to make no other alteration to the rest of the design apart from the length of the blade.

(I am a little gelous now…ha!)

Great build on that bandsaw. Don't forget to sign and date it!! You'll be able to show it to your grand kids someday and they will be really impressed!

Very cool Alex! Looks like you put it through some pretty tough paces and it worked like a champ. What was your cost like to build it yourself?

Hey thanks! I think the cost came to about £250.

How easy do you think it would be to convert something like this to a bandsaw mill style? I've seen a few like this and have thought something built with small bicycle wheels and a small gas motor might do the trick vs. the several thousand for a real mill.

@derosa
Somthing like this could easily be used as a bandmill, with a few modifications. I have thought about building one myself, but I really don't have the space to store it.
I have seen similar setups using car tyres, these wooden wheels would work aswell.
