Bandsaw Base

Well done, looks solid and has clean edges. Speaking of clean, your shop looks clean and ten times the size of mine. Envy

Great job.

Nicely done and what a nice clean shop you keep! I just started using Tung Oil and so far I love using it, it’s easy and gives a great glow to the wood, I think it will become my typical finish also.

Great Job! How do you like the saw? I have been thinking of getting a bigger one for my shop as well.

hi Sac, I’m a newcomer from Italy; for now I’m commenting the job made by others, in some days I’ll post something by me…

Obviously in general I agree with the others; I suggest not to screw in the head of the plank, it isn’t a good practice, I think.

Hey Sac,
That is a good design and well built….....nice one.

-- I will just keep doing it till I get it right.

What a neat idea! I wish all the companies were sensitive to the fact that we are “different heights”. I always end up making some sort of step (usually a doctored up skid) for my tools… and I’m 5’ 2”!!!!
Nice job and you look like a natural at that bandsaw.

Great stand Sac. Looks really sturdy and should suit you well.
And Man-O-Man, do you have enough space??!!
You’re lucky I don’t live by you because you’d never get rid of me!
“Gee, I think I’ll go over and visit my good buddy Sac, and mess around in that huge, nicely outfitted shop of his!!!”

I’m with Vince above, ENVY!

-- Eric

Very nice Sac, I also like the planer cart and wide belt sander cart in the background.

Sac,

You’re a woodworker because you own a nice shop.
You’re a good woodworker because your stand is well done, sturdy and properly finished.
You’re a great woodworker because you didn’t need any plan.
You’re a friendly woodworker because you shared your project.

Best,

Serge

good Idea ,I don’t know why band saw makers don’t offer a variety base sizes

-- Bob Vila would be so proud of you!

Thanks all for your comments. I have some more projects to finsih up and then I will have more to post. Stay tuned..

Sac

My hat is off to you!.....great adaptation….and I love how the rest of your shop is also set up to accomodate for your stature (and how clean and roomy….) Being in a wheelchair doesn’t stand in the way of what you enjoy doing….it just takes some innovation…Bravo!

In my stead I am having to accomodate my “seniority.” Believe me…as I age I am finding it most difficult to perform the tasks I took for granted not that long ago….I am constantly looking for reading glasses or a magnifying glass to read specs…plans….the easiest things….I cannot lift the sheet goods and lumber like I used too…I cannot work at the lathe like I want as my neck and back will not take the abuse….certainly not the difficulties you have overcome….but these frail bodies of ours do need a lot of “assistance.”

I look forward to the projects that will come from this newer innovation.

-- Woodworking.....My small slice of heaven!

Nice job,,,,,,,,,Looks like its going to be a fantastic shop!

-- Les, Wichita, Ks. (I'd rather be covered in saw dust!)

Looks like it could support an elephant!
