Since posting pictures of my shop I’ve had several people inquire about my wooden bandsaw, personally I can’t take credit for it as I rent my fathers shop for my work and this little gem is his doing, but I thought it would be nice to show since people keep asking about it.
Originally I uploaded this to my profile but now I’ve made a profile dedicated to my fathers work I feel it’s appropriate to put it here.

That has to be a one of a kind bandsaw. Well done.

Amazing that a band saw can be made out of wood and function! Two thumbs up for Dad!

I would make fun of it if I wasn’t so jealous.

I’m working on a band saw from only wood- even the tension spring is wood. You’d be surprised, but solid wood is even stiffer than hollow cast iron.
Can we see more photos of your saw?
