Painful Pictures

That IS huge – basically a giant scrollsaw, in that cuts so deep.

That’s one of the 30”+ band saws! Like Yates-American or one of those; bet if you remove the rust and with a little TLC it would run like a champ! It would be easy to get blades made for it; any number of MFG’s make them to order

What a waste!

Thanks for the post

Another example of abandoning the aged just when they are starting to develop character.

Dereck,
The woodworking school at Settle Central Community College, where I attended school has to big ones like that. One the frame moves around the table and the other does not move. Massive band saws.
Checkout the video http://www.woodconstruction.org I took the Cabinetmaking and Fine Woodworking Program, defietly wood shops on steroids.

look what i have found on my remote island! http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=165644767

alas, its on the wrong island. shipping costs will probably be a deal breaker

-- The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep...

I agree with Chris, you give that thing some TLC and it would outlast you…. great post!

-- As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)

so… um where was that again $)

I think one of the Lumberjocks has a saw similar to that one in his shop. Can’t remember who it was.
