Building a bandsaw on the cheap from mostly scrap wood

[glatt]

I even bought a metric tape measure and used metric units every time I measured anything.

The plans said that US dimensional lumber could be used for the frame, but I wish I had bought a thickness planer and run the boards through to make them all the standard metric thickness when I started this thing because this is the third time I have run into an issue with the frame being thicker than the plans called for and it caused a problem.

At least it's in my basement where I can fix it. If it was on Mars, I would be out of luck.
