Building a bandsaw on the cheap from mostly scrap wood

[glatt]

Back at the beginning of the month on October 2nd, I dug around for a nice scrap of quarter inch plywood to serve as the most visible part of the saw. The upper wheel cover. It will feel good to have this cover in place because that big spinning wheel of death is just a couple of inches from my nose as I use the saw.



I cut it to shape on the table saw except for the very last inch or two of the inside corner. For that, I went over to my BANDSAW to cut it out.



I cut the first simple edge board to length and glued it in place



The next edge board has a little notch cut out of it to make space for the blade guide, which slides up and down.
