Building a bandsaw on the cheap from mostly scrap wood

[glatt]

4/26/16 Tuesday evening. I got 1.5 hours in tonight because the kids were doing homework and my wife was at a meeting, so nobody would really notice if I scampered down to the workshop for a while.

I'm continuing to work on the top axle mount. I started off making cuts with the table saw, but the block was so big, I had to have the blade high, and I couldn't use a blade guard, and figuring out how to clamp the thing down was tricky. It just wasn't fun. And setting the angles and blade height was tricky, getting the calipers out.

So I switched to hand saws, and it was much more pleasant. Japanese pull saws are a joy to use.

So this is what I made tonight.

No problem, just throw that block in the CNC mill and watch it work, while shooting footage for utube.
