Considering a home made bandsaw
sleek:
I need one, can't afford one. story of my life. I have a lot of osage that wont make a bow due to bugs, but could easily make parts for the base and frame. I have several 3/4 horse motors from hot tub water pumps. All I need now is to figure out wheels, adjustments, bearings guides... EVERYTHING. Anybody got a set of plans or ideas they had?
dylanholderman:
not a complete build but check out his other videos on the subject, he might also sell plans i'm not sure.

just add the ''h'' in the front.
DC:
There is a bunch of how to videos out there. It doesn't look that difficult especially if you just make one for straight 90° cuts, no bevels and such. I looked at doing it myself for a while but I just don't have the room.
mullet:
I have two bandsaws with minor problems I wish were out of my way.
JEB:
I don't know Sleek. Sometimes when you get done with a project like this it would be cheaper to go to Harbor freight and pick one up for around $100.00. But you seem to be ambitious so make sure you let us know how it goes, with photos.
