I just went through the thread adding up the time I probably spent on each step, and I think I put about 115 - 135 hours into this project. I didn't keep clear enough records to know for sure. Figure 3 work weeks. And I spent about $300 on materials for it. To pay myself minimum wage, I would have to charge $2,040 for this saw.
Laguna sells a 16 inch band saw for $3,499, so I'm cheaper than that.
But Grizzly sells one for $850.
