Building a bandsaw on the cheap from mostly scrap wood

[xoxoxoBruce]

Since this thread was so popular it was suggested someone start a new thread of a project they're building.
While surfing the web I spotted an ad saying, "Build the Best Saw in the World". Lots of hoopla each ending
with "Best Saw in the World". So I go to their site and they'll sell you detailed plans, an instruction video, and
bill of materials for "Best Saw in the World", only $40.



WTF? Saw? That doesn't look like a saw?
Then they show what the "Best Saw in the World" can do.



Dude, that ain't what a saw does.
Then they say it can be controlled from your computer or laptop.
OK it's a computer controlled milling machine. I wonder how much it would cost to build it, 3 lead screws, 3control boxes
with 3 stepper motors can't be cheap.
Then you have to write the programs, I know it's not that simple. I did that for a living for many years.

Interesting, but that ain't no saw, Bubba.
