Building a bandsaw on the cheap from mostly scrap wood - Page 20

Cool, now make another bandsaw from clear plexiglass.

Gravdigr · 11-28-2016, 03:13 PM

Ooooohh.

classicman · 11-28-2016, 05:19 PM

Sweet! This has been most enjoyable AND educational.

lumberjim · 11-28-2016, 06:00 PM

Neat

It looks like it was obviously homemade... by a craftsman.

Clodfobble · 11-28-2016, 09:12 PM

Goddamn you motherfuckers are handy.

Undertoad · 11-29-2016, 01:29 PM

The next one you could do in less than half the time, though

xoxoxoBruce · 11-29-2016, 01:42 PM

The skills and knowledge you got from this project are worth a few grand.
Plus the pride of accomplishment and the respect of your peers... who will ask you to do things for them now you have a bandsaw.

Hammer a copper penny into a flat oval, bang a 1 into it, and affix it with copper tacks. Then make a 2nd one, 3td, etc, and sell it to someone.... Like me or foot or Bruce..... Defray your cost.

fargon · 11-30-2016, 07:02 AM

I'd buy one.

lumberjim · 11-30-2016, 10:42 AM

I will once I own a home again. Maybe 3 or 4 years hence

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.
