Forget the sawmill, just give me that slab of wood
I was going to do it right up until where you called me a cheapskate. Now I hope you get a lump of coal in your stocking.
Are you planning on resawing a pickup truck or something?
Wonder how big a pointy stick you could make with that - not to mention push sticks.

Here's an 80-incher:
I'd buy it for you, but since you'd never get it in the door to your workshop, I'm not going to spend money on something that's just going to get rusty sitting out in the rain.
I think I have bandsaw envy what with my 16 inch Walker Turner.
Being a foreigner and all, I didn't really know the true meaning of cheapskate. (I thought it was some kinda hockey term, I did).....but now that I know...
*putting cheque-book away*Damn, that'll take at least 3 gallons of yeller paint.

What I don't understand is they say they've been accumulating logs up to 7 feet in diameter, and they they went out and bought a 67" saw. That seems like the kind of dumb thing I would do. What'd they do, get to the bandsaw store and then they couldn't find the scrap of paper they wrote the numbers down on so they guessed?
We did take up a collection. All of us were eager to contribute but seeing that we're all cheapskates no one would spring for the postage to send the check.
I'm a little short on cash, but I'll send you some beer cans you can cash in for 5¢ apiece. Keep an eye out for that beg green trash bag full of them when the UPS man drops them on the doorstep.
Tell you what, we'll kick in for the mill, *you've* got to furnish the blade. When you get the blade in house, give us a ring, we'll work the saw then. :-)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough +--------------------------------------------------------------------------------+Crap. I already knew that if I just asked for it that wouldn't work. So, I figured I might be able to shame you guys into doing the decent thing. Should have figured that wouldn't work either. I'd planned on cornering the DIY pointy stick kit market, but you've all shattered that dream. Which means I've got to cancel the order for those six whole redwood trees, fast. The price on the trees isn't so bad, but the shipping to NC is a bitch.

Used ones come up for sale every now-and-again. Do a Google search on "bandmill", you'll probably find one. Heck, you might even find plans to make your own.
