Bandsaw MADE out of wood !!

Why? The plans for a wooden band saw are not a secret.

Most wood and metal turning lathes were also made with wooden frames before the turn of the last century. They damped out vibration better then the newer cast iron machines, but cheap beat out quality and they were no more. Bugs

the two of them would hunt deer and use the saw to butcher it. I have inherited it, and while the blade moves at very low speed, it does cut wood (and frozen chili) and I use it often.

DAGS.

I enjoyed just looking at those pictures. Neat! Years ago there were plans for a bandsaw made of several layers of plywood enclosing the wheels & blade. I would have liked to build it, but I was just a kid at the time.
