That certainly is a wood cutting wood bandsaw alright. Very unique. Must have made someone's dream come true.

So was it used to make itself?

I don't remember where I saw it (some library book), but it had plans for 2 or 3 different saws made of wood. Pretty cool.

The possibility exists that it was used to clone itself though.

Now that's neat! Looks well thought out and made.

Interesting idea, to say the least! Would like to see it in action.

Gill Built were kits with a few metal pieces where you made all the rest of the parts.
