    Must see this WOOD bandsaw.

    I could not believe it when I saw this when perusing some of the other MI craigslist sites.
    Incredible.

        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.

              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.

                    The motor must be pretty hard to fabricate. What wood do you use for the windings?
