Homemade Bandsaw Mill

Morning All.

Mathias Wandel makes some ingenious 'things'/tools/machines and posts them on YouTube. I have been following his stuff for a few years and it is 'interesting'.

So if your are interested it may be worth your while to look at some of thing he has made to give you some ideas.

Grahame,

My 12" bandsaw could be a candidate for conversion.

Perhaps the saw in a fixed position overhead and a height adjustable rolling bed to carry the stock.
