There was an old band saw stored in the back of our farm shop and it was just about to be hauled to the scrap yard when I decided to grab it and put it in my barn. I thought it would be a really handy tool to have, since it's always set up, plugged in, and ready to cut. I didn't know what it was going to take to get going, I just jumped in on tearing it all apart and getting it cleaned up. I replaced all the bearings, installed new tires, and made some slight modifications to get new guides to work. I gave everything a coat of paint and put it back together. I was really happy to see that the blade tracked well and I was feeling optimistic it might actually work. I didn't want to put the band saw back on the original flimsy stand though, so I designed and started fabricating a new one to be cut on the CNC plasma cutting table, which will be taller, enclosed, and have a door. Once the stand was done, I bolted the band saw onto it, installed the motor, turned the saw on and got to cutting!
