This might sound a little weird, but there are a few youtubers that leave me awestruck and this guy is one of them. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. This is what youtube and the internet in general should be about.

The wheels are slightly crowned accross the width of their radius. As long as theyre both aligned with one another the band seeks the crown .The largest radius of the oval shape created by the two wheels. The largest radius also being the point of best traction. Lets maybe see some tires next time. Like stretched out thornproof bike tubes. Then again,balancing would become an issue once more. Very entertaining. Thanks

very dangerous with no guards ,also both sides of the axels should be supported .you don't see a bicycle only supported on on side of the axel
Hey Matthias. Awesome videos. I've watched all the vids on your bandsaw and have a question concerning the balancing of the wheels. Is there any particular reason why you remove wood from the wheel as opposed to putting in a screw or nail opposite the heavy side? I watched a guy building from your plans, and he removed a significant amount of wood to balance it out. It would seem a screw would be good cause it is heavy, you can choose different sizes and is removable in case it is misplaced.

It's best to balance wood with wood. As humidity changes, the wood could easily change by 5% in mass. If wood is balanced with wood, then that doesn't throw it off balance.
