Homemade Bandsaw - Pt.1

A slideshow and a couple of shots through building my own bandsaw. This is what I guess is a construction diary of building a homemade or shop built bandsaw out of wood, It works really well despite how long it took to build. The homemade bandsaw was a really great project and a good personal challenge. The homebuilt bandsaw can deal with just about anything and even cut though a desent log. Although I couldn't show how I built it really this video does give you an insight into building a homemade bandsaw.

[TeenWoodworker]

@phill360x

Thats right.

hi alex cool bandsaw but what store bought bandsaw did you use to make this as i saw one in the vid would be great i you could tell me thx

[TeenWoodworker]

@chaddythewoodpecker

It was a 56" length blade Titan bandsaw, very cheap and pretty awful.

[dh5830]

That is going to shake itself apart.

[TeenWoodworker]

@dh5830

It is shaking due to a unstable base. If you watch the second part to this video you will see that the saw opperates just fine.

you got this idea from mattthiaswandel and bought the plans didnt you? i love urs and his channel!!!!!

[JanForest]

@TeenWoodworker you should probably mention that in the video or at least in the description

Alex...you do some amazing projects for a lad of your age. I'm always impressed with the quality of your woodworking. Your parents should be very proud of their "creative son". Looking forward to your future vids, keep 'em coming. Don't let school distract you from your projects ;^)

Log splitting is better and faster with an axe :-) Thanks for the video.

[vandewieljeroen]

is that the bandsaw that Matthias Wandel designed? I was thinking about building that, but ama bit scared, due to de difficulty level.

Great instruction on how to fold a blade, I use the same technic and I think that it is much safer then the "to hand" technic most shows
