There was a post a while back about band saws. I found this book in which this wood worker couldn't either so he made his own.View attachment img007e.jpg

I've heard about that book but have never seen it which is probably a good thing. I don't need anymore projects. I have used a similar saw before. It's a GIANT jigsaw. The one thing that quickly gets your attention is the upstroke really wants to lift your stock off the table. Bandsaws don't do this unless you wire them in reverse

This will date me, I remember when this saw came out in the article in the magazine. I've probably still got it in the piles of crap in my office. What I remember is the saw blade advances slightly on the down stroke, and retracts slightly on the up stroke.
