Following advice from many quarters I started my workshop by buying the
best table saw I could justify and a jointer.

I realized the downside to this approach while cutting out push sticks
with a fret saw.

This then left me with a quandry, invest (i.e. spend more than I
should) in a quality bandsaw, buy a medium priced machine and probably
regret not paying more or buy an utter POC.

So anyway I just got a Delta 10" bandsaw plus stand for $109 at Costco,
the price in Lowes is $200 which is what costco started at, I almost
bought the same saw a week earlier when it was$159.

If it is a complete POC my planer will go on the stand, the saw will go
on craigslist and I will probably get my money back.

It looks like it should be up to making pushsticks though

It should but rather than a cheap and very limited bandsaw I'd have gone for
either a jigsaw or a scroll saw--if you don't already have a good handheld
power saw the jigsaw might be the better bet.
