They already had a sprocket and he had burned the rear
tire flat to the cords, the right shape for a bandsaw. The front tire
was difficult to flatten to match.

Actually -- a bandsaw wheel should have a crown to cause the
blade to walk to the center of the wheel's width. (The blade climbs up
any slope on the wheel, so a crown will cause it to be self-centering.

Enjoy,
