Sent the link to the bandsaw mill to my brother.
Thanks
Karl


Does he plan to make one? I've heard that trailer wheels and bearings
work well, too. I grabbed the Kawasaki wheels from a friend who had
crashed it. 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.


He's considering it. He'd like to buy a used mill. He's got 33 acres
of field and forest. He's got a 5hp bandsaw in his shop for resawing
but only has the chainsaw guide that rides on a 2x4 to break down the
logs.
