"Home built bandsaw mill
by Rick Allen at gardenofwar.gq.nu

Band saw lumber mill design notes. There are many things that can go
wrong with this and either kill you, maim you or people nearby. I once
had a blade break and had an 8 inch section sticking out of the shed
you can see in some of the photos. (build a blade guard) "

I wasn't supposed to copy that, but it may be of interest.

I have to say that to get US$700 reserve for a home-built, a coat of
paint would have helped at least the _image_ of the thing!

Hoo, boy... I've had enough moments of excitement to not want to be
anywhere near that thing when it was running. The thought of that blade
comming off gives me the willies.

them. It's very sad
