Default Started building a bandsaw mill

I've been collecting metal, parts, tools etc. over the past 6 months
or so and finally started building the beast.

I just finished building two parts for the track.

section 1

section 2

The sections measure 56 inches wide and 8'6 long made with 4" x 6" x
1/4" thick steel angle. The stringers in most instances are the same
material.

That's as far as I've gone so far, I still have to level these up,
butt them together and fasten them together with weld and bolts. I'm
cutting mobile home axles down currently for the project.

The engine I plan to use is an old 1952 4 cyl Wisconsin hay bailer
engine that I bought for 50 bucks.

The only material I need now are a couple 4.5 inch square column
material and some stainless steel cable for a band head leveling
mechanism.

I know I don't have much to show you guys currently, but at least I
finally started building.
