I'm trying to figure out a way to build a homemade bandsaw that is human powered,,, have not searched this up before, seen treadle table saws, scroll saws, drill press, and hand planes for router cuts... most things I will have to make on my own,,, and soon, moving to a shed that has no electric... and cant run electric too it,,, only thing i can use is a solar light I found on amazon... but, figured it was time to go old school, and try to make my own tools....any ideas would be appreciated... thanks

Great work, very impressive. I'd love to see details of your blade tensioner. and the press jig for making all the spokes identical is great. Well Done!
