Hi Crankey1,

Welcome!

I definitely appreciate (and share!) your philosophy that a tool should never die; I'm sure you'll find that most around here would agree. I feel the same way about most antiques, especially anything mechanical.

If you're thinking of building a bandsaw mill, you'll enjoy perusing the videos in our recent Bandsaw Mills post.

Let's see some pics of your progress - lots of us would enjoy watching over your shoulder…
