    This is a truly impressive bandsaw Matthias. It isn't just bigger by a couple inches, it gets better with each incarnation. I started building my 16" almost 2 years ago, got frustrated and stalled on the frame glue up and life got in the way. I could have founded the Procrastinators Club of America with all my good intentions of finishing it and I was wanting to get back to it for a long time. But I offer this as a testimonial today, I got going on it again and I am making great progress. I studied the plans for a couple hours and read every word again. I had a few epiphanies along the way and I think I went from "following directions" to "understanding the bandsaw". Thanks again for sharing all your great woodworking videos and tools on UA-cam. It is fantastic to see and a true inspiration to many like me.

    I'm taking down a walnut this year, and a few other trees. I already have a large walnut branch that has been down 3 years, and a cedar log that has been down longer. I'm looking forward to building a setup like this. Perhaps not as detailed as anything you've made. But definitely something that can make flat pieces out of round logs. I have an alaskan mill but I don't like wasting wood with it. I prefer cutting wood down to 12/4 or larger and putting slabs up in the shed to forget about. But if I build something like this.. or your horizontal mill.. oh buddy.
    Thanks for being an inspiration. I'm going to buy plans from you one of these days just to show my support. You have more than earned all the good things that are coming your way. Keep up the good work!

    I love old broken washers and dryers.. especially dryers. They are so useful for so many projects. I've already planned what I'm going to do with the next dryer I find.. It's going to be a compost sifter! Which still leaves the tin useful for so many projects. You can do just about anything if you buy/build a metal brake, roller, and other various powered and hand tools.

    @petercollin5670 7 років тому

    You will hear loggers talk about how the trees "open up". That's comparing the sawn lumber with how the log looked on the live tree. It's always exciting for me to go pick up a load of lumber my friend milled for me to see how my logs opened up. You can be either pleasantly surprised or disappointed. If I may make a suggestion, when you do some sawing of logs (and I suspect you will be doing a bunch of it in the months to come!) perhaps you could let the camera linger on the fresh boards so we may see how your log opened up. You get only a little bit of that here. That walnut looks like it was either steamed to bleed some of the pigment into the sapwood, or it might have been laying outside for a while. (Didn't know walnut grew that far north!)

    Currentlly assembling materials for one of these Wandel Wonders. I intended to have a 12 " throat height anyway but I'm trying for a 24" width. I do a lot of plywood work and want to be able to rip to the center of a full sheet. Also I want to make the spine a lot heavier because I want to be able to slow the machine down to work metal as well as wood. My shop is so small and my resources such that I can only afford one band saw and it has to do about everything.

    @scubascott1098 7 років тому

    Here's an idea that may improve the safety of your saw as you cut logs, as well as maybe improve the straightness of the cuts. And it may be a fun project.. Build a winch and mount it to the wall that would pull the log through the saw, and all you have to do is guide it. Maybe use a cheap fan motor and some wood gears, and make it controllable with a foot switch.
