Blade Guides Prototype - Big Old Bandsaw Pt. 2

A few of month ago I cleaned and painted an old big-ish cast iron bandsaw. Now I make a quick prototype for the blade guides I had in mind for this saw. I used stuff I had lying around, I only ordered the bearings. These blade guides seem to work just fine and are easy to adjust (almost toolless)! Next up is the enclosure and motor.
Thanks for watching!

Passando para fortalecer ficarei agradecido pela atenção e força.

Wow! I love your vids, it makes me appreciate people who make the musical instruments!
I love my own guitar a lot and make music vids with it only but I wish I could make guitars too!

Will it be powered by a flat belt ? Cause it seems like that. Flat belts are very efficient but can be tricky to get to track

It used to be powered with a flat belt but now I use a v-belt for this bandsaw. Thanks for watching

Need to add some light to your video

Hi from England
It'll be due some guards next then...?
A bit on Kirchner :
The UK operations of Kirchner were bought by Alfred Cooksley, Tabernacle St. London....i think just prior to WW1...
Cooksley were a machine tool sales outfit...but also offering refurbs and repair/alterations...
They also listed themselves as "millwrights"...
Did you copy an existing design for the blade guides you've made here...?
Or is it your own...?
Please please don't use this without a guard will you Robin...👍😉

Hi Glenn,
I made the guide semi improvised out of stuff I had lying around. I did look at some other videos and pictures of guides for inspiration. They work just fine as they are, but I would like to make them out of nice materials some day.
I also did this a few months ago and I just now got around to make the video. I also made the enclosure/guard a while ago (before I put the motor on), this will be one of the next videos.
So in short the saw is pretty much finished by now and I have used it quite a bit already! I'm just behind on the video making.
Thanks for watching!
