14" bandsaw / sawmill build

Further explorations in bandsaw design

This bandsaw is only a 14" bandsaw (35 cm wheels). I don't actually need a fourth bandsaw (still haven't sold my cast iron bandsaw), but I wanted to experiment some more with bandsaw building. Although this machine is mostly be based on my previous bandsaw design, I intend to push the boundaries a little to see what I can get away with in terms of simplifications, materials, and experiments. If some of my experiments don't work, I can always rebuild those parts.
