Solid wood parts for the enclosure.
The top pieces in this drawing are from 2x4 material (38 mm thick). One
4' (122 cm) piece of 2x4 material is sufficient for those parts.
The bottom row are pieces for the enclosure, ideally be hardwood, 16 mm to 18 mm thick
hardwood pieces of various thicknesses (but the green enclosure pieces above don't necessarily need
to be cut out of hardwood).

26" bandsaw 1:1 templates
These templates are in PDF format for printing 1:1 and using for cutting out parts.
Detailed printing instructions with over 400 photos of the construction
If these plans were a paper copy, I would not be able to include as much detail.I recommend reading the building instructions on a computer or tablet instead of printing all 80 pages.
