If you like old tools
« on: June 19, 2011, 07:15:30 AM »
If you like old tools then you have to look at this eBay listing. It is a mostly all wooden band saw. Wood frame, saw blade pulleys and all. What an interesting piece that should find a good clean dry home.

Very nice
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Popular Mechanics had a similar "all" wooden band saw, it was in their 40/60 power tools you can make books of the 1940 sand 60s. But on checking it is much smaller (12"wheels). Maybe someone just up scaled their idea its probaly a oneoff, totally unique! I also hope someone restores it.
