Comments:

The number of bandsaws that cross my path which appear to be one-offs, shopmade, or otherwise orphans is astonishing (at least to me). Who knew there were once so many guys tinkering in their basements or garages, and presumably taking pattern to the local foundries? This is another one I am in the process of acquiring. I know very little about it except what you see in the photos. Some unusual features are the pipe-as-spine and associated crank which I presume is related to tensioning the blade. The castings are involved and unlike anything I've seen on other bandsaws. The upper blade guide appears to be from a Delta bandsaw but the grafting may be original to this machine. More info to come once I have taken possession of it.
