I’ve been kind of slacking with this bandsaw. I had to redo both wheels because the first time I did not glue them up nice and flat. I lost interest/got busy for a while, and put it off. I’m now determined to get it finished!!

I shot this quick video of it running after I remade the wheels. The wheels aren’t balanced yet, so there is some vibration – you can see the Nickel is standing for a while, but then falls down. I’m hoping once I balance the wheels, the vibration will be decreased by quite a bit.

As far as construction, all that is left is the trunions/table and the enclosure. Of course I’ll have to make a stand as well. Once it’s all constructed, I’ll probably take it apart and give it a good sanding/finishing.

Thanks for looking!
