Hey autocthon!Did not get you wrong, not at all! One for the reasons for posting something online is to hear peoples' opinion about it, thoughts of improvement etc. And yours my friend, it's very nicely put! Thanks! Critisism can be a constructive little thing if you ask me!Fact is that, never having a bandsaw before, I thought I should start simple and find my way on what would be a usefull improvement or not. As an example, I've already found out that I maybe exagurated on the resaw capacity (which I wrote this way to keep it simple, and keep people reading this instructable!) as I would much apreciate a bigger "throat" distance..Maybe next time! As for the friction blocks, I went that way cause they are significantly quieter, from what I hear. At the moment it does not matter…

As for the friction blocks, I went that way cause they are significantly quieter, from what I hear. At the moment it does not matter too much, as running it with a drill is already loud enough, but I'll get this little thing a proper motor one of these days!Quick release and tracking adjustment, you are right! It's nowhere near convenient, and it takes some time to set it right, but when you do, it's running good! And that's good enough for me, for now..As for the throat distance instead of the wheel diameter, I just didn't know that! Thanks for pointing out.I'm glad you like my work, and it means a lot hearing that from someone with decades on the sawdust-making trade. And I'll definitely consider your points made when I make the next one/bigger one!Cheers

Thanks Sam! Means a lot to hear from you!
