Building a bandsaw on the cheap from mostly scrap wood

It's really wonderful to watch your progress and read your thoughts on this. Would having metric wheels cause a problem when buying blades or is there enough adjustment to the wheel to take up slack caused by a smaller wheel?

Could you mount one of the wheel axles on an adjustable base for fine tuning blade perpendicularity and as I am typing this I realized it is irrelevant because the table is adjustable. So even if your wheels are not perfectly sized and perpendicular that can be fixed. I guess the most important thing is that they lie on the same plane.

I can't wait to see it finished.

I vote that you take it to a body shop and have flames painted on it. And racing stripes. Candy apple red with metal flakes.
