With the price of plywood, it's probably a toss up between this and buying a band saw. But this is a neat project to watch

As long as it includes an imperial vs metric pissing contest again, I’d watch it 🤷‍♂️

I love John's builds, and his unique approach to woodworking. A sheet of 4x8 baltic plywood is $150 dollars at Menards right now. :( This greatly saddens me. It reminds me of all the homemade tools my grandfather had because during the depression he said if you wanted something, you built it yourself. Thank you John Heisz.

Very catchy thumbnail. Having done some shop projects recently, I really appreciate the amount of thinking, planning, and work that you have put into this. I built john’s router lift and table last month, it is very amazing.

I always love when one of your vids comes across my feed.

Very excited to see this video on the feed today. This is giving me inspiration to get my arse in gear and finish some other projects that are clogging up my shop.

Great work as always John. SO complex but so simple.

Yes! A project video!

Dude. Just, you're the dude, man!

For a minute there, I felt like I was watching Norm Abram on the New Yankee Workshop. I couldn’t give higher praise. All you really need is a red plaid shirt and an acoustic old timey theme song. Of course, Norm took a little more time to show you how to build his weekly project. Still, truly excellent work!

Awesome! Been waiting for this one! Clever design and I've only seen a portion of it so far. Looking forward to the rest of the build. Great content as always! Thank you!

All in all a perfect demonstration of the KISS principle at work. Just carefully done methodical work.

The best inlay in crosscut saw I'v ever seen!! GL!!

Look like it’s going to be a beautiful machine there.

You are one of the finest filmers of pin nail shots on KZread.

Excellent! John I love all your shop made tools!

Crazy good stuff. I’m always amazed at what you are able to design and then execute. Looking forward to part two.

John, you are amazing

Wow, John, never would've thought to build your own, very inspiring!! Fist bumps from Canada, hope you're staying healthy!

Cool project John. Looking forward to seeing the next one

Great looking saw! Can't wait for part two!

Nice work on the bandsaw John! Thanks for sharing the build with us!💖👍😎JP

Fantastic walk through, commentary is 10/10

Looking good John

Best one yet John, looking forward to the next videos. Stewart, south west Australia.

Looks very nice John. Can't wait for the next video. Thanks for sharing.

Looking good. I really enjoy your tool builds.

Awesome looking bandsaw, I wish you were making plans, but I understand if you don't. I still plan to get other plans like the router table and lift. I highly recommend your Belt and Disc sander and your newer ultimate wooden clamps to anyone, both plans are excellent and turned out great. Thanks John.

Been waiting for this build for a long long time. As always - brilliant and simple.

I’ve never been to India, nor have I climbed up to a cave and consulted with a patient guru contemplating life in the entrance. However I have watched a ton of John Heisz videos and had a similar feeling I think I would have after flying to that far off land. What a master guru of wood he is.

Love this build! Great project, John!

Excellent video. Keeping the joinery simple when complex isn't needed impresses me more. Too many crafts people online engage in some kind of pissing contest. Hyper complex joinery is one of those things. It doesn't make the project better it just sounds impressive. As a wood turner I see a lot of turners sanding to 1200 grit or higher in places where it actually makes the quality go down. It can reduce the mechanical bond between coats and reduce absorption on the initial coat. The 1200 or 1600 grit sure sounds impressive though.

Great stuff as always John. Won’t ever build a bandsaw, but there’s a lot to learn here.

Great work John! 😁👍🏼

Great Job. Looking forward to the next video. 😀

Nice tips for using T nuts.

Nice build! Looks like a reasonable size, unlike the old one I managed to buy :) looking forward to part two!

extremely happy subscriber

Bad ass. Can’t wait to see the rest!

Wow. That's incredible. Can't wait for round two! It might have cost less to just buy one, (plywood is big bucks!) but would it have been as much fun? Heck no!

wooooow that looks like it runs smooooooth!

Just like a commenter below, I've been waiting on this one. Cool design. The wood spring is ingenious. That feature doesn't happen by accident. That's one that has been quite carefully planned and expertly designed. Speaking of plans, I know you said there will be none for this project. I'm kinda hoping that you change your mind about that. Can't wait to see the finished product.

Clever! I also wish you were going to make plans. I've been wanting to find a design I can scale down to a benchtop-sized version of a bandsaw, something like a 9", for all those fiddly little cuts. It seems like this design could do nicely for that purpose. Nice video, John!

Awesome John !! I've been wondering if you were coming back to this ( just noticed the vid answering that question from 5 days ago - sorry, been crazy myself) So glad to see this one. Looks like I have to go shopping now !!! Thanks !!

Looks great.

awesome build. I'm doing this!!!

You are amazing!

Looking at refurbishing a Craftman Bandsaw I pulled out of one of the neighbors trash piles as soon as I have some spare time! So I can save myself a lot of trouble here XD

Wow. You are a very clever man.

John, one day, I won't be surprised when your title says... " I need an atomic particle accelerator, so I built one from plywood.." and ya, I expect it to work, cuz that's just you. Awesome stuffs.

Looking good 👍

Ótimo trabalho 👏👏👏👏

Complete Jedi carpenter. Guy is so humble, always learn something new watching your vids. Thanks again.

Nice work 👏

Very nice!🎚🙏🇲🇾🇲🇾🇲🇾

Your an artist 🎨

very interesting build

Great video and good looking bandsaw. Always was doubting the size ( would it be big enough , you made a video about that I thought). Seeing it in the last seconds of this video compared to your size I guess it will be everything I need or somebody else in a small shop. Also it's probably reasonable easy to move around and that is more important ( with limited space) then people think. Looking forward to part 2.👍👍👍

The yoke of the frame will probably not be strong enough to handle larger size; making it larger will result in larger bending and misalignment. I've heard it said that even steel yokes that are extended with a taller bolted yoke (for resawing larger wood) are not as stiff as single-piece yokes. I am a bog fan of John's however there are SOME things that wood is not a very good material to build with. Bicycles. Wheels. Band saws might be borderline...

@@mriguy3202 Matthias Wandel has made some big wooden bandsaws and done comparative deflection tests on the wooden frames vs. commercial cast iron versions under load. His wooden frames are stiffer than the cast iron for a similar mass. This is mostly because the wooden frame is bulkier and is solid, whereas the cast iron frames are thinner and hollow.

Looking good but so are all your other builds love your work and channel I always get heaps form your content so thanks

great job

I still get chills looking at the tablesaw - so beautiful. One of the greatest shop-made tools of all time

Awesome 👍👊

Brilliant.

HI JOHN Please ! Please ! Please ! post for sale the Plans for your Bandsaw Build. As i'm now looking at this video it's got very nearly a 1/4 of a million Views. Surely there has to be some Mileage in putting up for sale the plans ! I understand that it's tiring work but i'm absolutely convinced that this Bandsaw Build is the Best & Simplest on the Tinterweb. Hopefully youll relent and Post the Plans For Sale. Best Regards

Nice, Job!

Looking nice sir

Yeah man. I knew a guy that made a collating machine for collating sheets of paper together. He made it all by hand and it was a hand crank no power needed. FYI I work in printing. It was a neat machine. Especially since the one I used were not hand made

There is already a king of DIY bandsaws. You two should compare your 12”ers.

Thank you John. Excited to see the finished saw. I went to the Maker's Mob link. Just an FYI... about half way down the page there is a picture on the right of a table. The words inside are green. It says "Begginer Lessons". Just wondering if it is suppose to say "Beginner". Always appreciate your videos and your humor. Thank you.

That's a heck of a lot of work squeezed into 11 minutes.

Fantastic work, John! Nicely done! 😃 I'm thinking about doing the same. If it can cut 12 inches, it's more than enough for me. Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

So great 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍🌹🌹

John: If I'm gonna build stuff, I'm going to need a shop with neat tools. Also John: Guess I'm going to build a shop with neat tools. Inspiring :O

Matthias might wonder if you’re going to paint this green.

Yes

Can you make a short about tips for using construction adhesive in a woodshop? I cringed when you wiped off the squeeze-out, that stuff is so messy and takes forever to wear off if you let it cure on your skin.

Really cool but with the price of plywood in North America today, it will be cheaper for me to buy a band saw!

John, i love your channel. thank you for what you share with us. One of your other videos, the Diresta plexiglass knife, brass knuckles, punch daggers etc are all PROHIBITED WEAPONS in Ontario. i know your canuck like me, not sure where you live it may be diff in other provinces. There are many weapons that are just fine in the USA, not so much in other countries.

Great work John. Please release the plans or CAD drawings for this build. Is metric too much to ask??? :P

an interesting bit of your editing is the rhythm of the nailing. is there a sound/visual cue you use to know when to cut each nail strike? do you intentionally give them each the same treatment or does it just sort of come out that way?

Mathiase is a great guy but so complicated

Looks fun , designed around a specific date length ?.

the plans for the band saw are not yet on your site, is it?

Looked at the thumbnail and thought, ”Come on Mathias, do You need another bandsaw?” After I clicked I noticed that it was John not Mathias. 😂 Is it getting green paint?

Classic project. What happened to the metal one your made?

Love the jigsaw work but, just curious why you didn’t use the cnc for those pieces. Is it due to selling plans for the people like me who don’t have a cnc? Looking forward to the rest of these build videos.

+ John Heisz I have salvaged 1.2 kW motor from vacuum cleaner and want to use it on a project. Is it duable? I heard that these motors are high speed and low in torque. Maybe will need some speed reductor for building belt sander..

Looks amazing I wish I could build one but I don’t think my skills as a woodworker are good enough

What I want is for the blades to be made of wood. 😂

Looking at the current price of plywood here a new one plated in gold is an option.

A totally beginners question, but at the beginning of the video you show how you check the blade is cutting straight, by checking both sides of the blade with a square angle. What I don't get is why you have to check both sides? How can the blade be square in one side an not the other? Heck if it was square on one side of the blade and not the other how would you adjust that?
