This Is The Bandsaw I Want For My Birthday

http://www.hearnehardwoods.com/GeneralInfo/Sawmill.html

I've got a birthday coming up, and I think it's only fair that you
cheapskates chip in and buy me one of these.

No pretty wood in the pics, though.

Tell you what, we'll kick in for the mill, *you've* got to furnish the
blade. When you get the blade in house, give us a ring, we'll work the saw
then. :-)

Crap. I already knew that if I just asked for it that wouldn't
work. So, I figured I might be able to shame you guys into doing the
decent thing. Should have figured that wouldn't work either. I'd
planned on cornering the DIY pointy stick kit market, but you've all
shattered that dream. Which means I've got to cancel the order for
those six whole redwood trees, fast. The price on the trees isn't so
bad, but the shipping to NC is a bitch.

I was going to do it right up until where you called me a cheapskate. Now I
hope you get a lump of coal in your stocking.

I'm a little short on cash, but I'll send you some beer cans you can cash in
for 5¢ apiece. Keep an eye out for that beg green trash bag full of them
when the UPS man drops them on the doorstep.

That's not a bandsaw, that's a band_mill_.

Used ones come up for sale every now-and-again. Do a Google
search on "bandmill", you'll probably find one. Heck, you
might even find plans to make your own.

Are you planning on resawing a pickup truck or something?

Wonder how big a pointy stick you could make with that - not to mention push
sticks.

Being a foreigner and all, I didn't really know the true meaning of cheapskate.
(I thought it was some kinda hockey term, I did).....but now that I know...

We did take up a collection. All of us were eager to contribute but
seeing that we're all cheapskates no one would spring for the postage to
send the check.

What I don't understand is they say they've been accumulating logs up to 7
feet in diameter, and they they went out and bought a 67" saw. That seems
like the kind of dumb thing I would do. What'd they do, get to the bandsaw
store and then they couldn't find the scrap of paper they wrote the numbers
down on so they guessed?

I'd buy it for you, but since you'd never get it in the door to your
workshop, I'm not going to spend money on something that's just going to get
rusty sitting out in the rain.
