Thought this was interesting, I'd never heard of the Gil Bilt Kits.

A Google search turned up some info on the company.
Interesting approach to outfitting yourself with an 18" band saw.

I built the 12" band saw - used it for years. It wasn't the best, but it
worked.
Then I was working on the table that it was mounted on and it got knocked
down and broke the saw table loose from the hinges.
Removed all the hardware and sold it (and plans) on ebay...
I hope the guy that bought it had fun making a "new" bandsaw.
