Would (wood) like to see some ideas for circle cutting jigs for the 14" bandsaw. I know that I can buy one, but what's the fun in that?

FWW has a couple good ones.
You can see some in action on the 'Tube as well.

The Williams and Hussey site has a good one detailed in the owners manuals somewhere on there info page. The basics involve a table to hold the size of circles you are making, a way to advance the work into the blade, a pin that can be spaced for different radii.

Here is mine that I made for my little 14" Jet. I have added a leg on it that hinges out and can be adjusted to support the table.
I got the rail and the little stop from Eagle America.

If I was making it again, I would make it a little smaller.

Thanks all. Most examples shown did not account for a fence and rails, so I just built one that attaches to the fence with clamps, has different pin positions, and can be adjusted for smaller increments by moving the fence.
