    You sure do some amazing work reconditioning this big old iron. Very impressive.
    Wish I had the space and shop for something like that.
    I can get any width or style blade from my saw sharpener.

    I do almost all variety of work with a 3/8" 3tpi.

    Think the wheels a 1 3/4" wide.

    Wow, what a wonderful machine. I'm glad you included that last photo with the kids as it truly puts the massive tool into perspective relative to size! Thanks for bringing that thing back to life!

    Or a sawmill. You could saw lumber out of tree trunks with it.

    The challenge with that is material handling...bandsaws like that were not designed with milling logs in mind.

    That fifth pic with the little ones is the best. Save that.

    Big saws are great, throat depth, height under guides, heavy enough to support large work, fast enough for production work and super smooth running.
