24" vertical Grob which left their plant in 1957.

Vintage?

Smart! Please do some updates here .

Like how long per blade? I started with a piece of barstock 8:30 am or so, and had both of them forged, rough ground, normalized, and hardened by 4:00 pm. I'll have probably 10-12 hours in both by the time I'm done doing handles, guard, and final grind

 

If you asking how long I've been forging blade shapes like that, for about 6 months, but I've only really focused on anything other than forge finished knives made for myself in the last 3. I just really got into the grinding stuff. I've been working around a forge since I was a kid, though a lot of it was just making and fixing stuff for our homestead, nothing fancy

 that explains everything. I've been here in iforgeiron for like half a year already. I'm hanging out around here to learn a lot of stuff. But I wasn't not around for awhile for some reasons. Post more projects here . Those blades are sharp.! :)

Those are superb blades. When did you start making those?

Wow! Outstanding.. :D

Why wouldn't it be done yet?

Because it looks like unfinished blade to me.

Impressive kind of work! Like that blade.

Nice work! It's not done yet,right?

You'll get A+ from me. Good job!

Like that!

Very creative! Like the design on its head .

Ellis Model 1600. I highly recommend it!

It has 1 HP, right?

I have a newly owned Trajan 8 x 12  bandsaw  . What made me amazed with this band saw is its using strong gear box and its coolant system. 

I have two - an old Kearney and Trecker vertical, 3-phase, 10 speeds - and a very old Craftsman horizontal.  Whoever made the Craftsman for Sears did a great job, it's still cutting straight after more than 40 years.

Whoa , That sounds great. What's the model of your Craftsman?

I usually purchase my blades on sawblade.com , pretty good deals and nice blades.

disclaimer. 

I have a 7x12 Wilton, I've been happy with it. I bought the saw scratch and dent from a dealer in Nashville for a good price. They weld the saw blades for me when I need new ones but I've had great success silver soldering ones that have broken. I've considered buying a roll or spool(whatever they're called) and just doing it myself.

Cool one . When did you buy your 14" Wilton Tradesman?

Black bull.

Don't buy one, mine just broke. :(

Nice project!

Great one , Very nice and neat!

Here's a pic with the glue drying. Went with a damascus oval guard, fileworked my mark on both side. Soonafter it's finished I'll be handing it over to the photographer for better pictures.

Try checking this site. I just found this http://utilitybandsaw.com/

When did you start making it ? Yes please post some pics :)

How did you make it? That is a very great piece.!

I don't know what you exactly looking for a band saw. There are lots of band saw nowadays and some works great ,some are not . See this site , . Hope this will help you.
