Homebuilt bench band saw made from salvaged parts
A man at Hurstville constructed a bench band saw from NSW service dump parts. The frame used a hydraulic cylinder end plate and a magneto bracket, with a duralumin table and aircraft parts repurposed for the blade guide and wheel axles. Total cost was 3/6 for the blade, far below city store prices of about £25.
