          I know the table, compound miter, and radial arm saws have seen a lot of use since the birth of the space. Would anyone like to add a band saw to the mid-south makers arsenal of wood working tools? For those who don't know what a band saw is, it essential does what a jig saw can do, but on a bigger scale. It's main use is to cut free hand curves in wood, but has plenty of other uses.

          I have haggled a guy down to 150 bucks for a 12" craftsman band saw. This will only cut wood. Usually 12" band saws will run well over 400 new.

          I have been watching way too much New Yankee Workshop and have Spring plans on making a couple of Adirondack chairs (outdoor lounge chairs) with the band saw. Would anyone have an interest in assembling Adirondack chairs for class?

          Let me know your guys opinions! Or if you would like to donate to the cause!

          Thanks,
