I'm in Enumclaw Washington and I have a 10-horsepower Honda motor it came off of a generator it's a pull start but it runs great and I also have a Miller dialogue 250 older arc welder plenty of rods and I'm trying to build a bandsaw mill with this arc welder and I'm not sure where to start really I'm in Enumclaw and we have a steel Warehouse in town here and I'm thinking on going there and trying to find some I-beam scraps for the frame and I'm sure welding up the frame won't be too hard but it's the guides that I'm curious about do I just use big bearings or soft blocks I have some bigger SKF sealed race bearings I think those would do all right and I also have some car tires and maybe even possibly an axle that I might be able to use as well but I might just use my aluminum frame honda three-wheeler go-kart and just use that as the frame and motor because it already has an axles and tires on it and I'm sure it would do just fine operating a band saw blade. I know this sounds a little crazy but i have built perpetual energy motors and gold dredges but ive never built anything like this before ive watched one video on you tube but ill have to watch more
