Sweet! This is exactly what I've been looking for! Now I can finally turn that Redwood trunk I've had sitting around! :D

Heres a 48" Bandsaw for your giant oversized shop http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dl ... 1000416212
You'll need to build some stairs, or do it right and dig a pit in the floor for your saw to sit in.

I've used a big lathe in the past but not quite that big. Now the Band saw is FRICK'n COOL and a steal at $10k!
Not sure I want my hobby to turn into my job largely because I grow to hate my job....
