I went looking for plans to build a simple rolling base for my bandsaw, as I’m getting tired of dragging it across the floor. I ran across this site, which is just great. He has pictures of a simple bandsaw base, and I think even an amateur wood hacker like me can figure out how to put it together.

But that’s not the coolest part about this site. This guy has built a working bandsaw completely from wood (except for the motor and blade). There are a few other machines, too. For example, a home-built thickness sander that I think I need to build.

I just love the simplicity of this guy’s designs. His work bench and table are easy enough that I can build them with the few tools I have in my shop, and should be quite effective. Granted, it’s not home decor furniture, but that’s just fine.

I like this guy’s approach. He strives for simplicity, and as a result his designs are quite approachable for the amateur. Highly recommended.
