The next piece of the bandsaw puzzle is milling the steel motor mount for the reclaimed 2hp mulcher motor. We modified this motor's shaft in a previous video, and made a pulley to go with it.

Thanks to folks that have helped me move, thanks viewers, thanks people that send gifts, and viewers, subscribers, patreons. I feel very lucky! See you all soon.
