I have a 9 inch bandsaw with 1/3 hp motor and I cut a piece of hickory 72 inches long for backing. It worked well but it protested the whole way through. The guide bearing on the back was unbelievably hot but it worked :) my bandsaw is my dads that he hardly uses. I figure if I break it ill buy a nice 14 incher for him... well.... me...    :)
build em...break em...sigh....build em....

There are some small mountain lakes here that tend to collect fog in the early mornings.  Cruising softly across them in the canoe with a 5 weight flyrod flossing for trout is kinda sweet, too. 

OK Mr. Halverson...all this talk about foggy mountain fly-fishing is more than a guy can handle.  It's enough to almost make a guy pack up his family and head West  ;D
