Building a homemade bandsaw mill

My father and I dicided to built a bandsaw mill to cut the log, what I got from my neighbour. And I hope, it will gainful in the further on : )

Pepe:I just noticed the saw is cutting at the slack side of the band blade...should it be cutting at the tight side where the tension would prevent blade drift somewhat

Mallbrook:Nice to see some ingenuity. I really feel the should be some kind of guard on as much of the blade band as possible, if the blade were to rupture or come of the rollers it could easily take off a limb.
