bandsaw sled

[cd18524]

Anyone out there have a good plan for a bandsaw sled for cutting logs? It is time for me to make one and I am looking to steal some ideas. Thanks in advance.

this guy's got all kinds of fun looking jigs. you'll have to search around the page a little, but he's got a nice log cutting sled on there... second or third large paragraph down.

Here is another idea for a log sled.

There was a great sled for the band saw in the May 2007 issue of Wood Magazine on page 90. Go here http://woodstore.net/fiyoownwoand.htmlfor a 5 minute video on using the sled. You can also order the plans or try to find it at your library if you don't subscribe to the magazine.

Made one for a turner a while back. Can't find the pic. It was made using a pipe and those sliding clamps. Each end was supported by a bracket on the sled. It would hold up to a 6" diameter log about 15" long.
