You need some wintergreen oil to soften up those tires. There's a few other substances too, but their names escape me atm. I knew some guys that used...

Nice job Joe. Bandsaws are often thought of as low precision tools, and technically they are, but they can be repeatable, and if you jig/fixture them...

My little hobart 140 would have been a great machine for sheet metal body work. It was pretty much a pain for everything else though. My Lincoln 180c...
