Good yarn, Ralph.

Yes.

BTW, some time ago -- I forget how long -- I asked advice about
brazing bandsaw blades.  After several failed experiments, I went with
my "ordinary" brazing rod, a jig and a slightly beveled joint,
i.e. just a little overlap.  And tehre it sat for months.

Yesterday I finally dragged the saw over to where a flatbelt would
reach from the lineshaft and fired it up.  Works like a charm.  Blade
didn't go !SPUNG!.  Home-made clutch arrangement needed one mod to
keep the belt on.

Horrible location, blocking the walk-way and no room for a long
workpiece but it's proof of concept.
