If I had a tig so I could make the welds small . but I figured a way so you don't see the screws cept for the deck bolts ;)

delta. yes but not with the wood blade I got a metal blade for it . I mostly use the chop saw and table saw and mill any more . with the band saw you got to use bees wax on the blade or something of the sort . All the cross members I milled clamped together for symmetry
