OK how about everyones thought for sexy machine per category. I for a start really think any size YA snowflake is the sexiest bandsaw.

I like those machines, and some of that old stuff is truly wild and exotic to me. But when it comes down to sexy one has to examine ones own aesthetic, and mine is distinctly modern. I build modern furniture, and I like modern lines. I am not talking about current modern, nowadays machines are built boxy to save on costs, I am talking classic modern lines, clean and beautiful.

I present to you my sexy bandsaw of choice, the tannewitz.

For a period I was so enamored with the bandsaw form that I did a number of sculptures which were studies of bandsaws. Here are two.
