Just cut the saw blade and re weld it... duhh ;D
Pretty common place in the old school. Lots of old band saws had a blade cutter/welder right on it for just that reason
 
Doesn't make a whole lotta sense for production. They make little bitty scroll saws if that's the case.

Nope not really. Dad's old band saw in his tool and die shop has a cutter and welder on it. It was grandpa's when he had ran the shop. Back then it was really the only way to do a piece with a large hole in it or a slit like the one on your top clamp pic

The process is designed so you cab buy a spool of blade and fix/make new blades for far cheaper than buying them made up, I used to go get them from the school rather than the hardware made from broken blades in shop class... my old shop teach was cool that way.

I did teach a group of kids how to tram a head, square a vice, pick up a hole location with a coaxial indicator and use a boring head on a mill. Weird how my demonstration piece will just so happen to fit a 1973 ironhead..

Well anyhow lol

Got the triple mockup done. Suprized evening actually slid together. Still more machining to do, but the stance is much better in my opinion.

Your bikes coming along nicely Justin ;)
