Lou, the bandsaws can be had for little money, and I assure you, they are excellent value! I've had mine for 3 years, if it broke down today I wouldn't hesitate to buy another. The main advantage is the ability to cut accurate angles, essential for the boom and swing setup.
I have plenty of power to push sideways, though it is quite hard on the arm. I actually drilled so I could add another ram on the other side if needed, buy I dont think it will be necessary.
If you would like pictures of any areas I'm quite happy to post them here for you. The best thing to do is just try lots of ideas. I think with a little playing there is room for improvement on every design.

Q, glad to hear the B is working out for you! I cant remember if you have a mower for it or not, but if you do I'll bet that ride on sits around for a very long time :D
Hopefully the sun will come out soon, looks like you are getting all the rain too.

Nic, maybe one day, I'd love to do this for a living!
