Bandsaw Resaw - Woodworking Talk

I was wondering if anyone has thought of taking a bandsaw and building a platform to run it on it's side Horizonal and resawing small short logs that way? In my mind there is a way to do it but I fugured that someone has tried it already.,am I right?? I'm not talking about running long logs through it but something in the neighborhood of 14-16 inch logs.I made a jig today for vertical operation but I think horizonal would be so much better.Any input or pics would be great.

Thanks, Donny

Are you talking about having the blade run horizontally? So you would in theory make a miniature milling band saw?
