I finished assembling the bandsaw today and ran into an issue that I could only laugh out loud at, just to funny.
I couldn’t wait for my friend to show up this morning to help, so I lifted the bandsaw onto the base cabinet and mobile base, then stood back to view my new toy. Hey wait a minute, that looks tall, wait…uhmmm, that looks very tall….is it going to fit thru the garage doors!!?? DOH nooooooo!!!! My heart sank, I quickly grabbed the tape measure (hmmmm why didn...

I received a couple of deliveries today as well as picked up a good deal from a seller on Craig’s List.
The first delivery was from LV, a new woodworking knife (I lost my last one), their new mini shoulder plane and their new pocket marking guage. I am going to post reivews for two out of the three items. I quickly went to the shop to use the new tools while I waited for my next two deliveries.
A couple hours later the frieght truck arrives with my new Rikon Bandsaw, oh happy da...

I’VE BEEN RESAWING FOR SOME TIME NOW WITHIN THE LIMITS OF MY SAW. I HAVE A JET 14” BANDSAW. I WAS ORIGINALLY LIMITED TO ITS STANDARD HEIGHT MEANING I COULD ONLY RESAW A BOARD WHICH WAS AT MAX SIX INCHES HIGH. THIS WAS VERY TIME CONSUMING WHEN TRYING TO GET A BOARD SAY 15” WIDE BUT 1/2” THICK. MOST OF THE STOCK I USE IS AT LEAST 1” THICK. I WAS TIRED OF WASTING THE OTHER 1/2” OF WOOD BY PLANING IT OFF TO GET THE THICKNESS I WANTED. I COULD RESAW IT THINN...

So in my last blog I noted that I have added a bandsaw to my arsenal of tools. It was a great deal and needed a new blade and some quick cleaning up. Well I went and got a blade yesterday and cleaned up the saw and installed the new blade today. Then I just played around a bit. Here are the two projects I did in order to play around some and get familiar with the tool. I decided I would just post them here and not as an actual project, maybe I’ll have something by the end of the weekend...

This is in addition to the burl blog I put on a week ago. Thank you for all the reads.This is to the best of my knowledge and I am still learning.I have found crazy figure in tree crotches. A tree crotch is where two branches come together. It is usually the piece that fire wood people don’t want because it doesn’t slit. That is because the crotch is the hardest part of the tree and the grain in going in different directions. It’s where you get what is called “feather”. “Haring bone, r...

Hey everyone,
I was asked by a few of you from my blog “How to find legal burls” “once I get them how do I cut the burls”?
Well I just made a short vidio on how I cut to the burl in the context of a bowl or hollow form blank.
Please coment and add if I don’t cover it well. If you not want to go thru the hassle of finding and cutting your own you can alway buy from me. LOLThanksGreg
Thanks Todd on the tip for getting the video on this post.

The guy called me about 8:30 and he was at a restaurant about 10 minutes away. I told him I would meet him there and pick up the saw.
Let’s get it home.
It’s here.
I’d like to know…
Sounds like my old Plymouth trying to start.
That blade is rubbing against SOMETHING
