    Video Tutorial Setting Up The Bandsaw for Resawing

    This is geared for Guitar makers but the same rules apply to resawing for any project. I picked up some great tips and I'm no Spring Chicken. He starts with a big ~20" saw and repeats everything on a Jet 14": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZviQKoKJ3yI&feature=player_embedded#!

    sawyer or resawing

    I have 2 short logs of ~48" dark cherry about 20" diameter. They're too short for typical sawmills but I'd like to find someone that can saw or resaw them for me. Then to be used for sentimental projects - off the family farm. Thanks for any help.

    some success with resawing

    After several rounds of trial and error learning, I'm starting to have some success resawing on my bandsaw. It certainly seems like setup is everything. I took advantage of the Hartville Tool sale and scored a Kreg Bandsaw Fence. It was not pre-drilled for my 16" Jet, but adding one slot took...

    Re-sawing by hand--frame saws?

    I just made a screen door out of 1x3s, and the most expensive bit was the small 1/2" trim I used to cover up the screen edges. I was starting to want to work with non-dimensional sizes anyway, so I've been doing some research in re-sawing. I don't have a bandsaw, and I don't really want such a...

    face-jointing and resawing

    I had this crazy-crooked chunk of white oak that was destined for the firewood pile, but it looked like it might have some interesting grain. So I got out my face-jointing sled for the planer and took a stab at it. Here's what I started with: The rest of the board was just as crooked. After a...

    Band Saw Assistance with Resawing

    I'm looking for someone in the Apex area that can help me out resawing a board that is 6 1/2" tall by 30" long. My 14" delta bandsaw can only go to 6 1/4" without the riser block, and a riser block kit is not in the budget currently.

    Help resawing 13" x 18" quilted maple

    Hi everyone, Usually, when my 10" resaw is too small, I go over to the university and they can help me out. But their max capacity is 12". So if you can cut this block and would be willing to help me out, I'd appreciate it. I'm not looking to make veneers, Just 3 or 4 slices...

    Resawing Long 4x6's

    O.K., I posted about some 4x6 Walnut and Cherry I grabbed off of Craigslist. I'm looking forward to getting some nice 4/4 boards and a couple of mantels out of it. Well, I've run into a 'challenge' while resawing it. I ran a 6' 8" piece thru the Rikon 10-325 last evening and it throughly whooped...

    Bandsaw resawing question

    I have a Rikon 10-325 Band saw that has a re-saw capacity of ~12-13". I bought an Olson 3/4" 3-4TPI to use for re-sawing and I am not that satisfied w/it. The cuts are straight and there is little or no drift but the finished cut is very rough. I am mostly trying to re-saw QSWO, figured maple...

    Resawing Help

    I'm needing the help of anyone in the Cary area. My bandsaw has been put out of commission and I'm looking for someone who would be kind enough to resaw a piece of big leaf maple burl for me. It's currently an inch thick and I need it cut to about a half inch. I'm off Fri, Sat and Sun if...

    BandSaws and Re-sawing

    With two threads currently active on bandsaw setup and blades, I'd like to offer the following. No brag, just fact. Over the last weekend, I spent a half hour tuning up my Rikon 10-345. It has a nearly new TimberWolf ½" 5TPI blade. I'm not sure what note the blade makes when plucked, as I...

    Logs for Resawing, bowls, who knows?

    We recently cleared around 500 acres of hardwoods from company land. I drove through the area today and looked at some of the logs, etc left behind. There is a great deal of red/white oak of varying diameters and a bunch of walnut. Plenty of poplar. I don't mean a few logs, I mean a WHOLE...

    A sled for resawing logs

    This was today's project. The people who came to my shop may have noticed the "spalted" logs I have outside my shop (some may be a little too spalted!!!). I built this sled for resawing some of those logs, to see what I can get out of them. Works like a charm! I built it based...
