Simply Great Bandsaw Jigs

I made some wood blocks compatible with the shapes waffled-in underside of my cast iron table, the blocks have magnets drilled in so they are movable and stick under the cast table for easier clamping of jigs and table extensions.

Boy did I learn alot

How's it going Tom? I like how you call the nibble cut unconventional. I do that cut all the time. I might start a channel called "the unconventional woodworker" lol.

Very cool techniques! Thank you

Olá amigo, boas dicas, legal. Parabéns

Talking about other stuff

The book recommendation has changed the way my saw works! I’ve had it 10 years, from new, and changing the angle of the bottom wheel has transformed it. Thank you from the UK.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching your video on a cold wet and windy Sunday afternoon, here in the UK. You taught me things I didn't know I needed. You have very instructive teaching technique. From each of your jigs, I tried to imagine the outcome prior to the cut, but each time was suitably impressed. I appreciate also your sound reduction on the jigs when cutting. Thank you.

Here for bandsaw wisdom, but instead had to sit through your vain meanderings.
Enough.

Vielen vielen lieben Dank für dieses super Video !
Aus Deutschland!

please get to the bandsaw

I always split my wedges with a chisel on some scrap cutoffs. Most aren't perfectly straight grain, so they make a nice wedge when split. The ones that dont work out were scrap anyway.

Another very nice video. Instructive, substantive and useful. I particularly like the template guide. Thank you!

I liked the visual Dad joke 😂

Thank you

Thank you

Por fin aprendí a copiar piezas en madera.gracias

52 minute video for 7 minutes of information. Total waste of time. So much useless talking filler.

Regarding the versatility of band saws; I’m a luthier. I went 30 years without having a table saw! I did everything on my Delta 14” saw with a riser block. And it’s such a calm and quiet machine. A welcome change from using routers and jointers!

Now I have a table saw. But I still use my bandsaw more.

I have a copy of the Bandsaw Handbook I bought around 1990. Great book

still having a love/hate relationship with the double sided sticky tape? try masking tape on the template and on the workpiece. ca glue on one piece, activator spay on the other,then stick them together. will hold them secure enough to use a guided router bit but still seperates easy enough (so long as you dont put lots of CA glue on - only need a few drops!) no nasty residue left behind when you split the pieces and remove the tape. I use that method all the time no problem. 2nd jig to follow a curve line was great thank you.

WERE OTT OLDER ?

YOU ARE A CONFUSING GUY

Hey nice video thanks for posting. I was wondering about the green bandsaw that you have ? what model is that and is that a right handed bandsaw with the fence on the right hand side not like the other one in the video.

You talk to much instead of getting on with itt👎

Great video you should try Tuffsaw bandsaw blades

Excellent jigs! What's the general rule for how high to set the band saw guide? It seemed higher than necessary in the demonstration, but maybe it's better for the viewers.

Brilliant. Your videos are always excellent. The dialogue you have with your highly talented camera person is very entertaining.

Who wrote the "Bandsaw" book?

Thanks!

Is there somewhere i can get the plans for that Adirondack chair? Thanks!

Having just acquired a good bandsaw, this is an eye opening video to the possibilities. Thank you for a great vid.

dude

Good Video, very usefull and you have nice Humor! I did resaw my Pin Wood on the Band saw and it tooooook foooor ever! Than i realised, the Table Saw is much faster. Now i See you Video and i am Like... Yeah... Its true. Still thanks for your Video, so eine will See and use your advise. Wish you health 🎉

You burned five minutes, easily, making that jig. For a paltry $239 I was able to buy one from woodpeckers, saving said five minutes. 😂 Haven’t used it yet, but I’ve only had for a couple of years. 😂

Let’s call this jig the “wedgie” 😂.

Well, just brilliant.

great tips!!
very useful. thank you.

Just subbed. 40 years in the business and have never got into the band saw. I’ll be putting mine into use now. Thanks

It seems to me that your pivot point jig will not produce identical items. Your jig will produce concentric curves of the template shape. It means if the curvature is of radius say 100 cm, your jig will give you either 102 or 98 cm for 2 cm of width, depending on if template curve is convex or concave...

Wow. Thanks so much for demonstrating these jigs. The last two will be saving me a stack of time in the next few months. Subbed too!

Thanks, I learned a lot of handy tips from this vid and thanks for the info on the bandsaw book. I love the woodworking shows, there is a good one in the spring here in the ATL.

If you were near Wilson, NC, did you ever eat at the Beefmaster Inn? Little tiny place next to a gas station and a casket company. Best steak ever.

TIP: instead of using double stick tape, put a layer of blue painters tape on each piece of wood, then use a couple of drops or lines of super glue to stick them together. After the cut, you can pop them apart and peel off the tape, leaves no residue. I have used this to make veneer down to about .045" on the planer.

A little late but this came aross my feed this morning. Great information here and you earned another subscriber. Now off to install a new blade and guides on my 21" bandsaw.

You are correct about the book. Fortunate to get in the UK - also great video. Well presented and shows that to be useful jigs donot have to be complicated.

Thank you so much for these great tips/jig ideas!...just today seeing this video...I have about 60 special boxes too make with a bandsaw and router coping bits...this helps me get started in the best direction!!😂

Great tip! Thanks for sharing!

Love the video.

I use to go to a wood show in NJ with my father in the 1990's or 2000's

I made a tall pivot point by epoxying a spark plug socket to a 123 block.
