Shannon’s speech on loose tendons is hands down the dirtiest minute of content I’ve heard in quite some time.
Gentlemen,
I’ve asked around and haven’t been able to get an answer. Are bandsaws impacted by temperature? I recently had a ResawKing blade snap on me while i was sawing. My bandsaw is in my unheated garage, in a climate similar to where Matt lives.
Thanks.
That Brikawood stuff is pretty cool as an idea. I wonder how well that kind of construction would handle an earthquake. About fifteen years ago we had the Nisqually quake, which threw some houses up and over, shifting them off their foundation.
Really guys, you missed out on one of the best show titles ever:”Erotic Wood” 😉
In many ways, “Artisanal” translates to “Bunghole-Art”. Just saying.
One of the best track saw DIYs out there: https://youtu.be/7bxTcwfGE6c
When I built the cabinet for my double oven I used a
spare toe kick, which was also for the cabinet project, for my guide…worked great and saved me the $600 on the price of a cheap track saw.
