Bandsaw Magic Part 2
1:54 Bandsaw Blades
4:54 Patterns
9:06 Shapes
11:46 Tapers
14:19 Cabriole Leg
There was an abundance of questions and suggestions concerning our first "Bandsaw Magic" video, so in Part 2 we have answered those questions, reviewed the suggestions, and pushed this magic to a new level. Nick shows new mixed-wood pattern that yield spectacular results, reveals what happens when you cut two markedly different curves in adjoining sides, and explains how to modify the bandsaw magic technique to create tapered shapes. He then uses this modified magic to create a true cabriole leg -- with tapers in two directions! He also answers your most pressing question, "Which band saw blade works best?"
Nick's "Chart of Common Band Saw Blades" and their uses is available for FREE at the Workshop Companion Store at workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... . It covers blades of both metric and English-sizes. If you'd like to buy his book, "Using the Band Saw," find it here: workshopcompanionstore.com/pr... .

I’m sure someone else has noted this but it dawned on me that if I chamfered each of the long edges before making the two serpentine cuts, there would automatically be a hollow channel in the middle once assembled. Perfect for running wire through when making lamps. No need to drill.

Thanks for you kind words. It is so rare to find someone who actually reads my books. Years ago, in Bob Newhart's second show, "Newhart," he played an innkeeper/DIY author. In one episode, he bemoans, "People don't even read my books. They just refer to them." Been there, done that, paid the fine.

I would suggest attaching them to a skirt and then attaching the skirt to the table. Check out our video - bandsaw magic melting shelves. That might give you a good idea.
2 minutes in and I was hooked. Love your style and content, a perfect KZread combination. I am wondering about bandsaw speed settings for the cuts. Does it depend on wood type, blade width or both?
@WorkshopCompanion
2 жыл бұрын
It depends mostly on blade grind and stock thickness. I use a 1/4" (6 mm) skip-tooth blade for most cuts in stock over 1" (25 mm) thick.
