How To Make Band Saw Wheels from Plywood

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The wheels are made from two layers of 1/2" Baltic birch plywood, plus hubs for the lower drive shaft and upper bearings. Plywood has durability and strength but the varying density makes it more difficult to balance. A better choice would be particle board, but I didn't have any on hand and I didn't want to buy a full sheet just for this.
I sized the wheels so that when the tires are put on the total diameter will be 12"

    I know you stated on your other channel that you were still undecided about selling the plans for this on your website. I really hope you eventually do. As much as I like the Wandel bandsaw, the required equipment needed to build it is a bit more than many have. I like that yours can be built by someone who has a very basic setup. It is almost like a "step 2" project, after a table saw, that will launch you into building all of the other projects. P.S. I love the aesthetic you've created lately. The tools are as beautiful as they are functional.

    Very good job Mr. Heisz. Today it is not profitable to build one of those saws, unless you have remnants from another project. Only, (to start with something), the price of wood is through the roof. In any case, his work method is highly professional and detailed. I like it a lot.

    Most of the material from that hole will have compressed into the wood. A tiny portion would have come out. You’re right, but I reckon the impact would’ve been within his margin of error for balancing it anyway.

    Its gonna be sweet John. Unrelated question. You use a lot of PL, how do you keep the tube from drying out after you open it? I often wish they made it in smaller squeeze tubes because I end up with a lot of half tubes that dry out before I can use.it again. Thanks for the video.

    I don't know how John does it, but I'll tell you how I do it. I get a big drywall screw, the coarsest I can find, and push it into the end of the tube. Then I take several layers of plastic bag and put that over the screw and the cut end of the tube, and wrap that all well with electrical tape, to make the most airtight seal possible. But undoubtably, when reopening it, there will have been some air leakage and there is a small plug of dried PL at the end, so I grab the drywall screw with a pair of vise-grips and just yank it out. Most of the time that will pull out the entire plug, but if not, I saw the head off another long coarse drywall screw, chuck it up in my drill, and use that as a sort of spinning reamer to pull the remaining chunks of dried glue out of the passageway. 99% of the time, that solves it.

    @@jimthesoundman8641 thanks Jim. I've tried the screw method before with tape but don't know if I used plastic with it. Normally I just let it dry into a plug then just cut the tip lower. Its not ideal because you get a gigantic opening. It also sometimes dries the whole thing out depending on how much is left. I've also tried those store bought plugs... they don't work. We can put a man on the moon but can't make a resealable caulking tube : ) Thanks for the idea
