- Resawing Cherry logs on the bandsaw. A dead Cherry tree at the neighbour"s was cut down and I received some of the logs. I'll resaw them, dry them, store them, and use them in future projects.
Really like the home made jigs you used. I've had my new band saw for three days. While at the dump today dumping yard waste I found a great fir stump, which I brought home to practice on. Fun!
Which brand of bandsaw did you end up buying/? I also have a lot of fun finding logs to cut. The jig makes easy work for cutting the logs. Thanks for watching.
I bought the Laguna 14/12 (14"). The price point was good with good quality engineering for a beginner. I've got it set up just right (I think) and will be using it on my work bench project.
Whats a nice bandsaw and well made. I'm sure its a joy to use.

thanks

Thanks for watching, James
@Isaiah Bjorn This is totally irrelevant to my post and no, I am not interested in your activities at all.
Pete, You're awesome! Keep it up and thanks!
Thanks .and Thanks for watching.
Do you scan the logs for imbeded metal?
Good video, thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching. Phil
Pete, Wished you would do a video on how to build the short and long jigs that you made for cutting logs on your band saw. Is there one out there.
There's a number of videos on u tube for these sleds. If you want some measurements I can give you those. Hope this helps.
Thanks for sharing your jig …. I really struggle to get any straight edge when I resaw logs , that appears to eliminate "user error"
InstaBlaster...
thank you.
Your welcome.
Hi Pete I’m from Hamilton , I noticed your recycling bin said Hamilton. I’m looking for a band saw to cut logs. I was hoping you could recommend one for a novice wood working guy?
Look on kijiji. You can find the older cast iron ones in 14 inch for decent prices. You can get riser blocks for them as well.
Is it called resawing if it is the first time a tree has been cut up?
Here's an article on re sawing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resaw
Hey Pete. Just found your video on sawing short logs on your band saw. I have a bunch of hardwood from 5 inches thru 15 inches in diameter and 3 feet to 5 feet long that I was wanting to slab up into 3/4" boards for a hardwood floor. Do you think it is possible to do this on a band saw like yours. I have no saw mills anywhere in my area so trying to figure this project out.
I can saw up 4' long logs on my sled setup. It took me a few tries to make a table and a sled that would handle the 4' 12' round logs but it works great. Need the right blade 1" with 3tpi makes sawing a whole lot easier. Here is the link.

What type of blade on your saw? I've tried slicing up logs but it always seems to bind.
try 3 teeth per inch , 3/4 inch blades as long as you have 1.5 hp or more they work well
@3:15 is that a loaf of bread you are resawing...looks like a giant bread loaf on it's side
ooooo shes under a load while cuttin. what hp is the motor.
Mine has a 2 HP motor. Thanks for watching.
Pete, how do you counter blade drift?
I find a sharp 3-4 teeth per inch blade works good. Adjust your tracking to move the teeth of your blade just a little bit closer to the crown of the top bandsaw wheel. Don't force your wood into the blade, let the blade do the cutting. If the blade gets too warm you loose the temper in the blade.
i was doing just this today, but my blade was kinda cutting through the wood in an arc, what gives. couldnt keep it going straight.
check blade, it needs to be in good shape and sharp, check tension. I run the gullet of the blade near the crown of the upper band saw wheel, which helps with drift.
And after setting everything up properly, you still might need to set up your fence to compensate for drift.
Check out the channel of "The Wood Whisperer". He has a great bandsaw setup video
learned something
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching
What bandsaw do you have there.
17' General International . Thanks for watching.
These sleds are a waste of time and impractical. Just use a draw knife and a hand plane to get a flat surface to start from. And you won't need to drill holes in your log either.
Robert Tomkinson without using the miter slide how do you propose to get a straight cut? I'd much rather know my slabs are the same thickness throughout than having to waste so much wood in the planer.
@@tomlyon5058. Use the fence. That's what it's for.
Robert Tomkinson fences don't work. If there is any stress within the wood it will begin to separate or spread open after the cut. If you're using a fence that will push against the fence and cause blade drift. With a sled the wood will still separate but it cannot push against the blade from the sled side so no blade drift.
it would seem to me that you need to remove some extra stuff out of your shop...
+mtabernig I have to agree with you. I just have too much stuff. Needs another clean out.
Can't watch it for the music. Better no sound at all for me.
Ok, Thanks for watching.
is it me or can no one else find a how to to build one of these jigs or sleds
Maybe I should do a video on the sled.
M Hall I think the sled is straight forward it's just having right size for your bandsaw
Cutting a log into boards is not resawing. Cutting a board that was first cut from a log is resawing.
