Great to hear Graeme, thanks for the feedback.. Most important thing is correct tension and guide side up. Enjoy you band sawing adventures. Cheers Steve
Thank you so much! I recently got myself an Axminster bandsaw and this series is massively helping me get to grips with the basic joints. Your explanations are all so clear and helpful for absolute beginners, much appreciated!
Also love to watch your video's with the morning coffee. I only started woodworking a few months ago and have only made a mallet and the units to convert my shed into a workshop :). You video's have taught me a great deal. It's just the putting it into practice and making it look as simple as you do that's my problem. :)
Ahhh if you had seen some on my early work you may not have been so impressed. lol It's as you say all practice. I'm still practicing and sometimes I get it right!. Cheers Steve
Thank you for a great series! The only one I could find that covered so many different joints and how to make them with the bandsaw. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks Deborah, Appreciate the feedback. Great to see that people are getting some value out of it. Enjoy your Bandsaw and if you get stuck drop me an email and i'll do my best to help out. Cheers Steve
YES!!! Found this with morning coffee(Sunday, no work, no hurry.) Great series(as always Steve.) One MAJOR HOW TO QUESTION, I'm sure most of us need answering; how to convince our wives we need to buy a ban saw(in my case a bigger ban saw, lol.) Been hot like Australia here in Normandy lately...cheers richard
Now how can I TOTALLY ERASE, DELETE, AND HIDE FOREVER(from wife,) what you just wrote! You know we share this computer Steve!!!!! And I thought we were mates lol....richard
Hi Trevor, Yes I had the 14/12 and loved it but the brake is a real plus. Especially as I have little fingers in the shed a lot of the time. Cheers Steve
Love the last comment "I didn't run away and do a different set". Was that because of my comment in a previous vid where I thought the shadow was a gap :)
Great series, I’m going to try my first dovetail with your video. Also might I say I have a king Canada 17” band saw, they tried to get me to go for the laguna model your using. I saved a couple bucks with the king but I really like the sound of yours running, and mine tends to jump time to time. I mean off the floor while saw jumps. It’s 400lbs and I don’t wear steel toes in my shop only at job sites. Just saying I like your saw
WOOOW Alexander, sounds like a runaway. Check the welds on the saw blade for lumps or the drive belt at the motor for unevenness or any bumps in the wheel rubbers. Hope you get the dovetails out alright with it jumping. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers Steve
Excellent series Steve, thank you. Had a pretty serious mishap with a bandsaw about twenty years ago which has left me sh*t scared of mine ever since- only use it when I really have to!
Yeah, things like that can make you very weary. Mine is the Spindle Moulder. Hope you still enjoy using other stuff though. Bring on the Hand Tools! Cheers Steve
Hi Steve, well don't use one if it get in the way...but sometimes the timber can wander and that's when it's good to have the feather boards in place. Appreciate your comment. Cheers Steve
An excellent series of videos. I recently got a bandsaw and this series has given me information needed to go beyond simple straight cuts. Thank You!

Easy mate, let her buy a new $10,000.00 sewing machine first. Worked for me. lol Cheers Steve

Love your work Steve I've got the 14 12 bandsaw no brake and every time I turn it off to change a setting I wished I had one cheers

Great series, enjoyed it all. Just one question: Were all these joints done with a hardbacked, rather than a flex back blade?
All joints were cut with same blade 10mm x 6tpi x 115" Bandsaw blade plain steel blade. Cheers Steve
Sorry if this has been asked before but what is the make and model of your bandsaw and would you recommend it?
Thanks for great tips
Not a problem Tom Laguna 14 BX and yes no hesitation in recommending it. My favorite feature on it is the micro switch foot brake. Cheers Steve

It's not difficult to hold the piece against the fence with your hand. The weatherboard just complicates needlessly.
