    I encourage anyone who wants to propel their woodworking skills to do steves courses. I can't say it enough, I started a few years back with the weekend woodworker course, and then the workshop one. Tackling projects now on the powered up course. I've gained so much from this. With xmas around the corner, this the perfect gift. Thanks Steve

      Great idea. Will try a resaw on the tablesaw. Perhaps a scrolling blade in the jig saw or use a coping saw.

    This has nothing to do with this episode, but I just wanted to tell you that whenever I don’t know what to watch as I’m relaxing at the end of the day, I turn to WWMM. I always seem to get something out of it, even the repeats, but mostly it is just having a friendly, comforting voice to remind me that life is good that is so soothing.
    Thank you for what you do and how you do it. Happy holidays and a very happy new year to you and yours.

    Steve! It's so great to see you! I miss your content. I recently started to get back into woodworking after taking a break. Your videos seriously taught me so much. I think my first two or three projects were yours. I was looking around at all the youtubers there are now doing woodworking but you will always be the grand chief of all of us Mere Mortals. Seriously. Its starting to feel like 90% of woodworkers on here are using all of the expense to tools to make crazy projects. I miss WWMM it fills a niche we really need. Wood working for FUN!

    Thank you. I teach a high school automotive repair classes, but as we come to the holiday season. I think this would be a great project... with limited tools I have, think the cut the thickness in half would be the hard part... I guess it 1/2 board cut to 1/4in? If I have that done beforehand, I think this would be a great project to learn other trades tools as well as order of operations. Again thank you.
    (I have a small bandsaw and two scroll-saws, one belt/disc sander, and 30 students per class, FYI. So, any other tips would be great, thanks)

      It's an ideal project for the scroll saw. Thinner boards and if getting a nice fit is a problem you can use sandpaper stuck to scrap wood a file or rasp.

    Has anyone tried using the M18 bandsaw for delicate cuts like these?

    • @christopherdahle9985
      @christopherdahle9985 Год назад +1

      If you built a stand of some sort to hold your porta-band saw securely upright (see Adam Savage and BlondiHacks for examples) any of the portable band saws would work for little projects like this, although they are pretty slow for cutting wood. Porta-band saws don't like wood chips, or PVC chips either, so clean the saw well when you are done, and install a wood cutting blade if you can find one that fits. Something in the 8-12 TPI range.
      However, there are economically priced small bandsaws from Wen, Jet, Rikon and Grizzly that are ready to do these sorts of projects right out of the box. Good little machines for their price and, depending on why you have the Porta-band, worth not messing up your plumbing saw.

      What are you on about, my guy. He has the bear minimum himself (little more). If you're complaining about his equipment, then I suggest staying far away from every other woodworker on RUclips, lol. The trick is finding a way to make the project with what you do have not moaning about what you don't. You shouldn't degrade someone just for having more tools then the other guy. 90% of woodworkers have more tools then he showed today.
