THIS should be the model on How To Make an Instructional Video. There's no two-minute intro, no stupid music, no begging to 'like' the vid, etc. It's completely direct, to the point, and clearly explained. BRAVO!
This is the kind of YT video I love - no fancy graphics - intro is literally on paper, but teaches you solid, valuable skills you can use right away. Cheers mate well done~
Good tutorial IMO. It never ceases to amaze me that there are a bunch of know it alls that just have to make snarky comments. I'm a relative beginner and can always learn from how someone else does an easy job. Thanks James. Keep 'em coming.
Perhaps those "snarky" "know-it-alls" know a bit more than you, or this guy. Come on, he's using a felt tip maker to mark his lines. Did he mention that bandsaw blades come in various sizes, including ones for really tight curves? Don't judge a tutorial, or others trying to offer advice, until you're skilled enough to legitimately do so.
@@dwightstewart7181 I'm guessing he used the marker so his lines showed up clearly on camera. Also the video title says tips, not the experts guide, These are all good tips for the beginner.
Thank you, James, for the great tips. I've had a scroll saw for years and just ordered a band saw. While waiting for it to arrive, I'm watching tutorial videos because I know there are some significant differences. This was very informative. Keep up the good work.
I've done some wood working. Built one set of kitchen cabinets. Never have used a band saw. Been watching various videos, may be elementary but helpful none the less. To all those complainers, you can always change the channel.
Great video, getting my first bandsaw tomorrow so this has helped me , i will use your techniques with my scoll saw as some angles get tricky ..thanks James :-)
just started using a band saw. Got a carter guide. Wise advise given here with respect to the guide height. Even with the carter guide I forget to do check the height.
Is that a 1/4-inch wide bandsaw blade? They show 3/16-inch wide and 1/8-inch wide bandsaw blades for sale on the Internet. What is the horsepower of your bandsaw? I ask because it cuts the board easily. I am trying to determine if there is an under-powered bandsaw HP. size. Good video. Thank you.__ __A bandsaw seems better than a scroll-saw. Scroll-saw blades begin at 1/4-inch online. A scroll-saw has a rough, vibrating, motion of a jigsaw. Your band-saw is smooth and vibration free.
Thank you so much for this helpful guide, I have learned something that definitely is going to help me because I have a scroll machine and I have not much practice on it lol. This is an awesome idea👍👍😊.
Thanks for the video! You may need to tune up your band saw. The bearing should not touch the blade when not cutting. Most likely you did that by this point.
Great video James, I recently purchased a used craftsman 10" bandsaw, what size blade would you recommend for a beginner? It can handle 1/8 to 1/2 " width blade.
Looks good. Any tips on preventing blade drift on a cheapo Harbor Freight special? Can't afford a better saw, I'm a rank amateur woodworker, so it's still better than rocking a jigsaw.
Depends on the wood you’re cutting through and how many relief cuts you’re willing to make. Thicker wood usually calls for bigger blades. Tighter turns usually call for smaller blades.
Great video , I have watched this 3 times this week alone. Cant get my bandsaw to cut curves in both directions, any ideas? I notice my saw has two speeds , of which it is factory set at the slower speed , would this make a difference
Hi, I bought a Walker Turner band saw, in excellent condition. :) The man I bought my bandsaw says my saw has spaced teeth and that as such it has to be put to the end of the wheel. Yes, He says, the teeth must be out, if you understand me ???
if he is saying what i think you're saying he's saying, he is wrong. the blade should NEVER overhang the wheel, it should be rouchly centred, if it has spaced teeth (widely spread?) the the teeth should be just over the ridge of the wheel
Liked and subbed. You appear to be the person who might be able to answer a question I have. I'm getting into wood carving. Besides the hand-tools, I've a 9" benchtop bandsaw. I need to be able to take a 2"x2"x12", and make two TRIANGULAR 12" lengths by cutting the length down the middle, through opposite corners. I've seen on YT folks using a table saw with its blade at an angle to make the necessary "V block" jig to cradle the 2"x2"x12" wood while being cut lengthwise by a bandsaw. However, I'n no access to a table saw. What are my options, please, to make the "V block" jig?

Excellent. Simple yet I learned a ton. I usually cut bowl blanks out & don’t practice enough on small items. 👍

what brand did you choose?
Thank you, this is great content. Having that practice block (with the 90°, tight curve, etc.) Is a great way to learn and teach new techniques.
You just taught me a lot in a couple of minutes and appreciate it. Thank you!
I just bought a new band saw and I watched your presentation, and was very impressed. Thanks.

Best tutorial on relief cuts I've seen so far! Thanks for sharing this!

When you cut the 3 sided hole... my mind was blown... im very new to all this and it was just so perfect
New to using a band saw and this was an excellent tutorial - THANK YOU!
Just got a bandsaw (2022)….Soaking up all this great info right now…TY😁
6:12 - for me, pulling the work piece back out usually results in the blade coming off the wheels.
Might just need to slow down and give it some wiggle wiggles but it sounds like you probably don’t have enough tension on your blade.
Greats tips! I didn't know the term for it
Relief cut's
Handy tips that I had forgot about since my high school woodshop days.
Excellent - just what I needed to know. Very informative. Many thanks!
I am going to buy a band saw this week and this really helped me knowing these tips. Thank you.

As a novice to band saws I learned a lot. Thanks
just started using a band saw. Got a carter guide.
Wise advise given here with respect to the guide height. Even with the carter guide I forget to do check the height.

Btw the gullet of the blade needs to be in the centre of the crowned wheel so the guides stop it from fishtailing and that will help your accuracy
Thanks for the tips, James. I will certainly use them.
Really helpful. Just acquired a bandsaw and this is just the guidance I need. Thanks!
That's really helpful - and very well presented!
Thank you so much for this helpful guide, I have learned something that definitely is going to help me because I have a scroll machine and I have not much practice on it lol. This is an awesome idea👍👍😊.
thanku this video has made me more confident
Great video. Thanks. PS What size blade is that and what causes the sparks?
If you put on a 1/8" blade you can cut like a scrow saw 6:50 6:55
Thank you for this quick tips, very useful!
Excellent demonstration!!👍🏽
Wow!! What fantastic tips. Boy, was I sure doing it wrong. Thanks heaps.
Really informative very good tip keep it up.
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you so much.
Brilliant!
Thank you!!
Thank you for sharing your video 👍
Thanks for the tips! I could hear you well. And the arrows did help in your description of the direction of the cuts - Al
Why are you not using a blade guard above the working part of the blade? Ouch!
Absolutely superb tutorial. Keep sharing.
Great video..this really helped me alot😊
Sujestão: pense como estivesse dirigindo e manobrando um veículo
Very nice. Thank you. BTW, I actually stepped back when I saw that bandsaw sparking. Too funny
Really appreciate this video as I'm considering purchasing my first band saw. Thanks.
Thanks for the video! You may need to tune up your band saw. The bearing should not touch the blade when not cutting. Most likely you did that by this point.
Great video. Would a scroll saw be better for this application?
Great video. Clear and well explained
Nice, clean and precise presentation! BTW what width band are you using?
Great video James, I recently purchased a used craftsman 10" bandsaw, what size blade would you recommend for a beginner? It can handle 1/8 to 1/2 " width blade.

Cut across the reliefs on the diagonal.
Clear excellent explanation. Thanks.
Thank you for posting the tips!
you teach better than my teacher
Awesome tips. But the thing which grabbed me was the captions in the beginning of the clip :D :D :D
Thanks for the cool techniques
What happens if the relief cuts or small off cuts fall into the blade insert thingo
Good info for a guy yet to unpack his ryobi ban saw.
Good explanation, thanks for your help.
Awesome tutorial
Great video . Question when doing these types of cuts is it better to use a skinny blade or do it not matter what size bade is being used thanks
Depends on the wood you’re cutting through and how many relief cuts you’re willing to make. Thicker wood usually calls for bigger blades. Tighter turns usually call for smaller blades.
Just got a new band-saw too. Still learning. Thanks for the helpful video.
Thanks very useful info on bandsaw trix greets from Sweden
Just got first b saw u help greatly!T.y.
Hi. Where can I get spare parts for this saw. That part with the bearing and those left and right things a ma gicks. What are they called?
Great video , I have watched this 3 times this week alone. Cant get my bandsaw to cut curves in both directions, any ideas? I notice my saw has two speeds , of which it is factory set at the slower speed , would this make a difference
Excellent. Thank you
Muito boa sua dicas. Obrigado amigo.
Nice video! That’s how it’s done in a machine shop cutting steel also.
Good demonstration
thank you for the tips.
1:56 Bandsaw Tip, make sure you tighten the guide.
Great vid for a learner ! Thanks. I'm presuming you're using a 1/4 inch blade ? Would be nice to know.
that was a very nice and informative video. good show, thank you.

Put a 45 champher on a couple of pieces and glue together. Can use a plane to hand cut the champher.
@@jerryquigg3497 Thank you.
Does it come with a blade?
thank you, I was so scared, now I know how to be cautious
Frett Not I
Useful info and well-made video thanks
Excellent
