So nice.. I want to build a whole kitchen cabinet set like this .. im confident in the metal frame .. never worked with would so that will be a new learn
Came together nicely John. I'm with you on the band saw. David Piccuto is the self-proclaimed band saw master and he says a simple delta style BS should re-saw with no issue if you use a 4 tooth per inch blade... I need to revisit this to see how well it works. All I ever get is burning wood when I go over 2" thick.
Yea its a shame because i would love to be able to get mine up and running more efficicently. I saw a lot of old wood with nails and stuff, so it is awful for that as well. To me it feels like i never get enough tension on the blade, and the motor isnt powerful enough. But what the hell do i know.
I've watched a few more bandsaw adjustment vids in the last couple weeks. It sounds like fewer teeth helps eliminate saw dust from inside the cuts when resawing deep boards. Too many teeth cause drift other issues because the kerf fills up. Kinda wild to think about it, but it makes sense. Also it sounds like more tension isn't the answer (I'm with you though... Always feels a bit loose.)
Cool project - turned out really nice. I've been thinking about getting a bandsaw for the purpose of resawing, didn't realize it was such a pain to setup...guess I better do a bit more research before I purchase...
For a Delta or Jet 14-inch band saw, you need a 1/2-inch wide, variable pitch resaw blade. Either a Wood Slicer or Starrett skiptooth blade. Put Cool Blocks graphite blade guides in, and use an Iturra spring to provide enough tension to stabilize the tension adjuster with the 1/2-inch blade. Then you either need to make a resaw fence or buy one. I prefer to thickness plane the wood first to get one flat side, and then run that side against a tall resaw fence.
Awesome job, looks great! Did you leave the grinding marks in all the corners of the metal frame? If not how did you/would you finish that, paint the whole frame? Thanks!
John, I'm getting ready to retire from my second career as a welder/fabricator and I've worked with wood all of my life. over the past 40 years of work I've learned many trade well. I'm only 52 and want to build a business mashing all of my experience into a bitchin' fab shop. Big Questions- did you make a lot of cool stuff and then show it on social media? or how did you get started doing what you do? I really like your channel and I'm going to look and get involved in all of your channels, FB, Instagram, website... the things you do are very Similar to what my ideas were before I found UA-cam ( I'm behind times by a few years). hope to hear from ya! thanks Brady SURGE Custom Welding & Fabrication
Having a whole kitchen cabinet in this theme would look soo awesome. Love the industrial look
Unbelievable dude! Your tenacity to push yourself in these builds is inspiring. Just...wow

That brush sander is awesome!
Walking around like a jag off. Lol. Spoken like a true Pittsburgher. Love the vids man. Beautiful work.
Glad you dig it Joe!
Awesome job.
Looks great. Nice work with the reclaimed wood.

The Woodwhisperer here on youtube as alot of "set-up" videos that easily shows how to properly set up tools like the tablesaw :)
Awesome work, loved your video.

ya or i could just be an idiot haha
Narration is cool.
Looks great! that wire sander is very interesting! the finish is maybe too shiny for my taste but who cares, I'm not the owner :P cool build man!
Actually a semi gloss, not very shiny at all
Looks awesome. Will you be getting any photos of it installed?
Yea, its for a private project. We have to wait for the client to release it in the space before I can post photos.
I had a jet bandsaw that I tried to set up to resaw forever. I tried all the tricks, got frustrated and sold it. lol
it works great for everything else but resawing

I did leave them, wanted that specific look. I also would powdercoat or paint it if i didnt

Use social as a tool, dont rely on it. Check out my website JOHNMALECKI,com I have a blog series talking about how i use social and how i got started!
i was cringing watching you with your hands so close to the blade whilst it was turning but other than that cool project dude!
Yeah I was too, pretty close a couple times there
👍👍
Question: did you put anything on the steel frame to prevent rusting?
Clear Coat enamel
🌹👍🏻
what type of poly do you use? pure shield? i didnt see it in your description so i was hoping you could link me or let me know where you get it.

here is a link!
Similar tool to the Makita Brush Sander. Eastwood Contour SCT for $199 www.eastwood.com/eastwood-contour-sct?
How did you treat the metal frame?
clear satin enamel
John Malecki cool, I'm looking into my first metal framed workbench, busy finding resources, keep up the videos!
