    I gritted my teeth so hard when he introduced resawing at 2:28, and the captions called it "Resoling a Riesling[...]". and several references later to resawing saw funny things like "Reese all", "Every stalling", and "wrestling".
    This video is basically a recap/refresher for most of a bandsaw class in a trade school, and then some. A fantastic video with great ideas. A few cuts would have had one of my teachers dock a few points when the hands were needlessly close to the blade. It was a great, clean, video to watch. Only thing I can remember from school that would add to this are bandsaw boxes.

    I haven’t used my old 80’s model Craftsman 12 inch band saw and decided to make a set of Adirondack chairs for my son. I gave my saw a good checkout, luckily I saved the owners manual. The wheel tires were original so I purchased 2 new neoprene tires and won the stretch battle installing them. I went step by step on the setup and happily the saw works like if did in the 80’s. Thanks for the video and inspiring uses.

    I’m a DIYer that does 1-2 projects a month at most, and I found that a lot of projects I need require a band saw. I kept my eye out for a used one but couldn’t find a decent deal and but the bullet on a brand new Ryobi. It’s not the best band saw but having a band saw has been an amazing addition to my collection.

    There was a UA-cam video on how to make a chair out of a single 2X6 that was 8 feet long. Some of the pieces required you to cut the board in half or 3/4 by 3 inches tall. I found out real quick that it was too dangerous to cut on a table saw and would be a perfect job for a bandsaw. I just ordered one saw will have one in my shop in the next week or two.

    bandsaw is my next investment i think. i realised this after trying to cut some notches into wood and not being able to get them 90degrees no matter how i tried. i also want one with a decent (6"+ height of cut which bumps up the price but if you are going to get one you may as well get one that can repurpose wood like you do. i get a lot of bits of wood too that nothing else can really work with.

    Great video. If you have an accurate bandsaw you can actually use it for general rip cuts. I am a cabinet maker and I use my bandsaw for cutting the vast majority of my hardwood stock. I throw my stuff through a drum sander or a helical head planer after sawing, so the bandsaw is a fantastic tool for ripping.
