I tune in to see if you still have all of your fingers and toes. You have survived the hydraulic press (so far) and are now challenging the band saw to do you harm. Your logs are hard to push across the table because the bottom is uneven so the downward pressure of the blade catches high spots on the near corner of the table. That will also cause your wood piece to wobble and can bend or break your blade.
Compressed air will make short work of sawdust filled bug burrows. 19:12 My jaw was already dropped at the lack of safe work practices and then this....0.25 speed recommended. A home built dust separator will keep the shop vac filter cleaner longer, thus more suction for the huge amounts of dust to be generated.
@@RinoaL thats a ludicrous price, probably half as much again as the rest of the machine, i guess the only thin it has more than your solution is alignment pins top and bottom.
@@RinoaL like you said, it is always the things you arnt expecting danger from, i remember from one of your very early vids that you were chasing your cat and hit your shin on the concrete step...you needed stitches...that did more damage than any of your power tools, keep up the great work
Yo, Rin. A fun way to clear the sawdust is with a an air compressor. Blast some air into the holes. Often, they're connected. I restored a 120ish year old painting and the stretcher bars had little pinworm holes all over them. Their network was so connected that blasting air on one end of a 4ft side blew sawdust out of the other, as well as several other points in the side. A couple of zips on a table saw would have put a fast groove in that blade guard. Either way, great job.
Did you put alignment pins in the top of the block to keep the top saw portion in alignment? If not I would be concerned that it will wander to the side.
I agree the bolt will keep it stiff. My concern was that as you cut wood and apply pressure to the blade, that will transfer to the upper section and cause a rotational force that without the alignment pins over time could cause the top section to rotate out of alignment around the center bolt. May be something you will want to check after some use. Just wanted to help keep you safe.
To cut channels in Wood, certainly small pieces like that, do you have a skill saw? Just set the blade to whatever depth you want and run as many cuts lengthwise to gouge out the area you want to channel.
That is a better idea than mine. I was just thinking with the increased height of the saw that maybe you can cut a larger mallet head. Was actually thinking like a carnival "strong man" size... But that might not make it into the "comical" range.
I know you don't need to hear this from me. But my job has made these things really stick out to me. But please, please clamp your work whenever possible. I'm nervous about you drilling holes through your hands.
well university graduates and students are the dumbest of the dumb, i managed rapid prototyping labs at Apple and had many issues of engineering graduates not knowing how to drill a hole by hand. as for things that i hold, i dont have much choice because im drilling a 7" hole with a drillpress that that only goes 4 inches, so i'd need to mount and unmount it like 10 times meanwhile doing it by hand is honestly safer for wood. i find its easier to let go if it catches than the try to grab clamps that shoot around when they rattle loose.
@@RinoaL Saws are dangerous, even Diresta almost lost his pinky, happens in the blink of an eye, i am not a safety sally, just want you around to create lots of videos, cheers
oh i'm already planning that, dont worry. and i found even just propping the end of the wood up with a stick made it far far easier to slide across the table. this table still has that sticky oily stuff on it from manufacturing so ill clean that off before i wax it.
@@RinoaL i wax mine and it makes it so much easier (and helps stop it rusting if it gets damp) a good household wax polish should do the trick (i tend to avoid silicon polishes and favour ones with beeswax)
Your like a kid in a candy store...enjoy it!! Safety first.

Made me jump when that wood caught. Hope your chin is okay.
I love your belt sander.
Same, I jumped too
Never a dull moment in the shop. Good show today thanks for uploading.
Its good to see you rising to the challenge..
ah i just now got it.
Thinning the linseed oil with turpentine helps it adsorb into the wood for the first few coats.
well, letting the wood dry first would have also helped. haha

I love the concept of extending the depth of cut of the saw by raising the whole head of the bandsaw, good outside of the box thinking.
well they designed this to do that, harbor freight sells riser blocks, but they are like 140$.
@@RinoaL thats a ludicrous price, probably half as much again as the rest of the machine, i guess the only thin it has more than your solution is alignment pins top and bottom.
it probably is straighter though lol
This band saw hack is brilliant! However, I think you need a band with fewer and larger teeth to get better sawdust removal. :)
Looks like self harm attempt.. No, Rin, don't do it, it's not the right time for injuries... =) We like to watch more videos about your projects...
Maybe a small chamfer or round ground into the leading edge of your table would ease the wood over it.
That wood block is the reason you can't get enough tension on your blade that keeps slipping. The wood is giving slightly. You need a steel block.
agreed, but it does well enough for now.
well now you can say you have taken a punch from a band saw, really like how it is coming along
yup, its good to get a taste of danger so you remember it.

precisely, its always complacency that causes injury.

@@RinoaL next one to build!
Good idea given price of the riser blocks and you were not the only one to say ouch when wood gave you an uppercut hope no damage was done
nah not even a bruise, just surprising lol.
Good to hear
I like your pants.
thanks
Did you put alignment pins in the top of the block to keep the top saw portion in alignment? If not I would be concerned that it will wander to the side.
no because on most bandsaws the alignment pins arent very snug anyway, the stiffness comes from the main bolt.
I agree the bolt will keep it stiff. My concern was that as you cut wood and apply pressure to the blade, that will transfer to the upper section and cause a rotational force that without the alignment pins over time could cause the top section to rotate out of alignment around the center bolt.

@@digi63 This is a great point. It will likely go unheeded. The name Rinoa must be some Albanian word for danger or something.
Bradwick1, why so negative and blind? i take advice all the time, my channel is built on advice.
Maybe make a kind of sled where you can secure your log in with some screws or something simular.
yeah im working on that, i have some long threaded logs already picked out.

my circular saw is across town at bills house
Ants like linseed oil. Raw or boiled?
both
You should make a comically large mallet.
size of an oil drum comical enough?
That is a better idea than mine. I was just thinking with the increased height of the saw that maybe you can cut a larger mallet head. Was actually thinking like a carnival "strong man" size... But that might not make it into the "comical" range.
Great video, thanks! Have you thought of volume levelling your videos? Voice vs machine noise keeps me on top of the volume button all the time😛
for 3$ per video i dont get payed enough

thats an odd thing to be worried about, drilling through hand. how would that even work?

use wax on your table, that will help things slide

Hey Rinoa... Wouldnt a mitre saw be better at this task? That said it does seem like you are getting a decent result.
First dammit!
about damn time.
Clever girl!
