Very helpful. My biggest take away was about @4:30 with keeping the blade tangent to the arc. Now I know what to look for. I was a bit anxious watching your fingers around that blade though. Thank you sir.
Michael Fortune also does amazing bandsaw jigs. If you're a member of Fine Woodworking you can access his videos. Michael Fortune is doing this kind of stuff, but adding coopering to it. Boggs and Fortune are two of my favorite furniture designers.
great video Brian thanks for sharing. cutting direction is interesting a key thing to understand. I used to work the scroll saw a lot and I used to turn my stool slightly to the right and feed wood into the blade at a slight angle. this way i could easily cut straight and when you can cut straight you'll freehand a curve no problem. I understood that drift on scrollsaw blades was to do with a tiny burr on one side from manufacturing which meant one side was a bit sharper and cut better/faster which caused drift. I know its different to the band saw and blades are made different, ground blades dont have the issue of one side being better than the other but its just interesting and relates to cutting direction. Thanks again Brian
Really appreciate you sharing your knowledge Brian. These videos have been 'penny drop' moments for me. I'm much better versed in understanding the dynamics of the bandsaw beyond straight cuts from these two videos
8:48 Great info as always, so is the rule of thumb that if it’s burning on the inside it needs to move out and if it’s rubbing on the outside it needs to move in?
Your videos always disappoint me in one major way; they all come to end! I want the next one to be a perpetual stream of knowledge. Seriously though, there is a lot of woodworking content, a lot is good, some bad. Yours is consistently top notch. I can tell that you want your viewers to deeply understand these concepts, not just see a cool video with enviable tools. Thanks for all your investment in the future of this craft!
shift the feed direction toward the side that is rubbing. If that is not clear, make a cut in what you know is not the right direction. You'll see what side is rubbing, then it should be all clear. Does that help?
Your teaching is above the standards of most colleges, very valuable for people who want to produce high quality work. Thank you.

That last fixture is mind blowing. Really super inspiring to see how consistent and dynamic these things can get on the right equipment.
