    Great video, but how about a video on making a bandsaw extension table. 😊

      I looked at the comments to see if I was the only one that was surprised that the blade didn't break when you were supporting the majority of the burl in your hands, and not an extension table in front (at least, better would be to create a 4x4' u shaped table to support larger pieces).

    Over the years I’ve wrecked a bunch of blades slicing up firewood on my old 18” bandsaw. Eventually destroyed the tires and put a jiggle in the top wheel. 4 years ago I sold the saw for $100. I still mill up figured firewood (like yesterday) but on the new saw I use a simple 4’ sled “surfboard”. Also have a couple 1/4” plywood extension tables, a long one and a wide one. To make clamping tables or jigs to my table easier, I cutout a couple wood filler blocks that pattern fit the casting voids underside of the table and added a strong magnet to keep the blocks in place. I can pop the blocks out for use on the table saw if needed.

    That is an absolutely unique pattern inside that burl. Check twice, cut once… nah measure it till it’s correct. I like your caution with such wild grained and odd shaped wood.

    Most people turn the burls into pots on a lathe, first time seeing the beauty of a sliced one turning out a guitar body.👍
    My next guitar build will hopefully be a burl.

    @billshipley8599 2 роки тому

    Will you epoxy the inclusions prior to making the final cut/slices? Seems like epoxying first would be the safer way to go, as the thinner the pieces get the less strength of the inclusion area.

    • @KleshGuitarsOfficial
      @KleshGuitarsOfficial  2 роки тому

      I've cut them to just over final thickness to allow room for sanding them after they're epoxied.

    So i know this is an older video but i just happened across it today out of curiosity what is it that you sprayed on the burl to get the grain to show up like that?

      Denatured Alcohol. It wets the wood to show the grain, but does not raise the grain.

    2:03 this is where you are supposed to adjust the table to angle of the cut you want, not hold it in the air. Bad craftsmanship will eventually hurt you.
