Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

Need to get a riser kit for the bandsaw. Have old redwood to mill for interior window trim.
New windows coming.
Been doodling ideas for new shop, porch steps etc.
Dotti likes the shop.

I put a rise or kit in my Delta bandsaw, but it does not have enough power to be very effective at resawing, even with a very good blade.

There's no substitute for horsepower.

1 1/2 h , will be marginal. Need all new blades anyway.

Very marginal. Gear it down, if you can. Woodslicer blades, 3tpi

I liked my low tension carbide blades.
Don't even know where to get parts except from Jet. $250.
$60 16 years ago...LOL.
Thanks.
I've decided to save the $.
I can rip & hand saw redwood.

Getting closer on this.

 

[BrentD]

Making a little progress. These two boards will be stack, oak on top, fir on the bottom.

Need to make corbels tonight.

 

[Dan-06]

What are you using for corbels?

 

[BrentD]

What are you using for corbels?

I was going to make corbels that followed the same mix-species, layered look, but I am going to change that. I will stick with mixing the 2 species, but do a more traditional diagonal brace. The photo of this shelf (not mine and its backets) is what I had thought about originally.

 

[Dan-06]

That should be nice

That should be nice

I hope so. I might be looking at them for another 20 years.

A simple bar top humidor. Exterior is mahogany, interior is Spanish cedar lined. I made a gasket for the lid with silicone but I suspect in my dry climate it'll be difficult to maintain an ideal humidity.

This is the start to a very special project for me. I'll tell you what it is as I get a little further along. It's starting out from a Black Walnut .

 

[Dan-06]

Very interesting. I’m following. It’s my type of thing, starting with just a stump or a tree.

Is it just the picture and my eyes or does the color seem reverse with a darker outer layer and a lighter heart?

 

[BenP]

Finished up the p-51 mustang. Made from tongue depressors, some plexiglass canopy, and aluminum for the blades that does spin.

I'm late to this thread. Some real talented folks on here.

I'm getting it cut down to size. It's about 36" long and 3-1/2" thick. The humidity is still way too high to start cutting it to the final piece.
It's going to be a cross for my buddy that passed away in '23. It's going to be in the family private cemetery that dates back to the 1800's. It's a very emotional piece for me and I'm honored that they asked me to make it.
