Resawing on a 14" Bandsaw |

Very nice set up! Thanks for sharing.
I think you enhanced your work with the used of the doubled feather boards to keep the stock against the fence.
I have the Delta 14" as well. For re-saw, I use a 3/8" blade, which allows me to gain some more tension. I'll keep an eye open for a replacement spring to gat a bit more tension--though I've had great success with the stock spring up to 6" white oak stock----haven't had to get wider as I'm mostly resawing to get 1/2" thickness stock for small projects.

Not sure I'm the one to answer your questions but that's a very nice bookshelf you built. Short of a fire he should be able to hand it down to his kids at some point. You already know how to build that one. Even with the new time constraints I would seriously consider building the same thing again. The second should go faster due to less time spent head scratching. Rodney

I go to a local place here in Gilroy CA. Collective Past is a place where I'm known on a first name basis. I never go there looking for any one particular thing, I just buy whatever tickles my fancy. The model for their business is one shop with numerous dealers, each having their own stall. One stall is a specialist; tools only. When any of my coworkers asks me what they should get for a hand plane I always tell them to avoid new ones like the plague. "Just leave it to me, and I'll get you a good one at a good price", Ill say. I've only done this a few times, but it gives me some satisfaction knowing they won't buy a modern St****y plane in the box. (Shudder) I've always done it as a friend, never for money.
