My neighbor wants to cut a 1/8th brass plague. I have a dull 3 tpi blade on the bandsaw. Any issues other than a really dull blade after the cut? TIA

Does it have to fasten? Solid wood top will stay put with 2 free dowels. Yes?

As Fred stated, no issues. A coat of shellac can serve to seal in the BLO and also serve as a base for whatever final finish you want. Adding the shellac coat avoids the long wait for the BLO to cur...

I do not think you can get to really sharp for $100. If I am using diamond, then I use 1200, 4000, and 8000 grit stones + strop. If I am using water stones, I use 1000, 6000, 13000. That is just th...
