Post: RE: How to scribe this curve?
Oh yeah! A fender washer! That's what I was trying to figure out! MT, yeah I'll make a cardboard template. I did that earlier today building the weather hatch.

Post: RE: Padauk jewelry box build thread
Ah man, I'm terrible. This project never got beyond milling the pieces to size; they're all in a box waiting on me to get back to it and put it together.

This mobile base came with my bandsaw when I bought it. It's been a decade. I hate it. The wheels jam too easily. The swiveling wheel is a pain to use. Can you guys recommend a base that actua...

I've fallen in love with Mestool. I buy them from Amazon. Inexpensive, great performance, long life.

Post: RE: Who uses two bandsaws in their shop?
I did for a while; I had a friend's 14" on long term loan. One saw had a resaw blade, the other a curve cutting blade. Eventually I'll buy another so I can do this again.

It's probably operator error. I just opened the box and it's the first time I've used the clamp style. I'll figure it out.

I love old tools.  All my stationary equipment is old and was bought used by me.  Well, two pieces (PM 66 and Delta 14" BS) aren't all that old, but they're both mid-90's American made so I think that...

Yup, I knicked myself TWICE the first time I installed it. I'm glad I picked up a second saw for super cheap (not much more then the cost of the blade!) to be a dedicated cross cut saw!
