It's an old cast iron bandsaw. Thats all I could tell from the ad.

Are these a joy to have? Or should I buy groceries this week?

So the inlay didn't take the stain like I expected it to. Next time, I will know better.
Otherwise, it's done. Not the prettiest box I have ever seen, but it's the thought that counts, Right? ... ...

I was born in the 70's. Lived in the country where the nearest real town was a 20 minute drive and the closest city was more than an hour away. No real industry to speak of other than agriculture. I...

Pun intended?

7. Spray Pam on your reciprocating saw blades to avoid tearout.

don't mean to be condiscending, but leaving part of the stem when picking a mushroom does not really help propigate the species. Some people even believe that tapping the cap of a mushroom before...

A magic wand is used to ward off the faires that protect the mushrooms so you can pick them without being bombarded by sprites and spells. I thought everyone knew that.

If you get into mushroom hunting, get you a mesh bag for collecting your find to ensure the spores are released as you trek through the woods. This will ensure their chances of sporulation and...

I like your vision, it's similar to mine.

I'm thinking something along the lines of 16 x 20, tall gable roof with room for a loft just big enough for a bed, nightstand and dressar positioned over...

I'm not worried about building permits really. I wouldn't need to bring the local gov into the picture unless I got electrical, sewer and water hookups. I looked at the city data for the area and...

I was visiting my parents this weekend. I was in town for a wedding and stayed at their place. I took the opportunity to cut up a cedar log that I've had drying for a couple of years to do some bird...

I was visting my parents this weekend and noticed an old handsaw in my dad's shop that had a handled that resembled the Disston design. I took it down and looked it over discovering that it was a...

It would probably be more wise to purchase a plot of land and plant your own selection of trees to harvest in the future. You may also get a break on your taxes for it.
You can also buy wine by the...

No once likes cedar heartwood? Or is that just a Texas thing? Or am I confusing 'Whittling' with Carving?

Ripping at a 45 has more of a tendencey to bind the stock between the blade and the fence depending on where your fence is positioned in relation to the rotation of the blade.

I always find projects as gifts and sentimental items to demand more of my attention and accuracy. Always a joy to do as you know the finished product will be one that is hard to let go.

I have fashioned some Square L shaped jigs from pieces of scarp that clamp to the board to rest the saw against to keep it square. But after some practice, I found that focus, concentration and...

I don't have one, but I would reccomend the Grizzly. There are lots of good reviews, and many members here own the saw. (wish I had one :rolleyes: )

You say you don't do much resawing, but I...

Should I be on the lookout for a WWII era saw by Disston? Apparently this guy knew his metallurgy as his company not only made saws, but also provided armor plating for the military. A few searches...

Thanks for the info. I will have to give this a try.

This weekend, I was working with a limited amount of wood on hand and I knew exactly how thin to resaw in order to get the amount of wood I needed for a project. I knew it would be a close call, and...

A friend gave me some 2" thick mahogany a while back to dress up a project I was working on and I wanted to make him something out of the leftovers as a thank you.

I did two passes on my TS to...
