I'm in the market for a 14in bandsaw. Normally I'd research and pick something like this myself, but online reviews are too sparce to draw solid conclusions and reputable round up articles are 4+ years old.

I can run 220v and I'd prefer a 2+ hp motor. I plan on doing a lot of veneer resawing for bent laminations. Pretty much anything in the 14" class is in my price range. I prefer quality over savings. I'm new to full sized bandsaw, so having something that's easy to adjust and dial in would be ideal.

In paper, the Laguna 14bx is top of my list, but I hear enough Laguna customer service and QC horror stories that I'm hesitant.

Any and all input would be greatly appreciated!

Anyone here looking for 3D Modeler for your woodworking projects? I can help.

Is this still usable? I have no idea when I opened it and didn't close it but let's assume 2 months of it being open in my garage.

It's still a liquid but that doesn't mean it'll work, correct?

Hello woodworkers! I am a double reed player that creates custom tools for oboists, bassoonists, and other double reed players that make reeds. If you're not familiar, reeds are made of arundo donax, and the process by which reeds are created are akin to woodworking.

I'm trying to create a tool that would allow a small pen-like device to control a small amount of sandpaper for very small minute sanding on the reed. All the sandpaper or emery sheets I can find for 800 grit are too thick and don't conform well to the device. I've also looked into rotary bits for dremels, but the grit is too coarse. Are there ultra-thin/flexible sanding sheets available? I see one available by 3M but is extremely expensive. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Price is not safe for wallet. :)

Bought my son some tools (top box) and my son-in-law some clamps (long bottom box).

Needed to wrap them. Neighbor was having some siding replaced. The contractor let me have scraps.

Obvious solution.

So me and my Girlfriend just got a 1 Bedroom apartment, and we really want to optimize space and just for fun really want to make a loft bed, I personally always have the thought making it myself, but never can make the idea complete, needs to be about a 300-350lb capacity, we want about 4ft of space under to put beanbags or so. So any tips or info would help, we also do not want to screw it to the wall and lose our security deposit so if we could keep away from attaching to the walls would be great, Open to any and all suggestions!

Made this yesterday - I saw examples in puzzlewood earlier in the year (based on that Studio Ghibli film). This was made with ash and I used axe, knife, sandpaper and a torch for the dark effect.

Hello,

I’m new to furniture building, have been reading the Anarchist Design Book by Christopher Swartz and have some of the Veritas tapered tenon cutters and reamers which are 12 degrees in angle.

My question is about achieving a taper more narrow than 12 degrees. I have some already tapered wood stock that has a very small taper of between 0.4-1 degrees.

How would I best taper the hole to match this? Would it be best to drill the hole out and then use a rasp or file to open it up to match the wider end of the stock? Can anyone recommend a way I might be able to achieve a tapered hole with this degrees more efficiently?

Thanks,
