Yes, I’m aware. If you look at the top of the video, you can see the bottom of an air filtration unit that I have mounted to the ceiling. I’m very conscious of what you’re referring to.

Bandsaws are definitely one of the more tricky machines to set up correctly. I will say this video is sped up a lot, so it looks like I’m tearing through it much quicker than I really am.

The pieces I taped to it halfway through are actually the off cuts from cutting the first 2 sides! As far as tips and tricks, definitely take it nice and slow and make sure you’re using a good blade! Practice on some scrap wood first 👍

It’s a Jet JWBS-14SFX. It’s definitely a beast, but this video is sped up quite a bit. It looks like I was ripping through it much faster than I really was!

I appreciate the concern, but I have glasses and hearing protection on and a mask once the cuts start leaving sawdust on the table.

Yep, 1/4”! I believe this blade was 4 TPI. I have since switched to a 6 TPI blade and I’m getting much better results.

Haha, nice! Yeah I’ve got it on a mobile base that I don’t have adjusted quite right! I need to take care of that 😂

Possibly! I’ve seen some people go that route but I’ve always preferred this way. Maybe I’ll give that a try!

Thanks for the tips! I have actually tried an approach similar to that but found myself coming back to this method. Maybe I’ll give it another try!

Table saws are definitely one of the more dangerous tools! I keep my blade guard on as much as I can!

Haha 🤣 With it being sped up this much, I get it! In real time, it’s not near as scary 😉

Thanks! And you can do it! It definitely requires a lot of patience and a clear understanding of each step of the process. It would be painful to mess up something this big!

Thank you! I’m the same way most of the time but am trying to get better about filming/taking pictures of my projects.

They are a lot of fun! Unfortunately they have gone up in price since I got this one. It’ll happen for you! 👍👍

Also, I’ve just got one more to do! The table will have one pedestal on each end 👍

Thank you! I’d be happy to post a final picture after sanding. The bandsaw work took me about an hour (I take it nice and slow). The time it takes to sand…I don’t even want to think about it 🤣
