for a video idea, i think showing us all the different type of wood joints and your favourite ways of joining wood would be great, as i would really like to learn how to do some really nice looking joints. Thanks :)
I'd be interested to hear how you got such a good finish on such a thin slice of wood. Presumably, it was cut on your bandsaw, first? But then, what? Sanding? Or, did you find a way to plane something only 2mm thick?
Yes this scrap came of the bandsaw an I used the belt sander to sand it to the correct thickness. If I had one I guess a drum sander would have been appropriate Hand planing would have been very tricky ( and messy) but a thicknesser is possibilityif you use double sided tape to fix it to the top suface of another board.
The wheels should be fine, that backward and forward motion the blade has is due to a really bad kink which I got in the blade. Sadly I can't seem to bend it back into shape. It is a bit of a shame because that size is the one I use most often.

I noticed your bandsaw wheels are not coplanar at 1:47 . You should adjust these to get a better cut.

You've arrived my man, YouTube put a big video advert at the beginning of your video. I hope you get a check for that.
Congrats on 2 years.
