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?

Congratulations on the two-year anniversary.

@OllyPJ

Hi there!

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.

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

@NewEnglandsWoodWorks

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.

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 :)

Congratulations on your 2 year anniversary, great to see the new bandsaw being used :)

I always love using scraps for something instead of throwing them out. Thanks Alex!
