@steveho75 My 9" Skil can't unless perhaps a cedar or balsa tree ... even then, under 4" diameter or it binds up. I'll definitely buy bigger next time.

what the name of this stuff ? is it sell ? how much ? where can i get this stuff ?

great video- I'm now in the market for a band saw so I can attempt to build a hollow wooden surfboard and I think the bandsaw would be most useful.

If you stand the lumber upright the ends wont split when they dry. grandpa taught us that and it works. Not sure why but it does. No need to paint or seal it.

Great Tip!

Sorry to ask a bit of a stupid question but for the same horsepower does a 10' inch saw differ much from a 14'? Thanks

How long does it take for each plank to dry?
medskera 6 months ago
@medskera As a rule you should allow 1 year of drying per 1” of board thickness. The best bet is to get a moisture meter and monitor the moisture content of the wood. It should air dry down to 12-14%.

@REDNECKCABLETV The bandsaw used here was manufactured by General International. They have a large array of bandsaws in many different sizes and price points. You can check out all of their products at their website. Thanks. George.

Is a 14" bandsaw, 1hp motor, powerful enough to do re-sawing??
2kidsnosleep 1 year ago
@2kidsnosleep Yes, a 14” saw with a 1 hp motor has plenty of oomph to do resawing. Be sure you’re picking the correct blade. A resaw blade should be at least ½” wide, and have 3 or 4 teeth per inch.
