how do you provide pressure when resawing tall stock

[Steven Lee, NC]

I got the laguna suv and love it and am amazed at how thin I can get. For me the key was not pressing the wood against the fence with my hands like i see in all the google images but to use stacked featherboards which provide constant pressure at all times so when I reposition myself at all, it is not reflected in a bumpy area in the slice.


So far the tallest thing I have found that can keep the stock against the fence is a 4 featherboard stack by shopsmith and used on stock up to 6inches tall. I want something much taller since I have a resaw height of 14 inches. I tried making something myself and failed miserably. I'd like to see what others have come up with.



thanks

thanks. That post is exactly what I was looking for. I remembered seeing something with wheels before I got my bandsaw and I googled high and low trying to find it. :)

John, I thought we had you talked into building that resaw contraption of yours and selling it commercially? I'd be happy to be your first customer.
