Interested in windsor chair making. One car gar..er, shop, hobby, non-production setting. Any chairmakers out there and what band saw (type/size) are you using? Riser block?
Currently looking at Delta/Powermatic/Lagunia 14". Do need more than this? Will be cutting seat blanks (white pine) and ripping blanks for turning spindles (oak/ash).
Does anyone use just a bandsaw, without a table saw for general woodworking? I have heard this is more common in europe. I will need to built shop cabinets/rolling cabinets and work bench. ( I am more Neander type than Normite). Or should I just bite the bullet on space and get a table saw with moble bases on everything?
All help is appreciated, thanks.
