Alex Snodgrass is, in fact, probably a showman, but a showman that is absolutely correct with regard to bandsaw setup for resawing. I've set mine up according to his outlined steps for the past several years and I get the best results I've ever had when resawing. I can find nothing wrong with is recommendations at this point. I don't do a lot of curve cutting with the bandsaw; mostly cutting blanks and resawing. For that, his method gives me the best results that I've had in 30+ years of woodworking. If it works for you, then use it; don't question it.
