My lumber cost for western red cedar ran about $50 a chair - I used 5/4 tight knot cedar from my local supplier and bought fence slats for the 4/4 stuff - i purchased enough for 2 chairs and have...

Cut with the band saw and clean up the face with the jointer.

This^^^^^
It is also liberating to know that I can go use hand tools for that occasional board that is too wide for the machine

Have you pulled the belt and run the motor by itself? And while you are at it spin the lower wheel. I would initially suspect bearings motor or lower wheel

Yep if you only have 2 boards I would use my trusty $25 #5 with a nice camber on the blade - just did it last night more then 2 and I start thinking about getting the lunchbox planer out.

yeah 42 F is about when I switch to foul weather shorts

I find the noise level of my HF 2 hp dust collector to be very tolerable. I would not have guessed from running it that hearing protection would be necessary. Now turn on my shop vac or lunchbox...

I think he is lucky he has them all when he gave her a tool bag for her birthday!

I know this is the power tool forum, but if I only had a little bit of rock (I assume it twisted) i would use a hand plane to remove the high spots - but that does not solve your resaw problem - and...

Nothing to add just wanna say that is a great signature line.

Thanks Van

Minor hijack but same topic (same saw)- what would you go with for non-carbide and again what width - 3/4 or half?

My father did this several times when refinishing and restoring furniture. It works

A couple of different techniques come to mind - you can start on the concave side and work traversing the stock to level the ends to match the middle until you have the concave side flat enough to...

I am all for it - always love a good bench thread

I see the Delta 28-350's come up for sale on Craigslist periodically - I was wondering what is the resaw capacity?

i would have brought it as a carry on because I am afraid they would lose it

I keep a non-cambered blade in mine - it is primarily used as a shooting plane and a small jointer. I have the LV version

And i would agree with you if he was using a filter, however he is venting outside

+1 a properly built Thein can eliminate all visible dust and since you are venting outside that would be my choice.

In my previous house I had a lumber rack hung from the ceiling above the garage door. I wish I could do that in my current house but there is no room above the garage door.

yep this is what I would do

My choice would be the Thein baffle - you are venting outside and all I would worry about is visible dust which a properly built baffle is very effective at removing.

i am a moderately experienced sawyer - I have relatively successfully sharpened 5 saws - although I have never had to add set to one yet. I have a bishop hand saw 26" 8 ppi I would like to setup for...

Stewie,
what angles would you recommend for a crosscut hand saw that can be dedicated to finishing cuts in very dry hard woods
