Round stock on band saw - THANK YOU Darrell!
As I was browsing www.aroundhthewoods.com this morning for inspiration, I went
through some of Master Feltmate's turning tips.. Clicked on the "cutting round objects on the band saw" or whatever, expecting yet another jig to build.. Saw a picture of a branch with a bar clamp on it, keeping the limb form rotating.... Hmmmmm.. What a simple but effective solution to a common problem! mac Please remove splinters before emailing |

I've done a little of that, but since I took off the shop-built table, my 14" table runs out of room for much more than a clamp to rest on.. mac Please remove splinters before emailing |
