Just viewed a video I picked up called "Mastering your Bandsaw" by Mark
Duginski. I'm impressed, especially with his method of cutting cones and
cutting dovetails. This stuff may be old methods to you people that already
own a bandsaw, but for me thinking of buying one, it seems like magic to me.

You should see what Sam Maloof can do with a bandsaw.
He doesn't recomend free handing on the bandsaw but
did it because he didn't know any better when he started
and now it's second nature to him. Of course he's got
a problem with the first digit of one of his fingers which
got smashed between the wood he was freehand cutting
and the cast iron bandsaw table. But I guess if you
live as long as he has and done as much as he's done
on the bandsaw AND still has all of his digits - he's
got it down pretty good.

So I can assume from what you're saying that the book is a lot better. Only
difference is that I might never have gotten around to picking up the book
whereas my geeky/technology interest was immediately piqued when I found the
video.

You're kidding right....?

Kidding about Netflix having it?

Nope.

One thing that's intrigued me is how quiet a bandsaw is and what you can
actually do with one and the proper jigs. I live in an apartment so the only
times I do any heavy woodworking is when I go over to a friend's house to
use my tablesaw that I sold him. Since I use a wheelchair, so far anyway,
I've been unable to find a cheap enough, close enough accessible location
for me to rent for use as a small workshop.

I'd never use a tablesaw in an apartment, but a bandsaw in a dedicated
apartment room is entirely workable and just means that I'd need a big
enough apartment, something entirely within my reach. Now I'm really
envisioning all sorts of possibilities.

no, what I meant was that if you were reading the book and saw the video, (in
your head, not by having the book AND the video), I would consider it a drug
gloat and ask you to share.. *g*

Well, I do know from watching the video, that there's a number of things in
Mark Duginski's book that aren't in the video. Things like jigs and stuff
like that. So I may try to get the book when I have the time. I did obtain
Lonnie Bird's book on using the bandsaw. Lot of information in there too, I
just haven't had time to go through the whole thing yet.

they're really 2 different type of info, and it's always best to have both if
possible...
A picture might be worth 1,000 words, but sometimes the words convey it
better... and most of us were taught in school that we learn from books, so it's
effective..
The advantage of also having video is that you can see what you read about in
action.. and quickly go to whatever part that you want to.. and freeze a part
that you wanted to see.

Personally, I like having both because I really don't read much in the shop..
that's what recliners are for.. *g* Also, I like to learn sort of "hands
on"...
I bought Bill Grumbine's bowl turning DVD after pretty much reading the same
info free at his web site... but having the DVD in the little tv in the shop and
being able to watch part, pause it and TRY what he did, then continue watching,
was great..
