"David F. Eisan" wrote in message ... Hello all, I was working at the Kitchener Wood Show yesterday and I had a guitar maker who needed 14" of resaw, but a small budget.

Just how dumb an idea would this be? I know *someone* has to have tried this... Are you sure your name isn't "Tim"? Why not? If everything fit and it all stayed in alignment, should be OK. But for a "couple guitars per year" why doesn't he just find a local shop who could do the resaw for him,? -- Nahmie Those on the cutting edge bleed a lot. |

My bet is that it wouldn't take much for a decent machinist to duplicate a 3" spacer with flanges using the riser as a template. -- www.e-woodshop.net Last update: 11/06/04 |

Of course, the safety of the saw would be compromised by the loss of the LH guards, the resaw capability would be marginal at best do to inadequate blade tension, and I don't even want to contemplate how slow the feed rate (and heat buildup) would be. Other than that, sounds like a foolish idea likely to remodel one's face with 3 TPI.... Tell him to buy a couple six-packs for someone with a larger saw if he has to cut 14" boards. Guess that's why most guitars I've seen are bookmatched pieces. |

Very dumb idea, Two riser kits on band saw?
Hello all,
I was working at the Kitchener Wood Show yesterday and I had a guitar maker who needed 14" of resaw, but a small budget. Then it struck me, why not take a standard 14" 3/4hp bandsaw, throw a 1.5hp motor and *two* riser kits on it. This guy only makes about two guitars a year and it would only be used now and then. Just how dumb an idea would this be? I know *someone* has to have tried this... David. |

Plenty of power for just about any sawing task and tracking is easily adjusted via the steering wheel. Add in the 5 speed feature (plus reverse if you get a blade jammed) and I think we can get behind this. I wonder if you would get better results with very high tire pressure or with lowered pressure? And tensioning the blade might be a bit problematic - maybe slip the blade on with the tires flat then add tension via air pressure? I would want to work with at least a 1 1/2" - 2" blade I think. Definitely an idea worth wasting some time on. -- "We need to make a sacrifice to the gods, find me a young virgin... oh, and bring something to kill" Tim Douglass http://www.DouglassClan.com |

You know the birds-eye maple I am talking about? The kind that looks like it's a 3-d suspension of unobtainium mixed with pearls? 'Twas an old Gibson, I don't recall the model..a jazz-type, smaller than a CG...looked like it was 12" deep.... just stunning. An impact I hadn't felt since the first time I laid eyes on Claude Lorraine's Embarkation Of The Queen Of Sheba at the National in London. A 9'6" 97-key makassar Bosendorfer leaves an impression as well. The most beautiful woodwork, in my humble opinion, is found in musical instruments. Even my simple, US made, Tele is nicely done. I often think about the likes of Guarneri scraping a new piece for his next violin as the world went on around him. Looking through his shop window at the street, he'd see the painters' daughter boiling linseed on a hot summer day, a bead of sweat on her forehead, her translucent dress clinging to her in the sunlight, and old Guarneri just scraping and scraping..... Holy cow! Look at the time, will ya? 0?0 ? Rob |

When I was a kid a guy down the street, who was a contractor, built a saw mill behind his barn. He had an automobile engine and transmission mounted in the front half of a car frame, with the steering assembly fixed in place by welding, for power. The engine and frame could be moved around as a unit as it was basically a trailer. His name was Jim... ;-) John |

Instead of raising the top wheel twice, have you considered raising the top wheel once and lowering the bottom wheel once? That'll keep the load on the motor symmetric, and let you use a balanced 220 V circuit without having to run a neutral wire. |

One could use the drive-shaft to power an auto-feed table. And of you put different diameter whhels on the other side of the car, front and back, you could resaw to a set thickness.

Folks figure because we average 300" of snow per year we have 4WD vehicles. We don't, but lots of people do, which is how I meet 'em. I'm on the ambulance.

We call spring time the same as the Russians - bezdorozhe - no road time. Frozen under, mud over, go nowhere. Keep the rig in two wheel until it gets stuck, then use four to get it out, is my philosophy. Of course, I've backed through the woods on snowmobile trails for over a mile on occasion rather than risk finding a turnaround somewhere beyond. |

Actually in a lot of the Uk 4x4s with their long travel suspenders and softer ride than eurobox cars are a much better bet with our rutted, potholed, sleeping policeman covered streets and roads. Even our motorways, sort of interstates I suppose, should be in a states (that bad) are rutted! Niel. |

wrote: Then it struck me, why not take a standard 14" 3/4hp bandsaw, throw a 1.5hp motor and *two* riser kits on it. Save your money on the riser kits - Get a steel framed saw and weld in an extension. You'll probably need to thicken up the column too, as a design that's appropriate at a small height just doesn't cut it when stretched. You'll also need to work on the tension spring. The extra length of blade is more extensible for a given tension, so you'll need a tension spring with much greater travel. You may need not only a new spring, but also to re-work the spring carrier to allow more travel. Steel is your friend here (and a MIG welder), not cast iron. It's not a job for most woodworkers, but if you're a metal basher it's not too hard - and plenty of people have done it successfully. -- Smert' spamionam |

My favorite thought is that all those newbie 4x4 drivers seem to think it makes them "bulletproof", and they usually find out they're not with the first snowfall. Makes me remember . . trying to get boat & trailer up mud/gravel drive @ SIL's house, his renter had jacked up F150 w/big mudders, he's rompin' & stompin', can't get it up the drive.

My economics instructor, a native, had his own theory behind the declining birthrate in the RSFSR. He reminded us of the true equality for women they had in the Soviet Union. "Women are truck drivers and lumberjacks. What would you think of going to bed with a lumberjack?" Had to admit he had a point, though even the finest-looking urban types lost a lot of their appeal to this US boy when approached from down wind and to a point close enough to see the hair that wasn't there on US females. My wife use to remind me not to mess with the women when I left for trips, but I told her my firm policy of never dating anything with more hair on its legs than I had kept me true to her... |
