[kelmac07]

Way cool!!! I aggree with AJ...my fingers would be GONE!!

[Diesel Kinevel]

[adampc22]

when i did my apprenticeship (i am a joiner) my i guess u would call master used to tell me storys about when he did his apprenticeship his master was a bit blind so he would grow his thumb nail extra long and use that when he was useing a bandsaw and so when the blade hit his thumb nail he knew he had cut threw to the right part on the wood

[shilala]

I thought it was gonna be a pony.
That guy's nuts. You oughta see what you gotta do to mod your bandsaw to do that stuff. It's crazy.
I can cut a piece of wood in half with mine. :tu

Had I attempted that, I would have ended up with a pile of toothpicks....and a helluva lot of stitches!!!!

That guy is nuts! At first I thought it would be like a MAD TV skit about the guy who maims himself with power tools. :)

[joetownhound]

wow just wow

[jquirit]

Not the expected outcome I had expected. None the less, very impressive!

And like everybody else, if I had attempted to do the same I probably would of end up short a few digits of the normal ten!

[RGD.]

I have a feeling he has done that at least once before -


Impressive - :tu

That guy has skills. Wow.

[markem]

That was very cool, thanks for the link. My brother freehands ducks and loons out of wood on his band saw, but they aren't quite as intricate and he isn't as fast. I think it takes him about 5 minutes to complete one.

Cool.

[boom]

Amazing!!!!

[The Poet]

Let's see him do that after a few shots!

Now why dont they teach that in middle school shop class

[Silound]

I've seen that done before at conventions. It's not at all difficult to learn to make those cuttings, although the speed is something that only comes with practice and lots of trial and error (and a budget for 2x4's). It's merely a step by step cutting routine.


The blades they use are an exceptionally fine (20+ teeth per inch) 1/8" scroll work blade. They run around $50-100 for a high quality one, however it takes a powerful, modified, and well tuned saw to do that kind of intricate carving. Most people never use a bandsaw enough to lean the feel for how to tune them that well, and most people aren't going to dish out $200 in aftermarket accessories (guides, wheels, and slip blocks) to enhance the saw's performance.

Hella fun to watch those guys work though...them and the guys who can turn intricate paper thin goblets on a lathe.

[GoodFella]

haha neat. the best thing i ever made on a bansaw was a door stop
