Life in a cupboard store
From Bridgid:
Do you’re feeling that working in a cupboard store feeds the woodworking bug? Or does it put on you out generally and make it tough to work on private stuff or examine the craft exterior of labor hours?
And do you may have any recommendation/perception for individuals who love woodworking a lot that they wish to make it their full time gig? (Particularly, full-time jobs working in a bigger store, versus changing into a totally impartial designer/bespoke furnishings maker)
Am I asking an excessive amount of from my bandsaw?
From Travis:
When a device isn’t doing what you need it to, how do you differentiate between 1) blade is boring/incorrect for the aim, 2) device is poorly setup, 3) my approach with the device is poor, or 4) I’m asking the device to do greater than it might fairly do (I want a greater device)?
Instance: I believe I’ve my bandsaw setup fairly properly. I can use it to chop alongside traces to make issues like templates (from 1/2″ mdf or comparable)… I’ve efficiently made a number of bandsaw containers. However, at any time when I strive resawing (wish to make e book matches) I at all times run into points and should plan on a number of “post-cut milling.” I wish to strive making shop-sawn veneers, however given how a lot I lose in that course of, I don’t assume I’ll have a lot success. The principle distinction I see (between success and failure) is the peak of the reduce (patterns are ~1/2″, containers have been like 2-3 inches, however resawing for e book match is extra like 6-8 inches). Possibly at 6-8″ of hardwood I’m simply asking an excessive amount of of my bandsaw.
