    This little band saw has turned out to be the best tool purchase I've ever made th-cam.com/users/postUgkx5ZrqmYO2uJq_nuU8TopyWxVzn8vqmPUL Once doing the set-up as per the included suggestions, this table top tool has been my go-to saw ever since (8 months as of this review). There are few things I wouldn't attempt with this saw. It takes up much less space than my table saw yet delivers twice as much punch. I've used it to create slices of wood no thicker than an 1/16th of inch by using the POWERTEC BS900RF Rip Fence. For small shop projects this tool can't be beat.

    I remember doing this with a friend about 35 years ago. He was a butcher with a compulsive fascination for personal, pan-economic issues (efficient and cheap). Butchers have powerful bandsaws and the blades are kept sharp to save labour. It produced 6-7, 10" wide pine veneers very quickly. The bandsaw and shop were being cleaned immediately afterwards...

    For most furniture applications, they are certainly strong enough. I believe one of the magazines did a test that showed the traditional m&t joint faring the best. But if one joint handles 500lbs and another handles 400lbs, does it matter if all it will ever receive is 100lbs? That's sort of the logic I use when I approach joinery choices.

    Great video as usual, Marc! This is going to save me some money- I am about to remodel my kitchen using hardwood flooring, and doing this should save quite a bit of loot over buying veneer floor slats. Just make it a little thicker and cut a tongue and groove and it should work out nice. Thanks again!

    I like your simple home made set up, especially the featherboard stack.
    I make a small band saw power feeder in kit form (mine is usable on table saws and router tables too) that would make this kind of work easier yet, providing steady feed as slow as you need.

    @woodwhisperer  11 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    With a finely-tuned bandsaw, you can get pretty darn thin. But the thinner you go, the more difficult it is. So I usually like to stay in the 1/8" or 3/32" range.

  • @missionron

  • @woodwhisperer
    @woodwhisperer  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    @papadonto8 You can do it with any wood, really. That's what makes veneering so great. You can take any wood you want and make it last a long time. Or make an entire table top from one piece of wood. And in your case, re-skin a door. If you do decide to do a bunch of these doors, you may want to look into vacuum press.

    yes that would work quite well as a floating panel. i dont want to arguee. its just interesting to see how every woodworker dose thing slightly different then the next. I studyed with Mark Paddison threw Humber College in Toronto. keep up the videos, i do like your design taste, how many people work in that shop?

  • @woodwhisperer
    @woodwhisperer  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    You can effectively resaw veneer on a basic 14" bandsaw. I know MANY folks who do it. Select the right blade, tune up the saw, and you're good to go.

  • @woodwhisperer
    @woodwhisperer  14 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    @dchamberss Usually I just use what I have on hand. I don't consider the strength differences between I, II, and III to be dramatic enough to justify stocking them all and using them selectively based on strength. So I base my decisions on what I have on hand at the time and how much water the piece will see.
    As for my training, I worked with David Marks for a short time, and I spent about a year working in a refinishing shop. The rest (most) is self-training and studying.

  • @Jazzwayze
    @Jazzwayze 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Using this veneering tech you could make two of any project out of the same amount of solid wood. That's the point. Veneers in days really gone by were much thicker than the 'toilet-tissue' we get these days, so this is a way of making your timber go further, plus you can clean up with a plane afterwards. Try that with modern veneers.

  • @woodwhisperer

    @missionron yeah replacing tires is a real pain in the butt!

  • @woodwhisperer
    @woodwhisperer  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    It really depends on how well-tuned your drum sander is. I know guys who have it so well tuned that they pretty much make paper thin sheets of veneer just for fun. So You can pretty much go as thin as you dare.

  • @joe65968
    @joe65968 15 ปีที่แล้ว

    generally when i use veener i vacuume press it with a solids glued on the edge of my substraight that way my veneer covers both the substraight and the solid edging, leaving a clean edge. with 1/8" or 3/16" veneer the endgrain of the veneer is much more noticable. i guess that apeals to some to look good.

  • @synapse131
    @synapse131 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    Some hobby stores sell several types of wood (mahogany, walnut, cherry, etc.) in 2 ft. lengths that are 3 inches wide in a number of different thicknesses (1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 3/16, 1/4, 5/16, and 3/8 in.); which is close to the same size as you can do on a table saw. And they aren't very expensive (usually less than $2 each.) The only drawback is that you can't get the nice figure and grain patterns as you might from a home sawn veneer. You just have to find the right store.

  • @woodwhisperer
    @woodwhisperer  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    Generally anything less than 1/8" is considered veneer. Treating the end grain using home sawn veneer is no different than when you use any other veneer. You still need to cover up the ugly substrate. At around 3/32", these thick veneers are quite stable even over wide surfaces. And I agree that you would want to veneer both sides to maintain equilibrium.

  • @papadonto8
    @papadonto8 14 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can you do the same thing with 2X6 and 2X4 since my idea is to buy slab doors and veneer them with natural wood designs. I don't have a band saw but my friend does. Any tips on this? Also thanks for your answer on my previous question.

  • @woodwhisperer
    @woodwhisperer  11 ปีที่แล้ว

    It isn't ideal, but you can cut thin pieces at the tablesaw. Might need so add-ons to make it safe though. And you won't be able to do really wide pieces.

What is the widest boards I can do consistently or can you go as high as the machine can allow? Have you seen a horizontal bandsaw and is it better to go with this or a normal bandsaw for the job I described. Thanks for a good video!

  • @woodwhisperer
    @woodwhisperer  15 ปีที่แล้ว

    I agree that 1/8"-3/16" would give a pretty noticeable border. I suppose some might like it. But the veneer I am talking about in this video is bandsawn at about 1/8" and sanded down to 3/32". Thats starting to get thin enough that the endgrain becomes less and less of an issue.
    But ultimately, to each his own. Many folks just trim out the veneered board after the veneering is done, which gives a noticeable border regardless of the veneer thickness. And same thing when making panels.

    i dont consider that a veneer. it is rather thick and what do you do with the end grain? (say on a table top) glued to a sub-straight it could be quite unstable and it is not economical givin that with that thickness of veneer. both sides of the sub-straight will be required to be veneered in order to maintain stability. thats my position. Mean whyle commercial veneers can often be quite thin.

      Nice thing about that saw is the blade front loads.

  • @sirgreggins8824
    @sirgreggins8824 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    honestly, it's actually not much cheaper. I wanted to cut my own out of an ebony board. But Stewmac has pre-radiused and slotted fingerboards. Saves a lot of time and headache knowing that it's accurate. you can cut a 3/8" thick piece from a board an mill it flat to clean it up then cut the slots and then use a radius block and some 60 grit paper to get the radius but believe me with the price of ebony Stewmac is way better. everything's done for you and you know it'll be accurate

      Where do you live? In the US, you can just order them on Amazon. With a $10k budget you'll have a really awesome shop, but not quite like Marc's. Just that bandsaw you see in the video is over $4000. But perfectly decent brands like Grizzly or Rikon are already a lot less, and there is a flourishing market for used tools. In other countries, your mileage may vary. Some countries do not have anywhere near the stock of quality used tools floating around that you find in the US, and in some places imported tools are sold at ridiculous markups (sometimes due to tariffs). Check out youtubers like Matthias Wandel, John Heisz, and "stumpy nubs" for some great homemade tool designs.

    • @woodwhisperer
      @woodwhisperer  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      You want a planed surface from a bandsaw? Not going to happen. :) By glue-ready I simply mean free of ridges and the washboard effect. The surface might still be rough to some extent. Keep in mind, glue ready is not the same as finish ready. As for width, the bandsaw should be able to handle whatever width you can fit under it. But the wider the board, the more stress on the saw and the more perfect your setup needs to be.

      I cut my own "veneers" for acoustic guitar tops which finish at about 4mm. A fingerboard would probably be thicker to allow for the fret cuts. For thinner veneer on say a cabinet door I drum sand to about 3mm, glue the veneer onto its panel, then sand the panel if I want the veneer thinner.
