Very nice! Several years ago I made a similar plywood sled to allow me to quarter saw logs for making thin panels for ukulele front, backs and sides. Though it worked, sort of, it was a pain to screw down the log. Eventually I purchased the Little Ripper from Stockroom Supply and that worked munch better than my home built sled. Your jig has a longer base and I think that was wise.. Thanks for sharing!
timely vid for me. thanks. Just getting handle on my 10-347. Have you sawed with cut piece to the outside? Off subject, the lindens I have in my yard are cheap entertainment during flowering period. Have counted over 15 different insects on them. Record honey harvest have been from the basswood also. Great tree.
I found this just in time. Had two much smaller than your log branches break off of a tree. Now going to try to get some piece of wood from, yep, wood. Also going to be turning the smaller branches into dowels. Found another video on how to do that. I guess I'm set. Thanks.
Very nice, thank you--I just wonder if there isn't some way of fastening the log to the sled that doesn't involve 3 inch screws, so in the end the finished boards (at least the ones adjacent to the first cuts) don't have screw holes in them. But thank you--it's about time I did something with that cherry log in my garage!

Great presentation Sir, this is the correct way to approach building a log sled for a large bandsaw. Many thanks!

Nicely done - thanks!
Great video! Vary clear.
put infeed and out feed rollers slightly higher than the table and that'll make pushing the heavy log through a breeze.

I debated that but ultimately used the screws because it was the easiest way to get the job done.
A "THUMBS UP" for this video !! Thank You !
Nice job. Wish you were my neighbor.
Basswood or linden is the sweetest wood l have ever carved good luck.
I carved some of it last fall and it was beautiful! Air-dried is even better than kiln-dried for hand-tool use.
what was the wrong blade? I'm curious.
