Well, if that ain't monopolising a forum, then whut is it??

You could say i sacrificed buying some awesome tonewood but it's been a year that i've been waiting to buy me this, i have already talked about it in another thread and promised i'd show pics, i also thought i'd share how happy i am!

Here's my bran new BANDSAW! Ridgid 14" with 3/4 hp, i bought the riser block that will be delivered next week!

















Sorry if i had too much pics of the same thing, i must have a compulsive disorder of some sort!

Cool! Keep it your friend... Drop the guard down just over the wood... and have fun

Good for you Serge. You deserve it. Joe's right keep the upper guides just above the wood your cutting. Much safer.

Nice buy Serge. Resawing is really rewarding. I love cutting into a nice piece of wood, unless I find unwanted surprises inside.
Have fun my friend.

I now have tool envy.

On the upside, my parents just bought a house up here, close by-ish, and I've laid claim to the (bone-dry) shed at the end of the 'garden'. So, yeah, bandsaw, here I come!

*goes to eye up some Scheppach and second-hand Italian saws...*

But now, you can cut your own tonewood. There has been at
least two occasions where I've pulled good quality B&S sets
out of a board for an investment on the order of $15-20/set. That's a growing part of my stash. The riser block is your friend

Don't forget

When resawing the guide is way up and a lot of blade is exposed. be sure that you have no distractions, and you keep those fingers clear. Use push sticks and blocks anytime that you're anywhere near the blade. It's hard to play your guitar with missing fingers.

I've been wanting one of these bandsaws for a while! I have a freind
locally who has one with a riser block installed and the machine cuts so
smooth! Congrats..it's well worth a night on the couch!
