Anybody tried the "Lidded Box & Bookmark" project in #197 issue of Woodsmith mag.? Resawing 1/16", 1/32" thicknesses, etc???
For that matter, anyone wanna render opinion(s) of Woodsmith projects over the years?
Willie
Didn't build the box, but did use the resaw technique for the coaster project in that issue. Worked fine.
Didja have to run out and buy the $70 thin-kerf blade? I tried a
1/16" walnut piece with std blade and filled the house with smoke.
No, I had a 24 tooth thin kerf Freud Diablo blade. Cut 6/4 walnut and cherry like buttah. I used a Highland Hardware 1/2" woodslicer on the bandsaw to cut the coasters off the blank. Also cut like buttah with no drift or lead.
Must be nice ... to be properly equipped.
Thx, Willie
--FWIW I've done several of their projects. The most useful is the folding router table with split tabletop clamping accessory. I use it for everything and it does store neatly. Only thing I changed was the height of the folding legs, which I increased by maybe 6". Oh, and I used some surplus linear bearings to make the fence slide parallel..
