Popular Post Bmac Posted November 5, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 Whenever I'm doing a Maloof piece I always search the web for info and pointers. I ran across this video. I don't do this yet with my arms, but that is some impressive bandsawing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave H Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I saw a video of his technique years ago and, although I've never made a rocker or for one minute think I'm even in his category of craftsmanship I have used this sawing method however ham handed it's very useful for sculpting things. Also Jimmy Diresta uses a technique that I have adopted of drawing the object backwards across the blade and, the band saw acts like a rasp depending on the angle the piece is being drawn back it gets more aggressive or less aggressive. Thanks for sharing, Sam was an amazing craftsman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good tip, but if done a lot on only one side, there is a danger of dulling the teeth on that side of the blade, which could lead to drift issues.

RichardA Posted November 5, 2019 Report Share Posted November 5, 2019 I think I'd be changing shorts several times if I tried that. But what a master. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 6, 2019 Report Share Posted November 6, 2019 Really amazing! I’d have a mess of firewood if that were me and several less appendages. Thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronn W Posted November 7, 2019 Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Very impressive, what skill. I wonder how many guide lines he had drawn on the piece or maybe just a lot of experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
