I haven’t used my old 80’s model Craftsman 12 inch band saw and decided to make a set of Adirondack chairs for my son. I gave my saw a good checkout, luckily I saved the owners manual. The wheel tires were original so I purchased 2 new neoprene tires and won the stretch battle installing them. I went step by step on the setup and happily the saw works like if did in the 80’s. Thanks for the video and inspiring uses.

I’m 15 gonna be 16 this summer. I’m gonna buy my first bandsaw once I have enough money. This video helped so much. Before I bought a coping saw I was using my dad’s table saw to cut notches and I was praying that my friends who wanted the notches only needed one side to be shown. Using my coping saw I still am not a big fan of to cut big notches because of how fast it will go through and because after cutting 2 notches my arms are hurting. So a bandsaw will be great. I’m finding videos too see how to change blades, easy tips, and others. The first time I used a bandsaw was in 7th grade when I was making a Co2 race car. And that was basically cut out 2 curves

GREAT use of the listener’s time with tons of understandable, practical tips. Thank you!

I’m a DIYer that does 1-2 projects a month at most, and I found that a lot of projects I need require a band saw. I kept my eye out for a used one but couldn’t find a decent deal and but the bullet on a brand new Ryobi. It’s not the best band saw but having a band saw has been an amazing addition to my collection.

I gritted my teeth so hard when he introduced resawing at 2:28, and the captions called it "Resoling a Riesling[...]". and several references later to resawing saw funny things like "Reese all", "Every stalling", and "wrestling".

This video is basically a recap/refresher for most of a bandsaw class in a trade school, and then some. A fantastic video with great ideas. A few cuts would have had one of my teachers dock a few points when the hands were needlessly close to the blade. It was a great, clean, video to watch. Only thing I can remember from school that would add to this are bandsaw boxes.

I've just recently acquired a band saw which I've wanted for a long time. This video has opened my eyes to a lot when it comes to what mine should be capable of. Thank you for a great video mate 👍🏼👍🏼

I would love to have a bandsaw like that! I am currently restoring an old (scrapped) model, replacing bearings on the wheels as well as dried up rubbers and the drive belt. Will be interesting to see see how it performs once completed.

This video is really helpful in giving me a clear picture of the versatility that the bandsaw offers especially as a novice DIY retiree ! 😊 Tim

Brad, one of the reasons I like your videos, is you tell me when a corporation has sponsored and what they’ve done. Mainly because your good at what you do and how you explain. Thanks!

Man, this gentleman has my dream workshop! Hopefully I’ll have a similar set up in the next 5 years or so. That’d be awesome!

I was just about to buy a G0555 on CL when my wife said "why do you need to buy a bandsaw?" Brad, you're an angel! Perfect timing!

[gbabybrahs]

Was just given a band saw for free. Can’t wait to use it.
