Hey Alex, I am glad to see your growth on youtube, I still remember binging all of your content back at 16k subscribers. I would love to see a faq video from you about your origin, design process or anything related to your making process. You've been such a fresh breath of air in the maker community and many of your fans would like to know more about you. Just a though. Keep up the stellar work!

Some finer points: You could mention that the drilled holes need to be centered on the front of the blade’s tooth (as you did). If they’re behind or in front of the tooth, the blade will want to track outside or inside the true circle. Also, on mine I added an adjustable bolt on the stop block for fine adjustment for different blades so alignment as to my first comment is possible.

Hi Alexandre, I love what you do and your thought process behind your ideas.
In a future video I would love to see how you draft and create some of your 3D printed projects on Fusion360.
Many thanks,
Vj

I didn't watch this video for a while because I thought it would be a really simple and basic bandsaw jig tutorial, but it actually turned out to be a really entertaining and high-quality video. Dude, great video and overall work, keep it up!

I was kinda confused when I saw u using this in ur previous projects, now I fully understand, I will try this in future and tag u on Insta. Thanks Alexandre, great work. Love from India.

I’m always impressed with the parts you 3D print. I would love to see your process for designing your 3D printed parts! Things like material thickness, tolerances, tricks to reduce supports, etc. would be super useful to learn :)

now that will be handy, and rather easy to make, now all we need is the bandsaw

[parrot]

coo love it. Next challenge though. Making a circle without making a hole in the middle

I love your videos so much that I wait every week for the time I have to watch YouTube to watch yours I wish you uploaded more videos even tho for what u do u upload a lot but you can do smaller vids or blogs?

[jonpalange]

I had a circle cutting jig years before watching this video. But sir, I've never watched one of your videos without being entertained and learning something.

The circle you cut looks like Jupiter! Nicely done👍

[Diemermakes]

Excellent! We just got a band saw, and I have a small circular table top that was cut by the previous owner in a rough approximation of a circle. Now I have a good idea of how I can clean up the edges and finish it off!

[rijdat]

Thanks, this is very useful, just what I needed just now, and I now have several very nice circles in plywood

So simply, and more important, it works!!! Great video!!

[EnsignLovell]

This is pretty awesome, I love how you went into further detail about it! I also think this is the first video in a long time with no 3D printing or hours of polishing required. 😅

[tamsanh]

Wow. So straight forward (round forward) and simple. This was such a great tutorial!

[johnvodopija]

Wow. That was a lot easier to make that I thought. I’ll be making on of these to my jig collection. Thank you 👍😎🇦🇺

[francescocastagnetti]

One of my favorite makers. Keep going!!

I would love to see a video on how you do your 3D printer time lapses!
