Through Dovetails on the Bandsaw | Advanced Bandsaw Techniques Part 4

[@crispeybear]

looks like it’s a good reason not to cut dovetails on the bandsaw!

[@vileguile4]

Why wait for the band saw to stop? Safety issue?

[@NitFlickwick]

Sleepydog for this video, so no lawyers come knocking. In general, though, pulling back on the work piece while the blade is moving can pull the blade forward off the wheel if it binds since there is no thrust bearing. Not really an issue on a straight 3/4" cut, but a real possibility if you are cutting curves.

@@NitFlickwick Ah i see. Im so used seing people going backwards when they make complex figures. Thanks for reply!

[@juleswebb1885]

@@NitFlickwick i pull back with long curved cuts no problem. If you got a feel for your bandsaw, you will detect the beginnings of a 'catch' when backing out of a cut, and get past it with a subtle wiggle of the workpiece, with a bias toward the waste side of the cut to maintain accuracy : )

[@frankbennett8877]

I would be afraid to go near those joints in case I fell in.

[@mergrew0110]

I always have great respect for any one with white hair, but if he actually thought those were great dovetails, perhaps he should take up needlework!

[@ryanketrow3602]

sorry, but it actually looks easier with a hand saw.

[@juleswebb1885]

...and probably more accurate! Those dovetails weren't that tidy

[@clarissepotriquet7451]

Wow that amazing! Why 7 degrees please? Could I do it with my scroll saw as I don't own a band saw?

[@FCADurgeshKumar]

Tell something about woods you are using while demonstration as a caption.

[@jackcrockett9144]

Why tilt the table twice? Why not flip the board over? 2 adjustments to the equipment would decrease accuracy.

[@garriv777]

There is more real estate between those lines than I got with my home!

[@garychristiansen508]

Instead of tilting the table the other direction to finish the 2nd dovetail cuts couldn't you just flip the board over? Nice video! Thanks!

[@brucewelty7684]

I am not "the Guy" but one drawback about flipping the material is that you have to layout the cuts twice. That can induce error but it will allow the marking lines visible on the viewing side of your piece.

Sad that it has come to this, love ya Scott but there is room for improvement. Sorry you have to schlep these tools. Pop Wood is just a ember of the fire it once was,sadness reigns. Chuck B. ,Robert L,Gleen H, miss ya.

[@garriv777]

Like Arnold once said to one of his opponents: " I could drive my Hummer through that hole "......lol

[@alfredneumann4692]

Never seen a bandsaw, which can tilt to -7 degrees.

[@samehdarawshi3537]

practical but not the best and precise finish! gap is seen very clearly but still a good idea in case you r willing to compromise below 100% clean finish, on other side I think angle of the band saw can be better adjusted and depth of cutting to eliminate the gap and get better fit. thanks for the idea of using the bandsaw!

[@samanthathanikelin1782]

Easy piesy , Thanks.

[@lizpsz1]

Why shut it off after each cut. Why not split the line? Relief cuts at the same time enable faster chiselling. I only use the bandsaw for tails; pins require handsaw accuracy. I've been doing this for decades. Also, I've discovered small pins have greater finesse.

[@ingwiefreak]

Really!

[@waynegoff3776]

A Leigh dove tail jig will make you throw that band saw away

[@MikeBramm]

Come on Scott. You can do way better than that. Are you going to fill those gaps with #20 biscuits?

[@michaelking2910]

Shockingly bad 😂

[@juanmanuelgarcia199]

Yikes.... maybe he was having a bad day.

[@gguessyah]

Just another poorly executed sales job by Scott. For a much better approach, see Stumpy Numbs bandsawn dovetails vid at kzbin.info/www/bejne/m3uUoYhsqtxnhac

[@romeliapolly2519]

Stodoys is full of awesome tips. Very helpful to me.

[@marka9292]

I'm unsubscribing because of this. Awful workmanship.

[@Dan-jq8se]

Scott....you're better than this!!!!!

[@gguessyah]

Dan: Based on the TV show, no he is not. I had to finally deprogram it because I spent the entire show yelling about what he screwed up. The better cut-stuff is always something pulled from off-screen to show. His actual cuts shown live, stink. He is selling equipment on the show, not techniques nor skill.

[@crestonsimpson1370]

that did not look appealing to the eyes

[@mhaz49]

Yep, all the below comments. Pretty bad. Mr Klaus never chopped through full thickness in one go: half through on one side, then half through on the other.
