My Latest Bandsaw Box
Hi again folks, just wanted to share with you my latest bandsaw box. It is made from huon pine, the top section being a lot older, and the base being freshly milled. The handles are made from cedar.
This is the last project in the book that I referred to earlier, I think this is more of a "conversation/showpiece", than a trinket box. However you would still fit small items into the drawers.

What blade do you use to cut such tight curves in thick wood?

Blades,...!
Hey there Dave,
I am currently using a 1/8th blade, a very fine blade, not sure how many tpi, but quite a few. I just ordered a couple of 3/16th blades with 10 tpi, as I have broken a couple of my finer blades on some very thick sassafrass. And will see if this does the job any better.
Take it easy there,...!

Nice. Reminds me of a mother mongoose sitting back to back with a small mongoose. ( Would that be 'mongeese'? lol )

Bandsaw blades
Hi Paul 49
I make bandsawn boxes here in New Zealand from Swamp Kauri and use a 13mm by 4tpi to cut off the backs and a 4mm by 6tpi for the internal cutting. I found that the 4mm by 10tpi heated up a bit in trying to exhaust the sawdust.

Great box Paul, I hope you don't mind if I borrow the idea. Keep up the good work.
