Working With Wood Continued
This operation doesn't take long but this blade sure
does cut differently than the one I used on my first bandsaw box. Here's
what I mean, with only 4 teeth per inch, it wants to rip
through this wood like butter. That's the good news, but the bad news is
that it's not as forgiving as the other blade that had 14 teeth per
inch. All this adds up to me going very slowly and trying to follow the
line as carefully as I can. I may want to look into a eight or 10 tooth
blade if I make another bandsaw box.

Now it's time to do.....more sanding. I
switched over to the 1/2" drum for the drawers.
|
|
 |
The fronts and backs to the drawers were too small for my DA sander so
these were done by hand.
|
|
 |
Once the sanding was finished I glued the drawers back together.
|
|
 |
The next day I sanded both drawers which didn't take long, and then I
finished them with more hand work.
|
|
 |
|
Again my oscillating sander won't go high enough
to reach the top here. That meant I had to turn the carcass over like I
did before. Once I had it close, I did the rest of the sanding by hand.
|
|
 |
I'm going to do one more cut on the bandsaw to produce some feet so I've
laid out some lines below.
|
|
 |
I quickly found out that my work piece didn't sit square so I added some
1/4" shims to both sides.
|
|
 |
There we go...much better now. Whatever works you know...
|
|
 |
A few minutes later I had four small feet to rest the box on.
