Nick Engler (Workshop Companion) Resawing Logs

[John Morris]

I was just kicking around YouTube this morning watching others do their craft, from weaving, to boat building, to pottery, I really love watching others in the different fields of craft do their work.

Then Nick Engler's video caught my eye, it wasn't necessarily the subject of resawing on a bandsaw, I've done that plenty of times before, but he did it on his Shopsmith bandsaw.

 

So I watched it through, and I dunno, I just enjoyed it, his technique is very familiar to me, basically the same technique I used when I had a dedicated bandsaw, but he did teach me a few things like how to tightly band the stack of green boards together for seasoning, I liked his wire block twisty wire method, very cool.

I'll let you all find his follow up video for using those boards a year later if you are so inclined, but here is his take on resawing a relatively good sized log on our Shopsmith bandsaws. Thanks Nick!

I'd never heard of this guy, but after watching both segments I will probably be looking up more of his videos. He's GOOD! Explains everything without a lot of wasted time. I learned a few things already! Thanks, John.

Ya I liked him too John! Pretty basic guy, doesn't get wrapped up into himself like so many of these YouTubers can.

I've randomly seen a few of his videos. I agree, no hype, not trying to be a stand up comic, just a good ole woodworker wanting to share his experiences. He is a very good presenter. I thought this video was very well done.
