Nick Engler (Workshop Companion) Resawing Logs
John Morris posted a topic in Shopsmith Pride and Use
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!- 5 replies

This has been a busy and productive week on the shop expansion. Monday, we got the rafters all marked and cut and first thing Tuesday Morning we them all in place and nailed down. Monday afternoon we got most of the full sheets of decking up, but I had to go back and get more decking, boy did I miss that calculation. I had help both Monday and Tuesday but Wednesday I was by myself to finish this up I build the eves on each end so I could finish putting up the decking. I got all the pieces filled in and just had to take the skill saw and trim off the over hang. At this point I had it all done except where it tied in to the old roof. I had been lucky to this point, no rain. So I got busy and finished up the tie in section and all the decking was down and I was wasted. It was in the 90's with a heat index of 105 and me on the roof. But I got the cut and fit and all was good and I was hoping that it wouldn't rain till after I could get it in the dry. So today it was again hot as soon as I got up and I started by getting the decking that was hanging over cut off and them snapped me a chalk line to start the first run of roofing paper. Once again I missed calculated how much I needed. So back to the store to get another roll of paper. My plan was to stop here as it was already 93 and I was soaked. Something told me I better get back up there and finish it out so I did. It was a good thing I went on and put down those last two rows because a coupe of hours later we had a rain storm blow up. So it has been tested and it was dry in the new part and in the old shop. Man am I thankful I got back on the roof and finished it out. So now I can take a small break and get ready to put down shingles but I am going to do them early and late and stay out of the heat as much as I can. Thanks for following along.
