No way could I do that for eight hours.

I got bored about thirty seconds in.

He'd be several cuts past the mistake before he missed that thumb.

His thumb would be wrapped and shipped by then.

Alton Brown would be doing a special on cooking the thumb by then.

Thumb removal would have become popular with everyone's parents by then, while all the kids would have already moved on to the latest trend of waxed butt moustaches.

Salvation Armys across the nation would be full up with thumbs by then, waiting for a surge from ironic hipsters.

You'll be able to buy over the counter thumb removal CRISPR technology at gas stations and mini marts next to the no-doz, butt mustache wax, and condoms.

Sorry glatt, didn't mean to derail your build thread, just add a little levity.
Now back to the fantastic build.

Fuck that shit, it's thumb jokes until he gets his lazy ass down to the shop and starts building that cover that he is avoiding.


I'm half tempted to start a thread, "Building a bandsaw on the cheap from mostly detached thumbs" but I'm too busy procrastinating.

I did a little work a few weeks ago and need to update this thread. It's slow going though, because I'm running in to problems again where the plans don't match my saw as built. And I have trouble visualizing the piece I'm making and how it fits with the saw until after I have made the piece and it doesn't fit. Then I can see what needed to be wider or longer, or whatever.

Back at the beginning of the month on October 2nd, I dug around for a nice scrap of quarter inch plywood to serve as the most visible part of the saw. The upper wheel cover. It will feel good to have this cover in place because that big spinning wheel of death is just a couple of inches from my nose as I use the saw.

I cut it to shape on the table saw except for the very last inch or two of the inside corner. For that, I went over to my BANDSAW to cut it out.

I cut the first simple edge board to length and glued it in place

The next edge board has a little notch cut out of it to make space for the blade guide, which slides up and down.

Derailments like this one are one of my favorite things about the Cellar.

I mean, who woulda thunk we coulda got this much levity out of a simple thumb comment.

You guys rock.

Nah. No worries. Have fun in the thread. I'll get it back on the track when I am ready. I enjoyed showing the meat video to my kids.

There is a saying about procrastination. One day I'll look it up.
