when i did my apprenticeship (i am a joiner) my i guess u would call master used to tell me storys about when he did his apprenticeship his master was a bit blind so he would grow his thumb nail extra long and use that when he was useing a bandsaw and so when the blade hit his thumb nail he knew he had cut threw to the right part on the wood

I thought it was gonna be a pony.
That guy's nuts. You oughta see what you gotta do to mod your bandsaw to do that stuff. It's crazy.
I can cut a piece of wood in half with mine.

That guy is nuts! At first I thought it would be like a MAD TV skit about the guy who maims himself with power tools.

wow just wow

Not the expected outcome I had expected. None the less, very impressive!

And like everybody else, if I had attempted to do the same I probably would of end up short a few digits of the normal ten!

I have a feeling he has done that at least once before -

Impressive -

That guy has skills. Wow.

markem · 06-20-2009, 11:47 AM

That was very cool, thanks for the link. My brother freehands ducks and loons out of wood on his band saw, but they aren't quite as intricate and he isn't as fast. I think it takes him about 5 minutes to complete one.

Cool.

boom · 06-20-2009, 12:39 PM

Amazing!!!!

The Poet · 06-20-2009, 12:45 PM

Let's see him do that after a few shots!

awsmith4 · 06-20-2009, 12:57 PM
