Last week there was a thread about bandsaw blades and I mentioned I bought a Timberwolf AS-S series for resawing a bunch of red oak. Well, today I got started on that project. What a sweet blade that is! I took care to set up the bandsaw properly. I used a Clamp'N Tool guide as a fence and a Rigid magnetic Feather Board from Home Depot to keep things in line. It went a smooth as silk. I have a bunch more to do, but I am now looking forward to it.
Favorite tools? I love the blade, but I also love the feather boards. So much so, that I popped another $30 for a second one. There is another thread about affording woodworking. Some things I cannot afford to be without. Anything that makes things easier, faster, safer, also makes them more predictable and accurate, thus increasing my sense of well-being. Little things like clamps, feather boards, saw blades, and a gazillion other goodies in the shop are a whole lot less expensive and a ton more fun than the counselor's couch!
So what are some of your favorite, don't want to life without tools? I have a lot more, but I don't want to pig out on band width.
