Looking to build a stand like this:


Adding a set of dual lock casters to the bottom....

Thank you. After cutting out 6 stocking ornaments with a coping saw I had to do something....

Picked up this RIKON 10" Deluxe at Klingspor today. Now I need to build a stand....

[PHolder]

Thank you all! This helps....

[PHolder]

Thank you. I tend to over think simple things....

What do y'all use for loops in top of ornaments. I've seen 5mm screw eyes. I've also heard of using the shaft portion of bait holder fish hooks( with barbs on the shaft) jammed into the top.
I'm carving stocking ornaments for my family who bought me my first carving class for Christmas last year....

Waiting on my bandsaw to go on sale at the end of the month during the annual 'extravaganza'.

I have seen jigs in articles and books that assist in ripping blocks into triangles for ornaments.
They mention using a table saw to cut the 45 degree slot down the middle. I don't have...

Question.
If you are cutting thinner material such as 3/8, do you use the same 3/16" blade with a higher tooth count?

It seems to have the features of the larger bandsaws without but at a better price. This is hitting up against my budget and...

When I retire to Central TN (current plan) I will miss the mountains....

When we were under a stay at home order, used to watch a lot of Doug Linker's videos. He does a good job teaching.
I've enjoyed the last 30 years in NC. We have the beaches and the mountains. Take your pick. Just don't settle on a particular season. 70 degrees at Thanksgiving and snow during...

Thank you. I really can't tell you what I'd like to do. Right now I'm working on some ornaments for those who bought me the class. I've had several requests for comfort birds and an elephant. I'd like to be able to do caricature faces like wizards and such. I guess I'll lead where it follows...

[PHolder]

Thank you for the warm welcome. I've looked at the 9 inch bandsaws but am afraid I would need something larger. Thank you for putting that to rest.

I am agonizing looking at a 10 inch WEN and a 10 inch RIKON.
The WEN is $90 cheaper than the RIKON and comes with a stand and a light....

Hello all,
I'm a new carver. My family had bought me a beginners course for Christmas last year. Carved a ball from a block, a boot, mailbox, comfort bird, and the ball in a cage. Loved it and I am now part of the local club. I have enjoyed reading the discussion here so far. I have a couple...
