First batch of production blanks this season. Started these over a week ago but lots of rainy days, grand kids sports, Dr appts, yadayada…. still plenty to go. Nuf work for now, finally a nice day so going to relax in the sun.

Love all that wood and the great view from your shop. Just wondering if you free hand cut those rounds or do you have a fixture on the bandsaw?

Cut freehand, 3/8“ 4tpi blade on a 14” bandsaw
I have trouble turning sometimes but I'm using 1/2" x 3 tpi. Might switch when I need more bands.

John I wish I could saw on the line like that! I use a 3/8” x 3 tpi but I think I need to slow down my feed speed to stay on the line better.
