Bandsawing Duplicate Parts
Oct 25, 2005
To bandsaw multiples of intricate wooden-toy parts, I stack several blanks together with double-sided tape between. The tape holds firm during bandsawing, drilling and edge-sanding operations. Double-sided tape eliminates nail holes, replaces awkward clamps and reduces layout time (lines need be drawn only once). Pans are easily separated by inserting a chisel into the tape joint and tapping lightly.
