      Bandsaw blade is to far in on bottom and to close on top wheel and wobbly in all directions I just want to cut templates

        Don't want to be clucky, but Please take good care of yourself, mate, and keep those machines in a good maintenance state!
        Whenever I hear the words "bandsaw" or "table saw" they start to show a movie in my inner cinema. Just that it is more an documentation than a slasher-movie to me, as I am a trained nurse, U see?

        We do try to share it here but we all have our own ideas and yes there's many of us that makes them but most of us do it for the love of making them and really not the business and if we did we would be all disappointed as only a few ever make a dime doing it. Good post though because the more shared the better.

      Resources! Resources! Love the resources section. Be nice to see it grow with some of the most popular of slings. Then again, maybe not?

      Do pouch dies work good? Are they worth it? Any good videos on making lots of hand made pouches at once by hand?

        fill the holes with plastic wood, let it cure for several days and redrill or fill the holes with epoxy and saw dust and redrill. It can be saved !!

        It was after I oiled it up I used 2000 grit. Tried to use steel wool after to remove it. Maybe only 400 grit next time?

        In Mexico there is also an emergence of slingshot manufacturers that handle very low prices. But I have also seen that the price-quality ratio is direct: low price = low quality

        I can't say for sure but it is very strong. Micarta is a rather general term. What will you be laminating? Cloth, paper....

        I made some from burlap and used it for a small pickle fork.
        For that type of frame and stress it ought to last a few centuries :)
        Half an inch thick
