Disappointed to try Elisha’s popsicle stick cutting board…Michael’s were not color throughout
the slightest bit of sanding as she suggested went to raw wood. Her pictures of the 45 cut shows color throughout. Will try another design.

Hello Steve,
Please let us know if you have any further questions

It shouldn’t be burning. If you are using a fence for your cuts, try it without the fence to see if it still burns. If it doesn’t, then I’d say you have a fence alignment problem. If you are not using the fence and it is burning, I’d suggest trying a fresh blade. A new 4 TPI blade should work, but a 2 or 3 TPI blade would be less prone to burning. I use a 2 TPI blade for most everything, and while it leaves the wood a bit rough, it’s like getting a horsepower upgrade for your bandsaw, and it runs a lot cooler than higher tooth count blades.

In reply to Eric hansen.

Hello Eric,
Here’s what the experts had to say about your question:

I asked an engineer who worked at a glue company about that one time and he said that PVA glue has its best working characteristics in terms of smoothness and consistency for the first couple years, but he said that it can form a bond that is stronger than wood for many years. He said that as long as it is still in a liquid state, it can still form a strong bond and it doesn’t pose a risk of breaking down after it cures in a project.

My shop is only 14′ X 28′ so I would like to incorporate a bench, (such as the one that we see on your monthly stream), as an out feed from my table saw. Does WWGOA have plans for that particular bench?

When using the bandsaw with a 4 TPI blade, cutting 1 1/2″ thick hickory, there is always burning on the wood.
Any suggestions to prevent the burning of the hickory? Burning is not a problem with Oak & other woods.

What advice would you suggest for one who is just starting out in their own shop using reclaimed pallet wood to start with?

I heard Titebond glue has a useful life of 2 years. I have used Titebond that is… maybe… 10 years old. Are my projects in danger of falling apart? (I have since bought new glue!!!)
