Aww, thank you for the extra Jump Stewart 😊, hopefully we will meet again next Year. Greetings from Bavaria . Enjoy your new Bandsaw, so sorry your Bowl got destroyed :(
You'll enjoy that bandsaw, a very versatile machine. I'd send over a bunch of wood for you to resaw, but you'd probably put paint all over it, so I'll save the shipping fees. I once got a cherry log from a friend. I cut it to length at his place, put it in my van and drove 45 minutes home. My van smelled wonderful for a few days. It is a joy to turn. Too bad about the bowl, but you got to make some wonderful shavings, and some days that's enough.
Congrats on the new bandsaw! I have had the Laguna 14BX for a few years, maybe 5, and it is interesting to see the changes they have made. The bowl explosion was unexpected!
Wow, triple jump! I have the 14-12 also. Now very well used by me. I did switch to the Carter guides after the little white guide block kept falling out. Yours has some newer features like the fast stop and moving blade guard. Now I also have a used 18” Laguna, but need to get a circuit wired for it. Have fun with it! Magnet glued to the push stick will allow you to keep it on the upper door where it will be very handy. Broken bowl = wall sconce.
Thanks, Barry - yep, it was a shame I lost this one but the bandaw is fab!

Hello my friend, A nice band saw machine. I have the same one in a large size. Its only brand is Woodfast. But Laguna is exactly the same as the brand. All systems components look the same. They made an amazing copy. And I've been using it for a long time. Dude, you protect the monitors in your workshop well from dust. I couldn't do this protection. and I took the monitor out of the workshop :-) Safety is a must. For safety, you look like an astronaut with your helmet :-) Thinned designs are always a risk. Thank you for sharing your experiences. Everything you get your heart desires. See you later. Big greetings.
Congratulations on your new band saw, Stewart. That bowl is just one of the reasons to wear face protection. I saw that one piece sitting on the end of your bench. Bill
The new saw looks lovely - way too big and expensive for me but it looks like it'll do the job nicely! Having all that capacity will be very useful. You could kintsugi the exploded piece and it'd look great. Woud you consider doing a workshop tour video? Im always interested in seeing people's setups, particularly in smaller spaces (my own is a tiny 8'x7' that i built myself). :)
I have a similar Laguna 14” bandsaw and love love love it. I have never seen a bowl explode while sanding, makes me realize I should always wear eye protection (and not my good glasses with glue all over the lenses).
Shame about the bowl, I thought it was coming on nicely oh well. Glad your enjoying the 3M Versaflow I love mine. At least you've tested it lol. And your still in one piece unlike the bowl. Cheers Geoff
I have the same saw, had for about 8 years now. I will say I have upgraded the guides to the carter ones, didn't like the sparks from the ceramic ones. Also here in states I do not think that blade holding thingy comes on the saws here, but I will investigate as to if the newer ones do. And the fast stopping well I don't think that feature is here either. I would recommend you get a 3/8" or 1/2" for cutting the wet wood. Carter sell one called a greenwood blade works lovely. Save that 5/8" for resawing. making circles with it isn't wise theres a chance it could bind up and well lets just say not good things happen. Enjoy the new toy. Oh that noise sounded to me like the blade may be rubbing on the guides, check that it isn't you can you the dollar bill trick for setting the guides with the blade. Cheers!!!
Cheers, Dara! The cooling fan was hitting the motor cover - all sorted now! I'm keeping the blanks square but thanks for the advice about cutting curves with a smaller blade. I love the saw!
Cherry IS a lovely wood. You’re doing exactly what I do with cherry logs. Cut them down to size and eliminate the flaws then seal with end-grain sealer. With just a little bit of moisture still in the wood it smells so good when turning and sanding. Thanks for sharing with us.
I normally date time it was cut and sealed. I have been using tightbond(III) wood glue. And mostly working great. But the internal wind stressed in tree for getting released after processing and sealing still letting some inherent stresses free. Unless you are there when they felled the wood, sometimes it's still a mixed bag. So sealing and dating as shortly after felled is mostly the best. And even though I don't have a temp and moisture control shop(garage) it's out of rain and sealed endgrain. But try to leave it in log form. And try to follow the rule told to me years ago.... 1 yr per inch of overall radius of the cut piece. Plus one year. As a rule of thumb. And leaving the bark on if possible. Normally if felled in late fall the bark will stay for as long as it drying. But, if the tree was cut in late spring or summer.... some will loose there bark throughout the drying over the years. Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts! Cheers
Cheers, Jude - the weighing is a good method. I've tried pva glue as a seal but not had great results with it. I now have a bottle of Chestnut Products Endseal - it works very well in comparison. I'm not sure how readily available it is in the US but it sounds like it's very similar to Anchorseal.
Lovely saw , I have the 14 BX in my production shop. One note when you fired it up there was a lot of noise from the blade running , didn’t sound normal to me. Mine is very quiet even with a large re saw blade on it.
@@northernhumidor5615 sorted....the fan case on the motor had got knocked slightly so the cooling fan was just catching it....sounds much nicer now..haha!
@@stewartfurini 😄 Yes and I've been there myself, although I usually go through the bottom. Shame though it was a lovely piece. That reminds me, I need to make a depth gauge.

You're welcome, Christine! It was fun turning the cherry...shame about the end result though!

Cheers, Bill - I most definitely enjoyed making the shavings!
Nice one Stewart ! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it - cheers, Allan!
Excellent Video Stewart nice band saw addition to the workshop.
Cheers, Brian - it is indeed a great addition.
Congrats on the new bandsaw. Made me jump!
Cheers, Derek...and sorry for making you jump!
Hi Stewart, Yes I jumped. LOL.
That was a shame as it was looking very nice.
Great looking bandsaw as well.
Take care Stewart.
Cheers, Huw
Cheers, Huw - it is a lovely new tool!

Thanks, Eileen - it's a great new tool. Been using it today to cut up some more cherry. The bowl explosion was a surprise for me too! Cheers!!
Like your reaction haha .. keep safe my friend ... cheers Tim
Cheers, Tim - will do!!

I know - how very energetic of me...did I sound a little out of breath?? I love the new bandsaw - the fast stop is a great feature!
Nice band saw as big as mine,less said about that ouch, just love the cherry bowl until the end back to the drawing board 👍👍

Thanks, Sahane - it's a nice addition to my workshop - and the Versaflo is a great bit of safety kit!
@@stewartfurini Yes...😍🤩🤩🤩🤩

Good spot, Bill! When I watched the video in slow motion I was able to find a few more pieces!!

Cheers, Harvey - I'm pretty sure I was running it too fast as well!
Shame about the bowl, I thought it was coming on nicely oh well. Glad your enjoying the 3M Versaflow I love mine. At least you've tested it lol. And your still in one piece unlike the bowl. Cheers Geoff
Yep, but it was still fun - and the versaflo is great!!
Oops Stewart beaucoup de chance , prend soins de toi 👍👋
Merci, Denis!
It made me jump !!!

Oops! I love the smell of cherry when I'm turning it! It was nicely thin, Stewart. Too bad it let go.
Cheers, Billy - yep, a shame but I'll just have to have another go!

I like that just can't afford it just yet as I bought the Laguna 18/36 lathe
It's a lovely saw - hope you can afford it soon! Enjoy your new lathe!!
I jumped and swore - Bad luck.
Cheers, pryere!
Lovely saw , I have the 14 BX in my production shop. One note when you fired it up there was a lot of noise from the blade running , didn’t sound normal to me. Mine is very quiet even with a large re saw blade on it.
Thanks - I think the noise deserves some investigation...will run it without a blade....and get all detective on it!

@@northernhumidor5615 sorted....the fan case on the motor had got knocked slightly so the cooling fan was just catching it....sounds much nicer now..haha!
@@stewartfurini good news!
I don't think it's just the bandsaw blade that needs cleaning after that blow out 🤣
Haha...I thought I remained remarkably calm!!
@@stewartfurini 🤣
I have the Laguna bandsaw, and do not like the ceramic guides. It’s possible I have not tuned it properly, but I don’t think so.
I've found them ok so far, but I've only done an hour or two on the saw so far...
Love turning wet Cherry. i think it smells like cherry cough drops.
Me too - such a sweet smell!
yikes!
Yep...shame...oh well...it was still good fun!
@@stewartfurini 😄 Yes and I've been there myself, although I usually go through the bottom. Shame though it was a lovely piece. That reminds me, I need to make a depth gauge.
