This book will help you take the first steps toward mastering the band saw, from choosing the right one for your shop, to tuning and blades, and even how to make a basic, shop-made table and fence.

Then learn how the band saw is a more versatile tool than many give it credit for. There's a collection of our favorite tips and techniques, including smooth curves, straight lines, tapers, and even a bit of joinery.

After your band saw is tuned up and your skills are honed, it's time to start building. Each of the projects in this book will push a different aspect of the band saw, so pick which one to start with and get cutting!
