In this video, contributing editor Michael Fortune shows us the clever low fence that he keeps on all of his bandsaws to make sure that switching fences, and in turn staying safe, takes mere seconds, not minutes. No excuses now! Michael will be a featured instructor at Fine Woodworking HANDS ON, February 1-3 in Tampa, Florida. He’ll be teaching a hands-on class on different ways of forming and shaping wood. You’ll learn to apply the most appropriate bending technique for any application, including steam-bending, laminating, vacuum forming, kerf bending, and hot-pipe bending; Michael will even explain when it’s better simply to bandsaw a curve.
