    Question based on my own uncertainty: I have heard some people say the correct measurement won’t work if you are not turning the table saw blade back and remeasuring the same spot after spun. Further, when you measure the front of the table saw blade, marking where you measure, spinning the blade with same spot now spun to the backside is this method I’ve heard. Have you heard of this? Your video is the first I’ve seen that doesn’t suggest this and am wondering what’s going on mathematically if this is or isn’t the case. No clue, just a curious wood worker. Thanks ! Love your vids

      @@BlueBomber628 I feel like that’s overkill. Some woodworkers try to hit machinist levels of precision and that is just not necessary with wood. The sawstop manual actually recommends a .002 differential is within tolerance. Marking the blade and measuring from the same spot would probably be useful if I thought the trunnion was messed up, or needed new bearings, but that’s not a concern I had with my saw. I’ll be honest, I had this saw for 5 years before ever going through this calibration.

    I'm no expert at steam bending, but I've been researching this for years to hopefully make steam bend drum shells and wood hoops once I've mastered the process. A few things you should look into: 1 - Check out the videos by Engels Coach shop, he has tons of helpful info on steam bending. 2 - Material you want to bend, has to be free from knots and as straight grain as possible. You want the grain on the edges of each strip to run straight / parallel to the edge. Wavy / diagonal grain is more likely to fail. If using kiln dried wood, you want to soak it for a few days, then steam it for 2 hours per inch of thickness. 1 hour per inch is the rule of thumb for air dried wood, but for kiln dried you should double this cook time! 3 - Compression strap! For bending anything over 1/4" you really need to use a compression strap. Not just a piece of metal or nylon webbing to go around the outside, the wood needs to be restrained somehow at the ends to stop it sliding along the strap as you bend it around the form. This stops the outside wood fibers from stretching as you bend, forcing the inside of the strip into compression. Wood can't stretch very much before it breaks, but it can be compressed a lot. The compression strap takes all the tension, forcing the wood into compression. You might get away with just clamping the strip of wood to the strap, but for thicker bends, you will probably need end stops on the strap. Have a look at the Veritas steam bending straps from Lee Valley. Galvanised steel banding / fixing straps work well to make your own strap clamp. 4 - For bending complete circles, like in your first design, you really need to cut scarf joints on the strips, so the ends of each strip of wood are tapered to a point. The tapered section should be at least 2" long, but ideally nearer 3 to 4". Then the ends need to overlap each other and the two tapered surfaces are glued together to give you a good strong glue joint. Butt joints will never work well, because you can never get the strip to bend evenly all the way to the end, so you always end up with a bit of a flat spot. The scarf joints help with this issue as the ends are tapered away to a point making it easier to bend towards the ends! Hope this helps!
