I bought 80 dollars with of 2xs from big box store and wanted to make three sturdy rocking horses for my brothers grand kids. Got the plans off interweb and printed up patterns and made templates out of 1/4” plywood (trying to scale the pattern was trickiest part). Almost finished with the first horse….just need to put in walnut plugs in screw holes and another couple coats of lacquer. I have parts cut and sanded to 80 grit for the other two horses.
Band saw safety question….I finally had my first band saw place brake on me. It is a 1/4” blade on my 9” PC bandsaw. It broke at a point I wasn’t even putting much stress on the blade. My question is…..has anyone ever been injured or heard of injuries from bandsaw blade breaking? When this one broke, it made a hell of a loud pop but the end above the table just sat there but it got me curious if it’s ever dangerous when a blade breaks. Thoughts?
