Bob and the Bandsaw

Some of my hand carved hairpicks

So the other day while hanging out with my friend at the farmers market, I met Bob. Bob is an awesome guy who makes wooden spatulas and the like. I also met his wife and his grandkids, who were all equally as awesome. I told him that I like to carve wooden hairpicks, and would like to sell them at the market, but it takes too long to carve them by hand. So Bob, being the amazing person that he is, decided to let me borrow his old bandsaw.

Bob's bandsaw

 This is a bandsaw. For those who don't know what a bandsaw is, it is basically a continuous saw blade that rides on rotating wheels and cuts wood and metal and sometimes meat. (I will not be using it to cut meat.) Bob dropped it off on my porch yesterday along with some beautiful wood scraps. I can't wait to start using it!
