  Toymakers Shop Handmade Wood Toy Dragons Resawing Ears You must use push sticks or other methods to keep your fingers away from the blade. I cut two eight-inch strips to do this with You must use a zero clearance insert, or the small parts will fall through the hole. I set up the bandsaw for the cut, pushed a board partway through the blade, and clamped it to the fence. You must use a narrow blade with lots of teeth.

Installing Blue Max Urethane Tires on a Shopsmith Bandsaw   Installing Blue Max Urethane Tires on a Shopsmith Bandsaw My first set of tires were the orange ones. They stretched and came off. I bought a pair of blue tires, and those worked well for a while and then came off and got chewed up by the blade—my fault. Putting these on was a struggle. Both times it took a couple of hours to get them on, finally. I purchased another set of the Blue Max belts. I changed the tires on my bandsaw yesterday for the third time.

Handmade Baby Dragon Pull Toy - Made To Order   Sometimes a project requires clamping some irregularly shaped piece, and none of the clamps in your collection will do the job. When making wood toys, you can use rubber bands to clamp these irregular parts. I keep a large box of rubber bands in my toymakers shop just for this purpose. When I make my Dragon Pull Toy , I use a hand full of rubber bands to glue the dragon to the base.
