White oak and Aluminum.
Stainless steel screws.
3-1/2 inches square, 1-1/4 inches tall.

I will make multiples of these. I will peddle them at flea markets!

Kinda industrial...steampunkish. I like it.
Good luck with them.

So, what or which blade can I use to cut aluminum on my bandsaw? Please advise!

Really like the White oak and Aluminum look.

For the smoothest cuts I would suggest for 1/4" aluminum, a 10 to 14 TPI blade with constant pitch. You could probably use a wood working blade but they generally have a variable pitch. would require a bit more work to smooth it out.

That is a sharp invention!!! Great look.

If you want a definitive answer, call Suffolk Machinery the maker of Timberwolf blades. They even know what a SS is and gave me good advice when I called and wanted a selection of blades for various things including a non-ferrous blade for soft metals.

BTW, if you order direct from Suffolk the blades are much cheaper than the resellers.

Mike Young used a Lennox blade to cut metal (steel actually but they have blades for most needs). They make blades in 72". Available through many sources including Amazon.

Be well,

Bizz Card Holder, Round two: Black Walnut and Aluminum
And a scrap of Black Walnut, with a big ole knot in it, to give it true character... for a tea light, holder!

Walnut, Poplar & Malaysian hardwood dowels.

I finally was able to succeed in a doweling project! Even though these are small, IMHO, they look awesome!
