No, but, you can upload it to youtube and 'link' to it from here. With the new forum software, it will display inside the forum.

I have posted a video of re-sawing the 6 ¼" board, but have not figured out how to put in a link.

I drew a redline down the hoped-for path just to be sure the WoodSlicer blade was not wandering - it didn't.

The url is

Turn the sound down! It's noisy.

Looks like it was a bit of a struggle, but the result looked pretty good! Would you do it again?

Okay, JPG! Click the youtube bottom first, then paste the youtube url, and viola! a video imbedded.

How easy is that? And they say you can't teach old dogs new tricks.

And, YES, algale. I plan to do this again. I like single board items because the color of the wood is so consistent.

Nice work, Forrest! :D Can you tell us why you were running the sanding disk during the re-saw? :confused:

Ah, Chuck, you found me out! Yes, my steel sanding disk was on the PP - as it is whenever I bandsaw. I think the inertia of it helps with the low-speed clunking of my PP.
