Vic will walk through blade selection without the jargon, explain tension and guide setup in plain language, and demonstrate techniques for clean ripping, accurate curves, smooth resawing, and consistent results. Along the way, common myths are challenged and practical shop-tested tips are
shared.

If your bandsaw feels unpredictable or underwhelming, this seminar will change that. You will leave understanding why the bandsaw earns its reputation as the most versatile tool in the shop and how to make it work for you every time.
