I used cut 1x4s and glued the pieces together to make the initial cube shape that I would cut down with my bandsaw for this project. Now you can start cutting away the excess, the nice part about a bandsaw box is that you have room to make mistakes because everything is going to get cleaned up when you sand it! Now you just want to cut the back of the box off as straight as you can.
Once you’ve achieved a nice smooth texture, finish your bandsaw box with your favorite topcoat, laquer or stain. Kyle’s bandsaw box was crying out for some small knobs to finish off the drawers. That’s one of the best parts about creating your own bandsaw box.
I’ll show you how to cut and machine the parts that will support the entire structure of the band saw, as well as the system that allows us to tilt the upper wheel and tense the blade. I’m going to build a cover for the band saw top by gluing these two parts together. First of all I have to trim the plywood part a few millimeters so that it doesn’t stick further out than the upper part.
