band saw

Hello, Here is my first segmented pen! (ignore the fact it is horribly finished and underturned for a second). As you may see, the segments didn't align quite well. you can see the brass tube between them. I suspect my segments weren't exactly straight. I was told that I should be able to make...

Yes, another bandsaw sled with inserts for a few angles. I should say, the length of the inserts was driven by the size of the russian birch I had spare. I used matchfit grooves for stop blocks this time. Happy to take any feedback, answer questions, take more photos if anyone is interested.

I have the Grizzly GO555 14 inch bandsaw and really like it. I find the miter gauge that came with it to be less than adequate. I am not particularly skilled at making my own jigs and such and would like to buy a decent but not expensive miter gauge and fence for the band saw. Any...
