bruce d Posted November 12, 2022 #1 Posted November 12, 2022 From WORK magazine, January 1891: a bandsaw with a swiveling bed/table to make compound curves. I think I would keep all my favorite fingers away from this beast. Here is the whole magazine which has three pages of description and theory behind the machine. work_magazine_094_1891 COMPOUND BANDSAW.pdf Be careful. mtaylor, wefalck, Canute and 6 others 8 1 Quote 🌻 STAY SAFE A model shipwright and an amateur historian are heads & tails of the same coin current builds: HMS Berwick 1775, 1/192 scratchbuild; a Slade 74 in the Navy Board style Mediator sloop, 1/48 - an 18th century transport scratchbuild French longboat - CAF - 1/48, on hold
wefalck Posted November 13, 2022 #2 Posted November 13, 2022 It's quite amazing what versatile machines were made in the past - now we have make do with simple, boring ones. OK, today we other methods to cut such compound curves. michael mott, Canute, mtaylor and 2 others 5 Quote wefalck panta rhei - Everything is in flux
Roger Pellett Posted November 13, 2022 #3 Posted November 13, 2022 On larger scale the old Shipsaws worked on the reverse principal. The. Table was fixed and the saw swiveled. The saw angle was controlled by a hand wheel. mtaylor, Canute, thibaultron and 2 others 5 Quote
Shotlocker Posted November 13, 2022 #4 Posted November 13, 2022 Quite the machine all right but methinks I would set it on something a bit more stable than those two blocks of wood! mtaylor, bruce d, thibaultron and 1 other 1 3 Quote
Robere210 Posted June 14, 2023 #5 Posted June 14, 2023 Wow. Just....... WOW! That would be so cool to be able to make squiggly things... I don't know what I'd do with the squiggly things, but it would be fun making them. bruce d, mtaylor, Canute and 1 other 4 Quote
