This is actually two videos in one! In the first part, Nick shows how to set up your band saw for precise resawing, keeping the resawn wooden slabs at a consistent thickness and the block from which you are cutting them square and true. The second part shows how to use this setup to cut the parts to make "nesting" boxes a collection of matching boxes that fit or "nest" inside one another. These can all be cut from a single block of wood, or a block that you assemble from several wood species to create a decorative pattern like the wooden "ribbons" shown here. Watch the first part for some great tips on resawing, and the second for a simple project you can make from scraps or firewood.

The plan for the the nesting boxes including detailed instructions on setting up for resawing is available from our Workshop Companion General Store at https://workshopcompanionstore.com/pr...
