One thing that he did not mention has to do with the polarity of the rare earth magnet for the stem. Before you put the one in the end of the stem, make sure that it connects with the one already in the apple. If not, it will "push" away and you can't put the stem on.

Well done, Alex ! Thanks for all of the tips. Nice looking project. : )

Outstanding project and process explanation Alex!! Thank you!!!

Nice video looking forward to trying it looks like fun So glad to see you back on you tube again been too long without you here Thanks Alex

Thanks Alex, great little project. Miss seeing you at the WWing Shows. Maybe next year. :-)

Awesome tutorial. I just found your channel and FB page. Thanks for sharing.

That was great! I got a little 8” bandsaw at Christmas and that project is now on my list. Many thanks.

Very clever and great work Alex!

Great job. Thank you. Once I have my bandsaw running again I will make one myself.

Really good tutorial video. Just made my first box, which turned out really well.

Alex thanks for the detailed explanation, I made a trick heart box using your procedure.

I Absolutely love the way you explain things. My wife is a teacher and this is perfect. Thank you for the post.

Awesome video

Great channel. Definitely will share.

Thanks this is going to be my first bandsaw project

that was awesome, love it , thanks

I really like your work

7:55 You could take the cutoff to stabilize it on the table. It's a nice box, I think I'll make a few of them when it gets a little warmer in the shop Thanks for sharing. 👍

Looks like I know what I'm doing this weekend. Great video!

I've seen you knock out little reindeers on the bandsaw at many trade shows, but this video was really helpful in showing techniques. Thanks, Alex!

Nice video not rushed explains everything slow like.

love it.

Perfect timing! I had just went back and watched the teaser for this a couple of days ago. Awesome job! All your tips will be handy for sure. Thanks Alex!

So well explained thank you. I didn't realize I needed a bandsaw till I started watching your videos, now it's top of my list of must haves. Would a budget bandsaw be capable of doing things like this please.

Wow!

What the Flock. Nice idea in a bag That stuff can get really messy. If you've ever done it with out the bag you know what I'm talking about. It can be a flocking mess. You didn't finish it! Yes go ahead say your wife does the finish work, ive asked her she said bull. Glad to see you doing these on youtube. To bad the woodworking shows are canceled this year. I always get a kick out of watching you work your magic. I do wish you'd add a link to Carter products maybe put a discount code on the end for proof you watched it all to use on Carter products. Somthing to think about and talk to the boss about. If she lets you. ALEX your a treasure to woodworking. Love these keep em comming.

Thank you Alex, great demo!

brilliant

Really like your videos !!!

Good video Alex. As soon as I get the new Bandsaw I'll be building one of these out of Birch Burl.

Thank you for the educational experience I bean waiting for you to put that box so Thank you and God bless

That was great! I’m already thinking of Christmas presents and this would work great for my 8 year old with a mine craft theme…

I love the video but some is hard ti follow and your camera isnt always were the saw is cutting. Im very excited to try this. Thank you for the marvelous share.

Love it....might just have to buy myself a bandsaw. I was trying to decide which would be more beneficial for a old beginner. The problem solver in me says that you could just turn the box upside down for the worm to come out?

Cool

rare earth magnet and heat shrink. Genius👍

Great video. Making one for a Christmas gift. The only thing I am going to do different is I'm going to put the seam on the bottom of the apple.

Hi Alex come over from fb cool channel subbed !

I just got home from an Alex seminar in Woodcraft. And as always; his talents and genius's were awesome. To me (I have known him for over 30 yrs) he is THE greatest Band Saw expert in the world. None Finer. If you have a chance to see one of his shows; GO there. You'll not be dissapointed. Alex you ARE the "cut" above for sure. Thank you kind Sir.

By the way, you have inspired me to go buy a band saw☺

I now see the need for the stabilizer. I missed its importance to this project. I wish you would have given the need for a stabilizer as much time as you gave the tight bond glue. Still it’s my fault for not catching that remark sooner.

Great video Alex! I'm planning to replace my bandsaw with a new one sometime this year and will definitely make one of these. Question for you, does the type of paint matter for the flocking or will an acrylic craft paint work just fine?

Very clever Ill give it a try, but I need a 1/8 blade. I ll give Greg a call thanks for the video.

Великолепно

@bandsawlife Hi Alex. I was given a Sears Craftsman 12" bandsaw, 1970's I think. Will the Carter guides and stabilizer fit this unit? I have the urethane tires that I picked up at the local Woodcraft. Thanks for the content that you bring!

This is really cool. Can I put a blade stabilizer on a Rikon 10-305 10" bandsaw. Do they make them for it?

Thanks Alex! I've gotten myself a second hand Universal 14" bandsaw made in Taiwan in 1985, still works pretty well but the blades it came with were dull. Got myself a 27mm 4tpi blade and a 6mm 4tpi blade. I think the wide one is too wide, as it hits up against the bottom guides and either they won't go back further than I can get them, or they have partially seized. What do you think? The thinner blade cuts like crazy compared to the old dull blades but leaves very large saw marks. Am I better off getting a thin blade with larger tpi? David from Make Something uses a 3/16" 4tip skip tooth blade and seems to get pretty good results.

Hello Alex, I just found your channel and I subscribed. Thanks for the info and great video. How do you get such tight corners with that 1/8 blade? I have one but it gets sloppy going that tight. Thanks

Where did you purchase the worm. Loved the video and idea. My daughter is in her 3 year of university to be a school teacher. I have 18 months to master this as a Grad Gift.

Hello from Texas. What length roll pin and what size ball bearing do you use? Can't wait to see you in September up in Fort Worth for the cutting board class. I'm practicing reindeers this week. Got an old used Delta bandsaw from a neighbor. And now I can practice with an apple box also. Must have some experience to get the most out of your class.

I'd really love to have any plans (printed or digital) for the apple box and design. Love your instruction, but old guy who''s not artistic. Thanks -

That Saw is so much quieter than my Jet!

I live in Ireland and having bought the Carter blade guide for my Jet 18QT and followed your set up procedure and I totally agree there is no such thing as blade drift. I do have one question - I was resawing and 8" piece of Yew with lots of inclusions and knots and got a lot of striations and ridges in certain areas. My feed rate was steady and not forceful. Any idea what I have got wrong or is it just the timber? Thanks

Hi Alex great box what did u say u use to put ur magnet on pencil

Hello, congratulations for the beautiful work. What paint do you use for the interior and what product is applied over this paint? Saludos desde Chile 🇨🇱

Hi, great box, great mon rushed instructional video. Thanks very much. One question if I may, does the maggot fall out if you tip the box forward or does friction hold it in place. Thank you.

🔨🔨🔨

Does Carter products make a blade stabilizer for Jet JWBS-14SFX 14”

what holds the worm in the apple so it cant be dumped out. I sugest a weaker maknet maybe

Great video! Oh, I wish I could use a Carter blade stabilizer but, alas, they don't make one that will fit my machine (Grizzly G0555XH). I'm gonna try it without having a stabilizer and hopefully I can pull it off. Again, thanks for the great video!

Love your flag

I purchased a ingco bandsaw. Please advise about this machine. It came with 6 mm blade. But have difficulty going curve cuts. Should I use a 3 mm blade instead?
