I spoke to Steve's wife two nights ago.

Steve passed away not long after his posts about installing an elevator in his house.

I met Steve a few times, including a couple where he was gracious enough to invite folks to his shop.

Steve was well known here as a Moderator, woodworker, frequent poster, and one of the ones who made the Christmas Auctions and other charitable ventures successful.

I was pretty broken up speaking to her on the phone, and can't find the right words even now.

I did tell her that If she found herself needing ANYTHING that Steve had a strong network of friends here both locally and across the US and Canada that would find a way to help.

Once this thread has run its course, I intend to print it out and send it to Allison.

For those wishing to send cards, PM me for an address. The cards will be forwarded from that address as mine was.

(from WoodNet.net)


What is your current source for bandsaw blades?

Also, I'll be doing a considerable amount of re-sawing on hickory to make cabinet door panels. What blade would you recommendto use on a 14" Rikon 10-325 for that?
I've done this before on the same bandsawabout 7 years ago. I don't remember what I used, but it was probably just whatever was the cheapest3/4" bandsaw blade I could find and I got by okay, but this time around I have probably 3x the amount of re-sawing to do.

thanks
