When I did the 1/8" thick veneer teak deck on Passage.........

I did the resaw work on my table saw. From 180 bucks worth of teak (in 1982) I ended up with 90 bucks worth of teak 1/8" resawn decking and 90 bucks worth of sawdust in a barrel from the 1/8" kerf blade.... When I built Passage the only bandsaw I had was a 10" Delta.

Used that same bandsaw to cut aluminum up to 3/4" thick, 1/4" bronze sheeting, and every other part wood or metal on that boat. Now I have more money, a much nicer bandsaw, and very few projects getting done anymore.
