I saw that before.  Agreed, a very interesting video.  He actually got accused by some viewers of rigging the tests and did a follow up video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdTrGCZORBk.

the thing is nails may not hold as well - but glues have improved immensely.
So I always either glue and nail or glue and screw. I use self tapping screws that don't need pre-drilled holes.

It's certainly interesting.
But you know, use glue

Even cheap pound shop pva won't break at the glued joint.
Nails I only really use to hold things together long enough for the glue to set.

I was familiar with the phrase, but never bothered to look up how it came about.  Very interesting.

Been looking at bandsaws lately and speaking of being better in the past...yeesh. lol. Its pretty common for experienced woodworkers to look for saws that were made in the 80s to get the best quality. Basically these days expect to pay over a $1000 for even a half decent saw or get lucky and find one from back in the day.

Sounds like your motor burned out? Theres not a whole lot to a bandsaw so if everythings moving normal by turning the wheels thats where I would look.

The cool thing is sometimes this isnt a bad thing actually. You can find a used motor that has more amps than the one you bought with it and get a nice little upgrade. Just make sure it has the same rpm as the previous.

Ive come so close over the last several months on multiple occasions to getting a ridiculously good bandsaw for pennies on the dollar. I *really* dont want to drop a couple grand on a saw but I want a saw that works like it costs a couple grand.  Anyways, its always a waiting game with these things. Just hope my patience holds up.
