The bandsaw works by using horizontal bandsaws to hold the workpiece stationary while the blade swings down through the cut.
The bandsaws stay in place and the worker moves the piece of wood to cut out their design.
After doing a rough cut of the headstock, I sanded down the edges using sandpaper and a drum sander. I learned that you can take off more or less of the headstock depending on how much pressure you apply. I used the shape of the drum sander to make the upper indent in my headstock.
