Retired, amateur woodworker, making anything my family requests, mostly furniture. Use as many hand tools as possible, especially the older tools from the 18th century, no noise, or dust in the air - and I find the slower pace relaxing.
Oatyboy, Sorry for the delay in response, I thought I lost your Private Message to me when I just found this question here. I answered your question in a Forum Topic in the hopes you'd find it there. Go to my Forums, shown as 5 Items in the top of this page, it's called Bandsaw Riser Block. I describe the purchase at the Sears/ Craftsman Parts sales site, and I found and included a You Tube video titled: Can you make a riser block out of wood? Yes.
Send me a PM if you have trouble with this, Thanks, Tom
