I also share my shop with my daughter who just happens to be 50 years old and already forgot more about woodworking than I ever will know, however, I have found that even after 10 years of scrolling, I am still in the learning process aseven though I have been scrolling for almost 10 years, there is so much talent shared here that I find I am always finding out something new constantly.
One thing you need to know.. The big box stores are not the place to buy your blades. They simply do not carry the blades you will need. Because you still have time before you get your saw, ask about the blades you will need and you will find several suggestions will follow in the matter of minutes.
Glad you are not letting your daughter use the band saw any longer as how could you ever forgive yourself if she were to loose a finger or two?
