Improve Your Joinery Hand Sawing

- Joints that fit right off the saw are not only faster to create but a heck of a lot more accurate with fewer gaps. The minute we start mucking about with a chisel to pare a joint to fit is when gaps open up and the entire process slows down. This live broadcast dissects the sawing stroke into multiple parts to improve your accuracy and create better fitting joinery, faster.
Thanks for covering these basics, you're spot on when saying not everyone knows stuff like this. Now I do!
Thank you for an excellent video, I learnt so much about why I lack accuracy at times and how to stop it. For some reason I find my gent's saw the easiest to use accurately, I think it might be because I was a chef for 25 years and it feels much more natural for me.
I have to say for a one man production you do a sterling job, very well done indeed.
This guy really knows his stuff practically.Maybe you could put out a reminder when the next talk is due . I just caught the last 2 mins today . Ist Thursday every month at 4pm . Pacofic time or what?
This - was an excellent video. DIdn't catch it live obviously but - just good solid information here. As far as hand sawing goes, you and Paul Sellers are certainly the authority for conveying these techniques.
Yes! Keep doing this videos Shannon, I love them! Thank you very much.
Thank you for this video. I am lucky in that Kevin Drake shows up at the Lie Nielsen tool events. Learning to not over tighten my hand helped. Also, Kevin spending time just making cuts and practicing has really helped. There are times when I don't have much time and I want to do something. One can practice a lot of cuts on one board in 15 minutes.
Thanks! I need all the help I can get with sawing.
I am not new to this, but I really learn a lot. Thanks.
I tried forever to get perfect saw cuts with the chiselled knife wall. Not long ago, I was doing some "rough carpentry" and thought "Screw it! I need to get this done." All of a sudden, I was making perfect square and plumb cuts with only a knife line. Go figure.
Something that call my attetion is that you use mathematical concepts very well, much than most woodworkers. Do you have some degree in scients or engineering?
nope, music background but I come from a family of engineers
Thanks for very good videos.
Blackburn tools has nice saws and saw kits. Badaxe hammer sets their teeth. So if you wear it down from sharpening it will be the same as all the others unless you have them hammer set again. Honestly I cannot feel any difference between bent and hammer set if they are both done right.
@ 13:40: do you start the cut on the line or on the outside? Thank you for sharing your knowledge !
That's not an easy answer. It depends mostly on the species as the softer species will compress more and I can leave a the line. Hard, jungle woods won't compress at all and leaving the line won't fit. Splitting the line sometimes won't be enough and you have to take the line. Likewise different joints require different approaches. Long story short, I'm constantly asking myself whether I want to leave, take, or split the line. Most often I'm shooting to split the line but you will find a reason for all 3 the more you work wood frankly.
HEY SHANNON, THANKS FOR ALL THE INFORMATION ABOUT SAWING IN YOUR DIFFERENT VIDEOS. HOW WOULD YOU MAKE A STOPPED DADO ACROSS A BOARD, ONE THAT DIDN'T SPAN THE ENTIRE WIDTH?
Bad Axe Saws are, I am sure, excellent but they cost a fortune,. I get great results from using a Ryoba at less than a tenth of the price.
In the Corps, we’d call that hesitation you’re speaking of, “ mental masturbation”. Commit to the cut👍
Hi Shannon, when I asked about the frame saw hang, I was talking about the Isaac Smith kit. My other question about frame saws (and saws with no/crappy horns) how does one get weight off of the toe, like you've talked about before , on the initial cut?
Dave Arginteanu you have to tweak your wrist a bit to take the weight off the toe. It’s not ideal because you pull everything out of alignment but it’s just for a second as you start the cut. For a big frame saw you will need a starter cut mainly because of the aggressive pitch.
damn, that was fast. (My lunch break here.) I still feel like we're missing each other on the frame saw thing (mostly due to how many types/styles of frame saws). This one www.blackburntools.com/new-tools/new-saws-and-related/danish-frame-saw-parts/index.html. Thanks, I'm guessing the tweak is just a lot more comfortable/effective with a nice handle and horns.
Dave Arginteanu oh ok, I didn’t know Isaac was making one of those. Although it’s a frame saw I would more specifically call that a bow saw. Same tip applies and where the hang is essentially zero, starting the cut is easier because the force is in line with the teeth.
Shannon, thanks. I use the term bow saws for the tiny blades that you can do curved cuts (on purpose) with. Glad I clarified, thank goodness for links.
What is that square @41:56? Great video, thank you!
hernanc that’s a Sterling Toolworks saddle square
RenaissanceWW thank you Shannon!
I'm going thru all your older videos but no luck finding the one where you took the joinery bench apart. I'm curious how the top is assembled to allow remove for the moxon vise installation.

The top just rests on the legs and is captive by the aprons that provide a friction fit on all 4 sides. The Moxon have captive nuts mortised into the underside of the benchtop
Greatly appreciate the response! Thanks again.
Wheat from the chat!!!! LMAO!
You seem angry. Everyone knows you are a skilled woodworker. Don't be so pissy with everyone.
