We have one of these that we bought in Estes Park more than 20 years ago. We still use it. We are also one of the few couples that still uses our bread machine...a few times a year anyway. Now I can make bread knives for my whole family and use up some of those scraps you were talking about this morning. haha. 😁🤣
Fantastic way to come up with sawtooth library shelf rails at 2:15! Shame that the blades are no longer available (or at least not available to me in the UK), but thank you for another great video, James. Brass screws - plenty of them available here in the UK (I use Westfield Fasteners; they don't list US as a destination they serve, but I'd be happy to re-ship things out if it helps).
Mum used to have a 'production' type Bread Knife with one of those gross green handles and an adjustable steel fence except the fence kept on moving. The sliced bread joke was a bit dough, it hadn't really risen to the occasion today, lmao
Really enjoy your videos, James. This is a great, reasonably easy, project that I might be able to handle following your well-thought out instructional. The bread knives would also make great gifts. One thing about the carbon steel blade, however: it will rust . Perhaps not an issue unless washed and water doesn't dry beneath the mounted area. Also, mineral oil, dietary-safe, would work as a finish, and waxed with bees wax to add some shine.
Nice little project. Idea: make a curved handle instead of a straight one. So your hand is higher than the surface you're cutting on. This would be easier when you get to the bottom of the bread slice. Also, you can go nuts and make an adjustable fence.
Funny thing. I work in a bakery and we have a gravity slicer that needs the blades changed out occasionally . I lucked out and was working when it happened recently. Asked the technician what they did with the old blades and he said they just toss them. So I grabbed them and was wondering what to do with them. Now I know. :)
Do you have a spreadshit to know what is the best bread slice thickness ? I would love to put my own weight on the different variable and find out what would suits me best!!!
There are a bunch of different sellers of them on Amazon. I should be able to get a different link when I get home today. Sorry they sold out a few hours after the video came out.
I chuckled when you referred to the bread knife as a "saw" (I guess it essentially is). You might have pointed out that the bread saw can be set-up for left or right handed people by simply flipping the blade too.
Can those blades be sharpened or just swap it when it turns dull? Would be interesting to make the fence or the blade adjustable for different thicknesses 🤔
Looks like it doesn't cut all the way to the cutting board, do you think you could extend the blade a bit farther without compromising the joint between the blade and the handle?
Yes. For this first one I drove the holes just a hair too high. I needed to drill about a 16th inch lower so that the teeth would reach the bottom. I fixed that on the later version.
Just wanted to let you know. Enjoyed he bread knife episode. Thought I would make some for gifts. If have a nice piece of maple board that a friend gave me that would be perfect for this project. Went to your link and found "currently unavailable don't know when or if they will be in stock". Went searching and found they are usually sold in sets of like 32 pieces at a substantia cost. Found a company that sold individual blades for about $4.50 each. Ordered 3 blades, about $13. However, their least expensive shipping charge was bout $26. Needless to say I did not order them. If I ever find an affordable source for these blades I will order them and make some of these for gifts. This is not a complaint it's just an observation. I still really enjoyed this little project.
Sorry. Apparently they sold over 100 in the first couple hours of the video being out. I thought about buying one of the big packs and selling them individually.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo I didn’t mean to imply that it was your fault, it certainly isn’t. It was just for information purposes. I’ll keep checking back to see if they get restocked. Thanks for your reply.
A circular saw with a brace is an absolute pain. It can be done but it's really slow. I could do it with auger bit but because the board is so thin the auger bit might split it out.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo The splitting of the wood makes sense. I think I would have planned two knives at the same time and used twice the width of wood. Drill pressed the circles out and then fine tuned the rest after splitting the wood to form two knives. You can see how much I’d want to avoid carving the concave, LOL.
Really nice little project and would like to try it. However the link to Amazon for the blades say they’re unavailable and may not be. Any other source?
Nice bread saw James, will work well for those people with mediocre knife experience. I will stick to a thin and sharp blade while improving my saw skills on impure polycarbonate foams.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo if I was going to go into mass production of these I could buy a bunch for $250 but I think I’ll just keep my eye out for a small batch because this would be the perfect gift for a friend who does a lot of baking
If you're making your bread, why would you need a fence? You didn't steal it and you don't want to sell it? ;) great little project with some nice techniques. I think I need to get myself some better rasps, I'm struggling to round out the wheel arches on a wooden car I'm building for my son.
There are a few different sellers of them on Amazon. I should be able to get a different link when I get home today. Sorry they sold out a few hours after the video came out.
Welcome to Wood by Right. Feel like to have a little bit of fun with that around here. I usually have something on a thumbnail or in the intro screen. That's either spelled wrong or a twist on words. I like to have a beautiful fun with it lol

As a german I am confused. One the one hand everyone in this bread nation can naturally cut bread free hand so this is useless, on the other hand it is so beautifully over engineered and overkill. Which stereotype should I go with? And why do you take me seriously here.
Again proving you are a cut above the rest! A small project this week, I suspect you've been loafing. That should last long into the time when you are a crusty old woodworker!😁
Love the (perfict titel).😊nice looking item, want to make several for some friends of mine.
Bread knife - "It's a fun tool to have in the shop" - James Wright. lol. Nice project.
So ridiculous -love it 😂

That seems like the best thing since sliced bread!
The way you work these cabinet rasp! Awesome job!
That is a new take on a bread knife, thanks for sharing.
Your videos have convinced me that I need a decent rasp set!
Just baked some bread, so I guess I'll make this right away! Thanks!
It would be good for slicing butter for your perfectly sliced bread too. Yum.
Pretty awesome looks like a fun project for some scrap wood. Also looks like if you make your own bread ya need one of these.
Always love how often you post!!!

greatest thing since uneven bread
I made several of these back in the mid 80’s but used bandsaw blade material. Worked well but I wish they had the blade you used.

This is super cool James!! I love the attention to detail, and how you get perfect this thicknesses of bread each time. Awesome stuff 😁😁
really cool bread knife and very creative James. thanks, I think ill make one for my wife. keep em coming buddy.
Thanks. And congrats on being first.
Hey, I really liked this one, James. FYI-The bishop’s hat is called a miter-probably where the word we use for angles in our woodworking came from.
Nice little project!
Fantastic work, James! Thanks for all the tips! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Nice little project.
Idea: make a curved handle instead of a straight one. So your hand is higher than the surface you're cutting on. This would be easier when you get to the bottom of the bread slice.
Also, you can go nuts and make an adjustable fence.
Add an aluminium scale to the adjustable fence too :D
@@kz.irudimen A vernier scale.
It would be really cool if you could make an adjustable one for different widths.

You can find many dealers for brass roundhead slotted wood screws online.
Yup. I just did not have any in stock when I made it.
Nice Deal, James👍
hey
Can I use a hacksaw blade to cut bread?
Do you have a spreadshit to know what is the best bread slice thickness ? I would love to put my own weight on the different variable and find out what would suits me best!!!
Damn this pandemic. Amazon out of the blades here (Canada) and the US. Would have made an easy light hearted gift for V day.

Bring on the Toast! Cheers! LOL.
Love your vids, u spell perfict perfectly
Yep. Welcome to would buy right.. We like to have a lot of fun with that
Nice video but seeing the bread made me hungry! What's next Wood By Wright's food channel?
Lol I did an April fools on that a few years back. Made a sandwich with shop tools.
Nice work, rely cool!! but, where to get the bread cutting blade? thanks!
There's a link in the description. I generally get mine on Amazon but I found a few other places that have it.
Will this saw work for cutting bread dovetails?
Lol I did April fool's video a few years ago doing just that.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Haha excellent
Can those blades be sharpened or just swap it when it turns dull? Would be interesting to make the fence or the blade adjustable for different thicknesses 🤔
They could be sharpened with a slip stone.
Looks like it doesn't cut all the way to the cutting board, do you think you could extend the blade a bit farther without compromising the joint between the blade and the handle?
Yes. For this first one I drove the holes just a hair too high. I needed to drill about a 16th inch lower so that the teeth would reach the bottom. I fixed that on the later version.

Why didn’t you use a circle saw to cut the corner curves first?
A circular saw with a brace is an absolute pain. It can be done but it's really slow. I could do it with auger bit but because the board is so thin the auger bit might split it out.

Something other than Philips? You should use Roberson screws. Invented 15 min from my home. Best screws ever!
Only if I can choose I prefer torx
Really nice little project and would like to try it. However the link to Amazon for the blades say they’re unavailable and may not be. Any other source?
Maybe if we find 10-12 others we could buy the larger pack and divide them up??
There are others on Amazon. I will have to look. Apparently they sold out a few hours after the video came out.
Now I need to make some sourdough ;)
Nice bread saw James, will work well for those people with mediocre knife experience. I will stick to a thin and sharp blade while improving my saw skills on impure polycarbonate foams.
Man already sold out my n those blades
Sorry.

Bummer Amazon is out of the small packs of blades. Only 25 per packs available!!!! Help!

@@WoodByWrightHowTo thanks
The one who can cut his wood deadstraight should be able to cut his bread in the same way.
Here you go. amzn.to/3sPSWem
@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thank you, saw the link in the description and edited my comment.
But what is your position to my remark?
Your video already sold Amazon out of the blades that you left the reference to.
Lol I will have to see if there is another.
Check the title?
Welcome to Woodbury. We like to have fun with that.
@@WoodByWrightHowTo oh I'm just a goober...nvm
Blades no longer available.
i think you forgot the e on knife in the thumbnail

The blades are sold out. Can we make our own blades?
Sure. There's nothing really special about him. I've seen people also make them out of band saw blades.
Blade is unavailable, great video

all well and good until you're right handed and you have a left handed person try to cut the bread XD
Again proving you are a cut above the rest! A small project this week, I suspect you've been loafing. That should last long into the time when you are a crusty old woodworker!😁
what? 2mins on a band saw, great idea though
