    Great instruction Anne. As a fellow woodworker for many decades, I feel that you covered all the essentials of maximizing the use of your handsaws. I love what your doing. Keep up the great work and happy woodworking.

    Anne Briggs is the real deal when it comes to the use of hand tools. All she teaches about the fundamental care, sharpening, and proper use is spot on.
    She is wise way beyond her years. Check out her channel, you won't be disappointed, she is an amazing young woman.

      Lee, you no offense intended here, but you are laying it on a bit thick. Nothing in this video covered saw care and sharpening. The proper use part was cursory at best. It would be very hard to cover the subject as you describe, in a nineteen-minute video. Overhyping does a disservice to her and viewers.

    • @leebarnhart9725
      @leebarnhart9725 5 років тому +2

      Bestbuilder ....No offense taken, that is why you need to check out her channel, excellent sharpening video. The most impressive is thing is her can do attitude and the way she lives life. I won't even begin to list all the trades she covers and the things she does. That would be over typing to the point of upsetting you.
      When I say she's an amazing woman, and a great example of what a woman can do when her brain wired right, that is what I mean and any clear thinking individual will agree with me. Don't take on an arguments you can't win.
      I will repeat myself---Don't listen to this naysayer folks, click on this gal's channel, she's pretty damn amazing in her quest for knowledge and ambition to get things done. She grabs life by the throat and tells how it is going to be and if you find something wrong with that, don't speak to me.

    I have some upper body disabilities caused by nerve damage around my lungs, I really struggle with the body mechanics and sawing quickly becomes very painful. I would love to learn to use solely hand tools, but I know I’ll never be rip saw more than a few inches. I’m also ambidextrous and swap over after a couple of minutes.
    The explanation of cutting dovetails is the best I’ve seen.
    A brilliant video, everything wonderfully explained.

      I don't know if this would help your situation but you may want to look at a Japanese dozuki or ryoba saw if you haven't tried one. I found that since they cut on the pull rather than the push stroke that they don't aggravate my ulnar neuropathy when it flares up as much as traditional western saws do.

    • @markharris5771
      @markharris5771 5 років тому

      Hal Songer Thank you very much for reaching out with a suggestion, I genuinely appreciate your kindness. I do have a couple of Japanese saws that I do find easier for the technique and because they are less physical they are also easier on my lungs but I still struggle after a very short time.

    • @bestbuilder1st
      @bestbuilder1st 5 років тому +1

      Mark, just a thought- nothing against Anne, but if you thought this video was the best you've seen on dovetails; you really need to get out more (there are many actual dovetail masters with far better and more detailed info out there)

    • @markharris5771
      @markharris5771 5 років тому +1

      Bestbuilder I realise your knowledge is far great than mine, I’m so green at woodwork I make grass look white. I'm not being patronising or sarcastic but I don’t have your knowledge or expertise to judge by. It’s because we are probably so far apart that we see things differently.
      I'm not saying she is the best person at cutting dovetails or even the best person for explaining how to cut the best fine furniture dovetails. However, for a total newbie like myself going from zero to getting cutting something resembling a basic dovetail she is excellent.
      The best way I can explain it is though I left the business a good few years ago I’m a chef by trade, I know Jamie Oliver is neither a good chef or even a good cook. However, many people who are new to cooking swear by him and he does get people cooking at a very basic level. That’s all people want in the beginning, very basic instructions that get us doing something to an acceptable level for newbies.

    Hey Anne! Interesting discussion on the way my dad and the woodshop teacher taught to start a cut. A sharp tool is the key but as you said how often do I think about sharpening my saws? when I;m using them. LOL! I've not seen the use of the bench stop boards in anything but hand plane work. Oh Yeah who was operating the camera. Nice head shots, or lack of head shots. Warming up. Hmmm, I'll remember that. Do some more, it's good to see a woman showing the way!

    How can you tell between a rip saw and a cross saw I know it's a teeth how do you tell

    • @TheHandToolery
      @TheHandToolery 5 років тому +2

      Kram Awagatuka great question! It makes a difference to use the right saw for the right task. Now, a good bet is that the saws you buy from home improvement stores will have some sort of cross cut pattern to be used as a multi purpose saw for most situations whether ripping or cross cutting.
      Now to tell the difference, you just look down the saw from the front. If the top of the teeth have been cut or filed perfectly horizontally from side to side, it is rip. If the top of teeth have an angle to them, where they run more or less length-wise it is cross cut.
      Another way to tell is that, looking at the teeth from from the side of the saw blade (also called a saw plate), rip cuts look like waves in the ocean with the top of the wave/tooth going forward toward the front of the saw. Crosscut teeth look more like pyramids, on the other hand, as they have a bevel on the front and back of every other tooth (when you flip the saw and look at the other side, the opposite teeth with have the bevel now).
      Hope this helps!

    • @seaotter52
      @seaotter52 5 років тому

      That's a good question. If the teeth look kind of like a knife blade, that is they have a noticeable edge, it's a cross cut saw. The teeth are designed to cut across the grain of the wood. That is where the name cross cut comes from. As stated by HandToolery many big box stores are a cross cut type of design. The rip saw teeth, cuts in the same direction as the grain, are made so that the front of the tooth, the part that cuts, is more squared or perpendicular to the cutting direction. Interesting thing is that a fine, many teeth per inch, rip saw can cross cut easier than a cross cut can rip. This video is a great teaching video

    • @markharris5771
      @markharris5771 5 років тому

      Lee Barnhart My wife is the same, but with her it’s her right arm and right leg following a stroke at 28. It’s also left her with aphasia which she finds frustrating. She is amazing though, relearnt everything using her left arm. She hand makes amazing cards and gives them to the same charity I give all my archival mounted digital photograph prints to. That’s why I took up learning woodwork to make archival A2 frames for the prints to go in.
      It’s great you are interested in woodwork, I’d love to learn how you overcome your difficulties. But when fate deals us a bum deal we have two choices, give up or learn how to get up and get on with things.

    • @leebarnhart9725
      @leebarnhart9725 5 років тому +1

      Mark Harris ....I am so sorry, I wasn't thinking about those with real disabilities. I was just making fun of myself for being so right handed. I used a bunched of poor words to do so. I am so sorry for the difficult challenges your wife has had overcome at such a young age. She sounds like she's a pretty amazing gal and it also appears she has a great guy to help and support her. Again, I regret and am so sorry if I showed any disrespect and I wish you both the very, very best.
      With all my respect,
      Lee Barnhart

  • @Bart-Did-it
    @Bart-Did-it 5 років тому

    I’m a new build site carpenter and oh how I wish I had all these treats to do my work with but in Reality we work quit brutal don’t have vices and benches but we do have saw’s and lots of them . We have to be on point with our hand cuts free style learned early, every part of your body will be use to hold something for push something and cutting upside down hanging from a joist struggled like hell and cut a sweet cut who knew that humans can cut like monkeys. Only the brave chippy will know what I’m on about. But I must say I have never heard of how to stand and how to cut it all come naturally as time goes by and you cut your thumb not once but twice.
    You will learn 😂

  • @boozoochavis7506
    @boozoochavis7506 4 роки тому

    Much of poor saw technique can be directly blamed on trying to use a really dull saw. The first time I tried an actual sharp saw I was shocked - no need to bulldog the saw, the cut was even and didn't wander. Almost all used saws are too darn dull, they need to be sharpened first from what I've seen.
