  • Piercing or sawing, you need two items to do it. A saw frame and blades. In this film Andrew takes you through the process of choosing the right frame for your needs and deciding on which size saw blade to use.
    Plenty of hints and tips to be learnt in this film. Don't forget to stick around for the bloopers.

    Thanks Andrew. I'm just upgrading my skill level and saw blades were one of my questions - such a comprehensive answer that I now know how to think about sawing better.

    Brilliant explanation as always! My teacher used to say you needed a “twing” and not a “twong” sound for the correct tension... it’s always served me well!

    The Knew Concepts Mk.IV saw and the Green Lion are my favorites above all others for completely different reasons. The Mk.IV is just ingenious, I actually have two of them because I love them so much and keep different saw blades in each one for quick use, I usually use them on larger/deeper pieces because of its capabilities. But the Green Lion is so sleek, smooth, and elegant, I like to use it for much finer smaller pieces. The only time I ever use a different saw is for spiral wax blades, they’re shorter than the usual blade length so I have them in a German adjustable frame. But for every day sawing it’s always Knew Concepts or Green Lion. I would have a really difficult time choosing one over the other, it’d be like having to choose a favorite child or something, I love them both. Get a Green Lion, you need one of these in your life! I really hope you got one since you posted this video.

  • @sistersilver
    @sistersilver 4 роки тому +1

    Great show. I always wondered why Knew Concepts was a good idea. Thanks for explaining. I'll look at mine in a new light and forgive the difficulty getting blades positioned in it. I found a need for giant depths for LARGE pieces. They are harder to use because balancing them is difficult, but if the piece is a foot or 18" in diameter, the little ones won't do. I hope you have some of the larger ones hidden in your hoard!

    How many saws does one need? I'm working on a multi saw, like one of those frames with the tension clamp, but holds three blades where the side blades will be adjustable and the center blade stationary..

    I have a Green Lion saw. Its pretty, but honestly I find no difference between it and my basic fixed frame I used in college. I had the Knew saw and gave it away. I could not ever get my blades in correctly, they kept twisting. It frustrated me and I just gave up. That was first generation Knew saw so maybe I should try again?

    The Swiss frame is far and away the best for beginners because of its' weight and price. 3.5 oz for $15. Precise work with 5/0 blades is much easier with this light frame.
