Pardon my ignorance, but I never would have thought one could resaw by hand! And without the noise of the bandsaw, dust collection system, and wife and kids yelling down the stairs! Great video Tom and I really dig your music, very relaxing and even so, complex and interesting with the nice accents and percussion fills and the Bass. I jammed along on my Megatar, and then re-ran it and jammed along again! Thanks!
I swear, Tom. You make that look easy. I watch your videos and think, "Why do people need power tools??" You must have decades of experience under that belt. Thanks for the video! Beautiful saw.
Hi Tom. I love your work. There is something called slide in a rowingboat, its like a small wooden sit with wheels that runs back and forward on rails. Picture your saw twice as long and you siting on a slide, you could put your legs in to the sawing. It might be a crazy idea but it would make more sense watching you working with something like that then anyone else. Cheers

You work very professionally. Simply delightful to watch the tiniest details in how you want processed. The tools are very professional. Congratulations.
Tom, Hello, I am Greg at GworXTaiwan. I love this. I once had to cut a 3/8" piece of cocobola or whatever that expensive exotic wood is called, in half like you do here. Took days of one hour sessions with a hand saw. I had no equipment, but wanted to line that jewelry box. 20 years ago. I am very impressed and plan to follow you. Thanks for sharing.
You sir, are a brilliant craftsman I am truly impressed. Bravo

Really inspiring, a beautiful tool and great results in resawing. I have a Pax rip saw for that task but will definitely make a kerfing plane like yours. I might have a suitable blade to modify.
Hi Tom, the frame saw looks beautiful. also the sample average was just fine. So it looks like you could now establish itself plywood. For your subsequent work.
il n'ya aucune raison pour s'excuser pour ton langue. Moi aussi je suis de quebec (montreal), mais mon premiere langue et anglais, puis mon francais, pas aussi bon.. au moins vous essayez , pas comme certains Québécois francophones qui pensent parler anglais est un crime.
You do the same thing I do when working with a frame saw. Twist to the right quite a bit due to being right handed. Tip my grandfather gave me was always keep your thicker piece towards your non dominant hand to avoid possible breaking. Granted I got this advice after snapping a piece of cherry I was cutting.
Hi Tom, caught, now I got what the kerfing plane is for ;-) preparing the wood for resawing with a frame saw. Great tool b.t.w. But I think that nonetheless I need a copy of your book ;-) Seeing forward for more of your videos and thanks again for sharing.
Looks amazing. I think that may be a great Idea considering I don't have a great ban-saw and when I need to thin out stock this would be the way. Going to subscribe to see more.
Very nice. Simple and effective. I find it hard to buy saw blades here. I´ve been looking for a blade for a bow saw I'm willing to build and I'm having a hard time. The sawing action is also a great workout :) Thanks, again, for sharing your great work.
P.J. thanks for the comments. Try this link for frame saw blades- www.badaxetoolworks.com/kpfs and here for bow saw blades and hardware- www.toolsforworkingwood.com/store/item/GT-BOW12.XX/Gramercy_Tools_12%22_Bow_Saw_Blades cheers!
Love the video Tom, and the ideas behind it. I've been enjoying my copy of The Unplugged Workshop and plan to delve into both the frame saw and kerf plane. Silly this, but as no one else has mentioned it (not even your schooteacher wife?) - I'm compelled to: at 4:41, I don't think you really meant to imply the blade needs instruction, as much as it needs to be taut.
Tom, The video that keeps giving, even after 6 years........ Looking to make one myself, can you tell me what the dimensions of the hardware is, the metal tube I am able to get has a max wall thickness of 3mm, do you think that will be enough?....
Far freaking out I love pretty but functional tools. I will be back to look at some of the other things you are building. In my journey to become a luther I feel the need to build maybe as many as three roubo frame saws. A small one for cutting side stock and front and back panels for viola pomposa, a medium one for cutting small logs in half (long ways) for hand carved rebec, and a large one for cutting lumber so I can set it back to dry. Do you have any advice on where to find saw blades for these
Great project and beautifully made. All I need now are the places to get the blades??? Unavailable in Australia without having them custom made.Guess I could just use a hand rip saw in place of the blade... Hmmm...
Bil- thanks for the comments. For sure, you could cut down an existing rip saw blade- something in the 5 ppi range seems to be ideal. Not as fast as 3 or 4 ppi, but the control makes up for lack of speed. best of luck with it-
Many thanks Tom! I'll definitely give it a shot. I have a lot of wood that needs re-sawing for my guitar tops. I can't believe how much time and effort you put into your projects and the high quality of your videos. Brilliant! MAny thanks. I have no excuse now but to buy your book/s!!! :-)
Thanks for the comments Scott- The 'loops' are mostly aesthetic, as they reflect back to the carved, rounded corners you'll find on historic frame saws. In practical use, they make the front of the saw a little lighter and they're great for hanging the frame on the wall ! All the best~
Tom, most sincerely appreciate all of your videos. The very apparent, heart, dedication, and pure craftsmanship behind your work makes your videos my most favorite to watch. I've read down quite a few comments and couldn't find the info I was looking for. I noticed you mentioned that you got the blade for this saw at Bad Axe Tools Works. I visited their site and failed to see where you could purchase these blades. Was it a custom order? If so, would you mind sharing the specifications that you made your blade to? Size, gauge, cutting pattern, TPI? and possibly price if allowed to share? Thank you.
Hi Tom, Don't think I can add much to what has been said already except to ask you what music you used. The action, the saw & the music went well together. Regards.
Thanks Peter! I use my own music in my videos, ( sometimes friends music ) you'll find more info on my website. All the best and thanks for the comments and question!
And with the things the way they are now, you probably *still* get copyright notifications from Google even if it's your own voice, lyrics, and music :)
+nmssis thanks for the comments and question. I like to keep my shop sawn veneers around 3/16-in. then I dress them down to 1/8-in. with handplanes. all the best-
These are some awesome hand tools! but if i was cutting that board as a preference i would want a more aggressive rip blade because those fine tooth one sure they give you finer finish but i would feel like I'm never getting anywhere where as with an aggressive rip blade i would finish the cut sooner but i wouldn't mind planeing it down a little as I'm sure it would still be necessary no matter which saw you use
The MoQingbird, great question. Ideally, I use my Lying Press ( Moxon style vise ) across the end of my bench. But on my workbench, I prefer resawing in the end tail vice. all the best-
Lovely saw! Question though, why not use it on a pull stroke? I wonder if it might be easier on the back and delts, and easier to track in the cut... kerf not withstanding. Albert
Albert, I prefer the Western style push stroke and haven't found it hard on the back- that said, you could turn the blade and certainly use it as a pull saw. thanks for the question and comments- all the best
Tom Fidgen Tom, this a great saw but ,to answer Albert's question and if I may suggest, make another "handle" and try it on the "pull" way too, I find Japanese (pull) saws easier to track because it doesn't "flex". I always believed in: Don't Knock It Before You Tried It! Craftsmanship and an "open mind" can lead to Superior Craftsmanship ;-)...
Beeg Dawg- thanks for the question. I've never set a stop watch, but for long re-sawing cuts the frame saw is definitely easier, tracks better, and leaves a cleaner and thinner kerf. Before making the frame saw, I did all of my re-sawing with a panel saw- not much fun. The frame saw is a much better tool for re-sawing. all the best~
Dear Tom, lovely job on both the frame saw and the kerfing plane. Regarding the frame saw, what TPI do you go for with the blade? I was wondering if you could have two blades, one a low TPI for rip cutting and another higher TPI for cross-cutting. Mind you, most of the cuts are rip cuts anyway and so that answers my own question I guess. Thanks in anticipation.
Lovely saw there Tom. After using it for a while, how do you feel about the length? Seems a bit short to get a good stroke going. Of course I realize you don't have a barn there to swing it around in. A long one would hard for traveling as well.
Hi David, thanks for the comments and question. It is a bit short but OK for any stock under 8-in. wide. Small cabinet parts similar to the projects in my books. I have a new blade on its way that's 6-in. longer; as well as an over sized 36-in. blade. I'm going to make a video/blog post showing some variations one of these days. Cheers!
Thanks McGinn- Besides the obvious difference of size- a bow saw is designed to turn in the cut. The handles and blade can rotate and you can saw into fairly tight curves. This frame saw is designed specific for large, straight cuts. IE: resawing. thanks again for the question! all the best Tom
Tom Fidgen Thanks man, if I'm not too much a bother, where did you get the hardware to make this? This looks like a project I might be able to handle, or I'll at least have fun failing while trying :)

McGinn's WoodShop Check out Bad axe tool works, they sell blades for both the frame saw and the kerfing plane.
McGinn's WoodShop The hardware is all off the shelf ( details in my book ) and the blade is from Bad Axe Tool Works- here's a link: www.badaxetoolworks.com/kpfs cheers!
Thanks Dodgys- I've used Tried and True for the past decade and never had any issues with it. Some people have trouble with drying times but for the most part, it's always worked for me. all the best~
I am a binger. All the while you have been cutting from one side of the wood. how do you make sure that you are not deviating from the cut line on the other side (not visible to you) which was there on camera's side. every time I try to resaw any board I remain perfectly aligned on cut line on my side however in variably I move away from the other side resulting in crooked shaped off cuts. the only way I am able to do is to keep alternating direction from where I am operating the saw, almost every 2 to 3 inches which is painful :-(( please help.!!!!
Atif, thanks for the interest. The key for me is to create a saw kerf around the perimeter of the board before resawing. I made a special tool called the Kerfing plane to do this with. Look around my UA-cam channel and website, and you'll find much information on this. It's a combination between a hand plane and rip saw and cuts a shallow kerf in the board. I place the frame saw blade into the kerf, and I don't have to worry about the cut. The kerfs guide the frame saw and keep the cut in line. thanks again and all the best-
bravo pour tout ce que vous nous présentez sachant que toutes vos réalisations sont faites à la main et ce n'est pas facile toutes mes félicitations. une question hors sujet peut -on lire tous les mots tatoué sur votre bras gauche? et nous dire pourquoi c'est en arabe? merci
Thanks for the question - the answer is yes, I have tried it's a pull saw but prefer as a push. The motion seems a little more natural and there's much less saw dust coming back through the kerf. Cheers!
This particular one is half that size but it's designed for smaller scale/cabinet size resawing applications. I have multiple sizes- 48" is definitely the largest and I use mine only when resawing very large materials which isn't all that often.
+Tim Kotanko Thanks Tim- thankfully, UA-cam sends me an email notification as soon as someone comments! The blade came from Bad Axe Tool Works in the USA. Here's a link for more info: www.badaxetoolworks.com/kpfs all the best~
Hello Tom! Thanks for the video. I have not made a thing since my 8th grade shop class... Well a long long time ago. I have always been discouraged from woodworking and other things well because I was a girl...then, now I am woman and am still discouraged; this is not a woman's place according to my family. Very old fashioned. Well all that being said I am slowly purchasing items to get started on a very low budget but I'm a little afraid of power tools. I would love to make and have these two tools you made so beautifully... But do you think this is something a complete novice can do?
Audra- thank you for the comments and question. Start with the basics and in no time at all you'll be able to make some tools. Absolutely- no question. MOST of my students these days are women- so don't listen to anyone who says this isn't a woman's place!! Do what you love ( and love what you do ) all the best~
Tom, now that you have used it, do you feel that the size of the stock used for the saw may be a little too thick? Also, the species of wood used is beautiful but did you find it a bit heavy in use? Love your saw and want to make one myself so I guess I'm looking for your own critique on what you might have done different? Thanks Hope you get a chance to check out my channel--Arborist Blair Glenn
+arboristBlairGlenn thanks for the question. As for weight and size of the stock, not at all. The walnut isn't very heavy and the extra weight is actually beneficial. I've since made a larger version of this saw and it works even better. You'll find details on my website- www.theUnpluggedWoodshop.com all the best~
Tom, Like the hand saw, question, do you sell your parents at what you make? If you do, I would like to order some of your parents, like the hand saw that you were making. Thanks
Hi Aaron, thanks for the comments and question. If you're looking to make your own Frame Saw, then good news- you'll find detailed plans and building instruction in my last book- The Unplugged Woodshop. If you're looking into me building you one, I'll be offering a limited line of custom hand tools this winter. Watch my website for details. www.anunpluggedlife.com/ all the best~

Quick Question: is it easier to use with a side vice or a tail vice, where you can stand square-on to the piece?
The MoQingbird, great question. Ideally, I use my Lying Press ( Moxon style vise ) across the end of my bench. But on my workbench, I prefer resawing in the end tail vice.

It is a bit short but OK for any stock under 8-in. wide. Small cabinet parts similar to the projects in my books. I have a new blade on its way that's 6-in. longer; as well as an over sized 36-in. blade. I'm going to make a video/blog post showing some variations one of these days.
Cheers!
Where did you gr the blade?
Really nice saw :)
What would the difference from this one and a bow saw be? (For use)
Thanks McGinn-
Besides the obvious difference of size- a bow saw is designed to turn in the cut. The handles and blade can rotate and you can saw into fairly tight curves. This frame saw is designed specific for large, straight cuts. IE: resawing.

MOST of my students these days are women- so don't listen to anyone who says this isn't a woman's place!! Do what you love ( and love what you do )
all the best~
Tom, now that you have used it, do you feel that the size of the stock used for the saw may be a little too thick? Also, the species of wood used is beautiful but did you find it a bit heavy in use? Love your saw and want to make one myself so I guess I'm looking for your own critique on what you might have done different? Thanks
Hope you get a chance to check out my channel--Arborist Blair Glenn
+arboristBlairGlenn thanks for the question. As for weight and size of the stock, not at all. The walnut isn't very heavy and the extra weight is actually beneficial. I've since made a larger version of this saw and it works even better. You'll find details on my website- www.theUnpluggedWoodshop.com
all the best~
Tom,
Like the hand saw, question, do you sell your parents at what you make? If you do, I would like to order some of your parents, like the hand saw that you were making. Thanks
Hi Aaron,
thanks for the comments and question.
If you're looking to make your own Frame Saw, then good news- you'll find detailed plans and building instruction in my last book- The Unplugged Woodshop.
If you're looking into me building you one, I'll be offering a limited line of custom hand tools this winter.
Watch my website for details.

Great craftsmanship, but I would have enjoyed your video more without the repetitive music in the background.
I made it with Woodglut plans!
