    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!

    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

    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 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.

    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.

    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...

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 років тому

      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-

    • @bilbaggins1

    What are the two wooden loops used for?

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 років тому

      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~

    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.

    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

  • @TheMoQingbird

    Quick Question: is it easier to use with a side vice or a tail vice, where you can stand square-on to the piece?

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 років тому

      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.

  • @albertrasch4793
    @albertrasch4793 10 років тому +2

    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

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 років тому +1

      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-

    • @ronin4711
      @ronin4711 10 років тому +1

      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!

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 років тому

      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~

  • @petermarsh4993
    @petermarsh4993 4 роки тому

    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.

  • @DavidKirtley
    @DavidKirtley 11 років тому +1

    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.

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  11 років тому +1

      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!

    What would the difference from this one and a bow saw be? (For use)

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  11 років тому +1

      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!

    @AtifHasanReflections 10 років тому +1

    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.!!!!

    • @theUnpluggedWoodshop
      @theUnpluggedWoodshop  10 років тому

      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-

      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.

    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?

      +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.

      all the best~

    Great craftsmanship, but I would have enjoyed your video more without the repetitive music in the background.
