    Are you aware of a saw that used to be quite common here in the Netherlands: the "schrobzaag". Could be translated as a scrubsaw.
    It is like a panelsaw with a narrow blade, tapered to the end and with an open handle.
    It was used to roughly saw curved lines.

      Those are quite common all over the world. We call them _keyhole saws._ He demonstrates one in the video starting at 4:54. The handle on his is a gent handle, but keyhole saws are available with all kinds of handles and in many different configurations.

    Personally, I've come to love western style tools. On the other hand, I find having the Japanese saws and planes are indispensable when doing certain kinds of jobs - especially when workholding or positioning is an issue as they are way easier to use in weird places.
    Western saws really expect you to have a certain setup, whereas the Japanese ones seem to be ideal for a guy doing stuff on the go or in an inconvenient place - the long, round handles and ease of starting and use lean into that. Frames saws, to me, feel like the power tools of the set, as they can just attack things at a surprising speed but are the most prone to goofy results thanks to being touchy and needing a lot of awareness.

  • @mikesalmo
    @mikesalmo 9 місяців тому +2

    I tried Japanese saws but have the “slightly off turns into way off” problem. I mostly use western saws.
    But sometimes I want the precision of a backsaw, but too deep of a cut for it. I don’t have one as deep as a tenon saw. I’ll start the cut with the backsaw and switch to a ryoba to finish it. Total hackery, but it works.
    If you say “fret saw” I think of a narrow kerf (usually gent) saw for cutting fret slots. Some have a stop built in, but I use a mitre box-like jig that catches the back at the right depth. I forget people call coping saws that. Now I’ll say djent saw. (metal dad joke)

    not sure if it is a skill thing, manufacturing error or the saw design itself. but i find the ryoba saws doesnt track straight with very hard wood unless the grain is perfectly straight. its almost like the saw is so flexible and thin, the wood grain is dictating where the saw goes. its specifically a problem with Jarra, ironbark and spotted gum. its a shame they happen to be my favourite woods.
    More than happy to accept its a skill issue, which means the problem will go away with time and practice.

    The best thing for the Japanese saw is the thin kerf. Just makes hand sawing so much easier. Some western frame saws approach that, but then you've got a lot of weight you're pushing back and forth and it gets tiring again. Oh yes, and the ergonomics can be spectacular when you learn about the floor props: low little saw horses. You can really go to town.

    Isn't what you called a keyhole saw called a pad saw? Is that just another name for the same tool, or are they actually different? I assumed a keyhole saw was non-collapsible, and the pad saw allowed the blade to retract/collapse into into the handle. Any clarification would be appreciated. Great video as usual!

      @@WoodByWrightHowTo Well, James, the only thing I could disagree with in this otherwise excellent video is found right here in your reply. Technically speaking, a keyhole saw and a pad saw are two separate saws. A compass saw is the same as a keyhole saw, but a pad saw is a pad saw. Now, for sure, people use those two terms synonymously, but originally they were two different saws-ahem, which essentially did the same thing! But the pad saw’s blade was adjustable; the keyhole saw’s blade was a fixed length. That’s the main difference. 😉

He did lots of great project with that small arsenal. He did add a scroll and band saw after I moved out! I got the bandsaw when he moved south.
    I have a few more than he did. A hand saw, measures in at 26”, a carcass saw, a sash saw, a coping saw, and a Ryobi. Well okay I have Dad’s band saw a table saw, powered miter saw, jig saw, a Skil circular saw, reciprocating saw, oscillating saw, oh and I remembered key hole saw, hack saw, bow saw to cut the Christmas Tree and I think that is all of them. WOW, I must do a lot of cutting! I do dovetails, and mortise and tension joints with my back or ryobi saws. But I also use carpenter chisels to run them up.

    I do take exception with some of your complaints re Gents’ and Japanese saws, though. From what I’ve seen from other UA-camrs, it seems your complaints come from using those saws with less-than ideal techniques. For example, I understand from watching Paul Sellers’ videos that the Gents’ saw handle should not be held like a handshake. A better grip results in the saw being held more comfortably higher up.
    But hey, we like what we like, I get it. I just think our explanations for why we don’t like things should not be based on incorrect or misleading information.

    nothing you said about japanese saws was all that triggering. there was a video on another channel a couple of months back that actuallly managed to trigger me mostly because of half truths and preferences disguised as facts wihtout enough research on the subject. but your arguments are solid. I find that most criticism for japanase saws comes from two types A) powertool guys who threw too much money at western style saws and now are too proud to admit that something that is cheaper than what they bought might serve them just as well for their need B) people lack patience to learn body mechanics. I can undestand having a different prefence, but saying that style of saw if worse without putting the effort toward learning a proper technique ticks me off.
    One thing I find quite difficult - resawing thick stock, me saw tends to follow the grain and so far I have been unable to reliably resaw boards. Classic rip cut (withing 2") is fine, but otherwise I struggle, so if you ever make video about ripping with Japanese saws, I will be glad.
