Great video. I am giving my saws to my daughter. I wanted to tell her the different saws for different woods. It is very clear now with your explanations. Key Man
I was excited to to see the difference in teeth, didn't see them. Very good view on the straws, the wood, the chisel, the knife and the spine of a saw, not so much for the teeth of the saws. Camera flattens the image (similar to using only one eye, but with less sensitivity) so shapes have to be demostrated with silhouettes, etc. (Actually, if only you would have shown the teeth on both saws like you showed the back of the saw around @1:50-2:55, that might have also worked, because the lighting, the focus and the shooting distance looked perfect.) Lot of painstaking explanation with demonstrations on equipment not up to the job, but not enough of the most relevant thing shown. Try shooting over the teeth and along the blade to show the difference. That's the important bit. That and showing the cuts of both saws in both directions. Everything else is secondary.
I look 5 or 6 videos to understand the difference between rip and cross cut, but the only video that really explain the difference is this . Thank you for your explanation, now i can use the correct saw.
Hey man, thanks for clear explanation around two types. This is the best video I've found with good practical examples. I'm researching about saws and the question I have is about the blade shape. Do you know why the saw has this shape? I mean, wide blade closer the hand and narrow at the end. I appreciate any tip. Cheers dude
+Marcenaria Amadora I appreciate the positive comment. I'm glad you were blessed by the video. Sorry for the late reply I'm a seasonal youtube content provider. Usually in the winter season when things slow down is when I'm more active.
Marcenaria Amadora, I know why. Western Saws cut during each push stroke; and when you push, the force from the hand is maximally distributed if the blade is made wider at the proximal part (part of the saw near the hand grip) of the saw. In Western Saws, most of the sawing is done at the proximal part. So the saw is best engineered when the blade is wider proximally. So you get a triangular blade. On the other hand, Eastern Saws (example, Japanese saws) cut on each pull stroke; and the force generated from pulling results in the force being more evenly distributed throughout a blade with a wisp of force greater near the tip of the blade. This means the saw is best engineered when the blade is rectangular to mildly trapezoidal. So you get a rectangular-trapezoidal blade.
I never knew the difference, that was very helpful. What if I can only get either one? Which one should I get, seeing that one is better at cutting against and one with the grains?
Best explanation I ever seen!!! Thank you very much for an excellent video! Alberto from Uruguay.
Great explanation - easy for me to follow along. Thank you.

Gonna be honest here and say I wasn't expecting much at first, but you explained really well. Good video.
Excellent teaching. Apt to teach. Thank you very much, from Texas.
This is excellent. I'm going to keep this in case my technical theater students need a really strong visual for why you use each saw.

Marcenaria Amadora,
I know why. Western Saws cut during each push stroke; and when you
push, the force from the hand is maximally distributed if the blade is
made wider at the proximal part (part of the saw near the hand grip) of
the saw. In Western Saws, most of the sawing is done at the proximal
part. So the saw is best engineered when the blade is wider proximally.
So you get a triangular blade.
On the other hand, Eastern Saws (example, Japanese saws) cut on each
pull stroke; and the force generated from pulling results in the force
being more evenly distributed throughout a blade with a wisp of force greater near the tip of the blade. This means the saw is best engineered when the blade is rectangular to mildly trapezoidal. So you get a rectangular-trapezoidal blade.
you almost put my eye out with that chisel
Well explained...thanks

You rock man thanks for the lesson God bless
Great explanation and demo.
first youtube result when searching "ripsaw vs crosscut"
you could have written 'cross cut saw ' and 'rip saw ' on saws, this would have made your video a lucid one.
Thank you more knowledge
pretty much all you need to know between the two
thumbs up
Shoutout to Mr Bauer for teaching me this and I didn’t listen
Thanks sir
Thank you!
Tq bro :)
Por fin entendí.
