Push saw

Hey man, i just found your channel tonight, and it is extremely encouraging. I too myself am a relatively young guy with a real passion for traditional woodworking. I am perhaps a little further behind in my development, only been going for a couple of years, but making some quite good stuff. My question is this, are you able to make a living? I struggle to find the market that cares not just what you make, but how you make it. I understand this isnt really related to this particular video, but where im from in England, I struggle to find anyone that really understands (or cares) what it means to be a craftsman. When almost all machine shops label their stuff as 'handmade', I feel that people lose sense of what that really means. Im determined for it to be work and not just a hobby, but for sure we are needles in a haystack. Anyway, im so pleased to see a woodworker that i can truly relate to, and felt the need to express that. Keep up the brilliant work mate! Matt from UK

Magnifique travail ! 😃👍

Thank you sir.🎉

Great job, your saw has that little extra and that shows!

This is great, I really like how much thought you put into details like gluing up pieces to get straight grain for the middle rail. I'm gradually making my way through all your videos!

Esa es la evanisteria que megusta , con herramientas manualesexelente saludos desde Argentina

Exelent.....!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Glad I found this. Your skill is amazing and your interest in old school woodworking is inspiring. I subscribed and will be looking at everything else you put in CZcams. Thanks for taking the extra time to make videos of your fine work. .

I always use a push stroke when using coping saws, I have never used a bow saw yet

good job man, I totally agree with not building a bench right away, I haven't really set up my shop yet either. I have been working for about a year to see what I need and where it is best for the space, build it once hopefully . Thaks for tsking the time out to make this

i seen this years ago and still come back one of the best woodworkers i know with handtool skills like you have keep it up brother

@GillisBjork jag tror quartersawn korresponderar närmare till kvarterssågat där man sågar stocken i fyra 90° sektorer och sedan tar ut brädorna parallellt med sektorns mittlinje. Radialsågat är när man tar ut varje bräda så att årsringarna går nästan rakt genom brädans tjocklek. Mittenbrädan från varje kvart i kvarterssågat blir radialsågad.

When raising the panels if you do the long grain first it stops breakout when you do the end grain. Also I feel cheeky saying that because you're 20 times the woodworker i am!

IMPRESSIONANTE SUAS HISTÓRIAS, adorei, na vida, por mais que você saiba, sempre aprenderá algo…, hoje estou mais sábio vendo seu magnífico trabalho e talento. Abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷

Excellent and thank you. I think I will make your design this year.

💯👍🏻🥳🍻🍻✌🏻🇺🇲

Thanks for another video 😃If may I ask, did you notice any differences in sawing and carving the stabilized wood compared to regular wood? Was it harder or more difficult? Thanks again 🙂

Another great video!

I love the pink in beech as well, but that stain looks more like a rosewood. It's very difficult to get a color tone right.

Pura vida Gillis excelente su diseño del mango de madera de su serrucho.gillis I have a question Do you change your workbench because it looks different? If you have a video from your workbench let me know thanks because I want to make one workbench I could take ideas from your workbench.pura vida guys and gillis

These are great! New follower. Like your work!

Great job, your sawing skill really nice. And I'm just think about is it worth to make more videos on CZcams, Filming clipping so much time it takes and just like that.😅

Looks very professional. Very nice.

Super cool

The ability to hand saw that plank in half along its length was impressive. Lots of practice I’m guessing.

Nice job !! Sometimes the “ unnecessary” things turn out to be very necessary. The carving and blade shaping took this from a nice user made saw to a very nice custom saw. As far as using stabilized wood I think it was a very good decision. Even if the climate was more stable. It is an heirloom quality tool why not use it?

Very nicely made, a beautiful tool that will inspire beautiful work. 👍

Great work, that saw should last you many years. What oil-wax finish did you use? I'm looking for one that does not darken the wood finish. Jack

Oh nice Blackburn tools actually sent you something. I’ve been waiting 9 months for my shit and that asshole Issac can’t be bothered to reply to fucking emails.

It was worth making such a beautiful saw simply because you felt like doing it. I bet every time you'll grab this saw, that grimacing leaf and the gracefully shaped blade will put you in a good mood 🙂. Thank you for sharing your craftmanship in this very enjoyable format of video.

Where did you source the various parts from…?

He is beautiful. Why are there no carrying handles? Well, the front wall is not covered with a shutter.

Very well done. I enjoy your videos. You have a conversational delivery that's comfortable to watch/listen to. No obnoxious music or self promotion of products makes your channel a favorite. Thanks for sharing.

oh i like that tip about scoring metal with a file much cleaner easer cut then with a hack saw

Very, very cool! I'm definitely going to try that at some point!

Truly amazing work, dude! Wonderful saw!!! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Cool! Version 2.0 of the saw you built years ago. Soaking the handle in boiled linseed oil for several hours with a wipe down and buff also offers a lot of protection and stability, but significantly cheaper and easier to work with than epoxy.

Beautiful saw! Great work :^)

Is embellishments ok on a tool? You said it yourself…”It was fun”. What better reason?

Even in a climate controlled shop, your saw will wick sweat off your palm. Stabilized wood is a good choice if you are using a wax top coat. (Polyurethane tool finishes are made of blisters) I really like the angle of attack between the handle and saw plate, looks comfortable to cut with.

Very Nice video! I find the commitment to hand dimensioning inspiring, as it will be what I'll have to do myself due to space constaints. Also a truly impressive amount of carving on display! I particularly like the little detail of making the panel tapers concave, it adds a lot. About the drawer bottoms, I understand your concern towards grooving the drawer front (though it would have probably been fine structurally, especially after glueing up the drawer frame), and the edge grain-to-edge grain butt joint forces you to glue at least that face as a result. What I don't really understand is why you generally would want to glue in the bottom, or use a screw and slot in the back board. The bottom will still keep your drawer square, glue or no glue, as the drawer sides are held parallel by the long-grain drawer bottoms (which won't shrink and can be fitted closely). As for the front and back boards (which are in line with the shirinkage direction), a groove in the drawer front to take downward forces and also allow for some shrinkage is the common solution. By fixing the bottom to the back rail with a single nail you can still easily adjust if the botton should shrink excessively (by removing the nail, sliding the bottom along, and re-tanailng), and you can easily replace the bottom if ever necessary. It is my understanding that traditionally, drawer bottoms would not be glued in, for those reasons (well those and the strong direction of the wood (longgrain) being also being the one supported on both sides by the grooves).I hope my explanation is not too hard to follow!

My desire to sand the brass edges is very high. I like them rounded over. Not an issue just my preference. I like the old brass backs that are kind of blob shaped like a jolly rancher. I touch the back often too. Making the feel matter to me.

Nicely done! Shop tools are the best place to experiment with design and carving in my opinion and there's no issue with you wanting to add decorations to some tools and not others.

I have hand tools that I have made over forty years ago I still get as much appreciation for them now as the day I made them. I don't do a lot of metal working so I enjoy the opportunity to stretch my skill set I carved a vine leaf pattern into the brass spine of mine which was very relaxing.

Thanks Gillis ,that saw turned out great. They are not cheap to buy even in the parts to make your own. This is better to me .

Good
