Very interesting to see how different cultures came to very similar solutions to the same problem, but with some very subtle differences

Brilliant video John, I love how the Western and Chinese saws have some differences but are generally very similar and achieve the same job. Just goes to show that there's so many ways to achieve one goal. Really well made and explained, think I'm gonna put that on my list! - Clint

I really like your series about Chinese woodworking tools. They are little known in the west.

[@dstrindevall]

G'day, John. Really nice saw you made there. I'm hyped to see the rest of your tool builds!

Great video John, thankyou for sharing. Very interesting comparing your Chinese frame saw build with Paul Seller’s European frame saw.
