FrameSaw for carpenter and woodworker
Building a FrameSaw with changeable blades for sawing WetWood, Rip & CrossCut, CurveCut. It can be put in pieces to carry while hiking or to harvest wood in the forest. No power-tools, silent hand-tools only. While building i use my existing saw to demonstrate its functionality. Also my selfmade Workbench was of great help! Open full description for more INFO! ------------------------------------- What wood is used? - It is Rowan, also called Mountain Ash. It grows in our little forest, is quite hard, very flexible and i love the grain. The pieces used are dried for about two years. What finishing has been applied? - It is self-made wood finish, mixed with different plant oils like Linseedoil, Tungoil, Poppyseedoil and some Standoil. Later some beeswax will be applied. What measurements are needed? - Nothing else, than the length of the blade. Where to get blades? - Mine are made in Germany by E.C.E. They are sold by good handtool shops. Why the handles are not self-made? - I still had a ready pair in my storage. Only the lack has been removed for oiling. What parts came from a shop? - Additional to the handles, also the blades, the saw blade holders and the hempstring came from my tool-shop. One saw for all - are there situations, where this saw is not good? - Yes, there are! For very fine cuts, i prefer my small saw or my japanese saw. Even, if japanese blades are available for frame saws, i would prefer a smaller and more handy one. But that is just my own taste... For any further question or idea, feel free to comment :-)
