Woodworking with traditional hand tools is a nice change of pace from working with woodworking power tools and machinery. After a marathon of working in my wood shop I needed to spend some time outside doing something simple. I’ve had a saw blade for a frame saw for years and finally got a notion to make the wooden frame. Most of the work was done on my handmade shaving horse. You can learn more about it here- https://youtu.be/egWASf3b6R0 The main tools used where an axe, froe, draw knife, spoke shave, saws, auger and chisels. The saw is simple, it has two handles and a cross beam. The blade is tensioned with chord by twisting it with a small flat piece of wood, tension is held by the small piece of wood resting on the cross beam, keeping the chord twisted. It basically works like a hack saw. I hope you enjoy the video.

Such a satisfying video
I always look around for instructions, and I always coming back here- your videos are clear, and nicely made- very pleasant too. Subscribed bro~ I’m right behind you in crafting and things, also homesteading- learning alot from you matey!
Mad skills…….👍🏻
Stodoys is nice for that.
I’ve never seen a brace drill of that design before. Mine have a standard chuck.
I have one with a shoulder brace, hourglass like frame, and a level on it. No markings as to make and model.
Good job!
I’m trying to build one of these but am struggling to find the exact length of the middle piece. How do you determine it please?
Very knice!! New sub!

احسنت صنعا يا رجل
Nice job! What size was the blade? I like the joints on the handles. Would you do anything differently?
I gotta build a bench like that. Never seen anything like it.
A very nice informative video. Thank you Sir!
I learned some things. Thanks!
This is brilliant. What kind of bench is that which you used to shape the wood?
That beautiful tree was the house for birds, you know? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Very nice work especially from stump lumber all hand cut shaped and bored. I especially like your design. Very nice work and video.
awesome craftsmanship the only thing i can criticize really are the shoes
Sooo cool seeing someone in your age group actually having some talent besides playing video games! Stay safe and keep on making/teaching us at the same time!
Excellent video, thank you. I’m impressed by the variety of your video mix and look forward to watching and learning more.
Modern to you going
Very nice video. What woods did you use?
I personally love woodworking hand tools, and this video was like a warm cup of cocoa on a chilly evening. Thank you for not shying away from the ‘old way ‘of making things!
Nice long bench! How to make it bro?
I would recommend to never use steel on steel when splitting wood. My brother got a fingertip sized piece of steel shoot up his forearm. the thing entered and traveled another 2.5 in through the flesh until it stopped. Had to be removed via sugery. Imagine the thing hitting your eye or an artery.
Brilliant
