A bow saw project #3: Am I running out of projects?

This is a nice looking saw. I’ve thought about making one of these, but I don’t know if I would ever use it. Stuck on my Japanese saws. Guess I could just hang it on the wall. Thanks for the post.

Great Work. Maybe I’ll try this one day!!

Nice work. Once you have all those hand made tools, you might want to think about making something for the house ;)

Tim, How do you cut curves with a Japanese saw?

Hi Tex;

Nice work here. The color choices, or should I say wood choices, are really nice.

You could make one of these with carved handles. I started one a while back, but never finished it.

As Tim mentioned, I too like the Japanese saws, but I did make a bow saw, without the carving, and it is hanging on the wall. I use it every once in a while.

I have a lot of some day projects to finish.

Nice post.

Nice bow saw! Running out of projects? I think the world will run out of wood before I run out projects :).

For handmade tool projects, I’m working on a panel gauge right now. Dorje and I were both working on the project, but both had a bad reaction to the Rosewood. I think we might need to find a different type of wood to use, so that we can finish up the project.

Very carefully, Scott. Actually, I didn’t even notice the flavor of blade in this saw. Usually I see guys cutting dovetails with these. Now that opens up a whole new prospect, as long as I can turn the blade around and cut on the pull stroke.

Very nice job. I’ve been thinking about this project when I get my shop finished.

That’s a beaut, Tex. I can see you banging out doves like Frank Klausz with that. There’s a video out there were he swings one of those around like it grew out of his arm. Here's the link, from Popular Woodworking.

I appreciate your vote of confidence, Douglas… I need a trick blade like he has, and about three lifetimes of experience. And that Germanic accent… I sort of feel like I’m watching some Old Testament-type holy ritual which will only happen once in our lifetime so we should be glad we saw it when I watch “The Klaus.” I feel a blog coming on…
