Best design for a improvised BOWSAW - Tips & Tricks - How to bushcraft a bow saw- the physics behind

[@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival]

I really enjoy how you always "go the extra mile" in explaining how to do your projects in a more professional and better manner.

[@WayPointSurvival]

Absolutely! He does this extremely well!

[@davnadz]

Good tips: pre-bending, cord to hold, and slotting after bend. Thank you!

[@FelixImmler]

You are so welcome! Your comment makes me happy. Thanks a lot!

[@davidbenner2289]

Good. A new way to pre-bend.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your feedback!

@@FelixImmler years ago one of my sons, a bonafide genius IQ, made now saws like you do here. He was about ten-years old and, with his brothers, made cabins and huts in the forest around our farm. He has "bug-out" kits that I call "adventure kits" that have just saw blades. I will reintroduce thin film cans with rolled up saw blades in them, to go with regular commercial saws I already have. I have course and fine wood cutting blades, metal and bone blades. All you need is a frame and handle, which is easy to make. I have made buck saws, like "H" frame saw, in the past. I am good at carving, finish carpentry, wood flooring and windows. As well as stone masonry, regular carpentry, roofing and tree trimming and felling. I am good in woods crafts. Starting as a child, learning from local people and tribesmen at first. I passed it onto my children. Your classes spark a renewal in my youth that I pass onto my grandchildren. We learn from all around us, having thousands of hectares of woodlands and forests to travel in. One son not even two weeks ago bough a small farm with a crystal clear river running through it (a fenced off meadow for his banded galloway cows) in the Highlands of West Virginia. Perfect for teaching and raising children in.

I have seen this before in another video but yours is much much better. Pre bent, applying cordage, wooden pins, all golden tips.

Beautiful country and nice weather you get great inventions and smart people.

[@FelixImmler]

Yes, thank you 👍👍

[@waldvagabund-outdoorcb-funkund]

[@blueeyeswhitedragon9839]

Very nice Felix. I have on occasion found old saw blades in abandoned farms, and now I know an easy & safe way to make a quick bow saw with nothing more than my Swiss Army Knife and a twig. Your video explained the entire procedure with accuracy and attention to detail. The only distraction was the beautiful background ! 😊🇨🇦

[@FelixImmler]

Haa ha haa, thanks a lot for your funny comment!

[@jimstewart5739]

VERY well done! The planning, explanation and execution are certainly evident. Thanks for another excellent video...!

And in two weeks: How to build a disk saw using a circular saw blade and a water wheel (after the chicken is done on the water powered rotisserie). YOU can do that, Felix! 👍

[@wiseowl151]

It’s a really valuable technique , i enjoyed this video and can’t wait to see the next saw. But hence, i think the making of the bowsaw will prove beeing easier in the field. See you soon, Felix, and thank you.

I m gonna try that !

Nice one again Felix.... thank you !

Thank you too! 😊😊

[@regmountain2224]

To make your bow saw (push as well as pull). You make a large diameter bowl, and place a cross stick in the middle of the bow. Similar to the way you made your buck saw. By making a large bowl and putting in the crossbar, it gives you the rigidity to push as well as pull and because the bow is larger, you still get your depth of cut to the crossbar.

Wonderful video! I loved the presentation with how and why you go through each step as you do. The only complaint I have is with the flashing text in the opening, as I'm photosensitive.

[@FelixImmler]

Thanks a lot for your nice feedback!

[@OdeeOz]

Very nifty tips for making a bow saw, Felix!. But, at the 10:33 mark area, I would have run at lease 2 laps of string on the open end, and carried the rest over the saw blade to fasten the upper blade side too. Wouldn't want my blade jamming and coming out of the bow. That could hurt.

[@waynehaylett6662]

Best video on utube explaining this project,just wondering what knot you used to hold tension in stick

[@jimpublic]

Ach jetzt hab ich’s kapiert... die Leute, die die Bäume umarmen, sind gar keine Waldesotheriker, die bauen sich eine Säge 🪚 😉😜🤓 ... aber Spaß beiseite: tolle Tipps, danke Felix!

[@FelixImmler]

Danke Jim!

[@jimf1964]

The buck saw will always beat a bow saw, because there's a little extra weight to push down while cutting. I love buck saws for bucking wood (thus the name) , but if you have to cut down something? .....I'm really thankful for the detailed and easy instructions Felix. Thanks!

[@FelixImmler]

Hello Jim. Thanks a lot for your super interesting words!

[@federicohanhausen9431]

Dear Felix, I love your enthusiasm and passion! I am a big Swiss Army fan and have learned a lot from you! I allways have a small knife in my keychain and used to have a small leatherman but it was confiscated at the airport (silly me i forgot to leave it at home) so i needed a replacement so i got the Swiss Army Mini Champ in alox (So the other keys dont scratch it as much) and was very surprised how good it feels even bieng so small. I think you dont have any videos on the smaller versions. Maby it could be intresting.

[@TC-th1ey]

You should take a gander at Felix's EDC knife video. You may be pleasantly surprised!

[@federicohanhausen9431]

@@TC-th1ey Oh yes! I never saw this video thank you.

[@markreber4880]

Excellent video Felix, what a great idea! Could save a lot a space on a camping trip as well. By the way, what lake is that in the background?

[@terrycheek4097]

I really like this approach for crafting a bow saw in the field. I do have a question. Would you prefer to pack a crafted bow saw into the woods or just pack a blade and craft one if needed? As always thank you for the excellent video instruction.

[@weldeadlobes86]

Use some key rings instead of the pins to hold the blade in. Edit.. I guess i should watch the whole video next time lol. Love your videos man.
