Thank you . Simon . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

[@matthewtanner9823]

I've just been for a walk with my dog up into the hills. It had been snowing and was cold but I felt compelled to sit there and do something. I wish I'd watched this video beforehand and had the right components to make a buck saw. I would still be there now. Thanks for sharing and giving me the insentive, I'll be doing it soon.

[@davidstorm4911]

I normally pin my blade but I like the idea of the spilt rings. Build once correctly, it will last a very long time. Enjoyed your videos. Liked mate

[@richardallis663]

Been watching you and Andy's use of this saw and have been wanting one. I got the general idea just from watching the assembly and still shots but to see you make one just makes me want to make my own. Yeah, I got the shop for it. I got tools that fix tools! My wife and I enjoy the camps, the cooks and the bushcraft. It has inspired me to do the truck camp thing. I will be building a pop up canopy soon. Like you I do a lot of my own makeshift builds and sew my own bags and do my own repairs. We live in the Pacific Northwest in the Mt.s and plenty of overnight spots along the rivers and lakes surrounding us. Thanks for sharing.

[@daveboyer2447]

that is the simplest instructions ive seen for a saw and you wouldnt even need to take all the pieces to save on weight nice!!!

[@georgepennington8534]

Thanks for another great video! I'm in Alabama, in the USA, and have been watching for some time now. Thanks again!

[@MegaAaron42]

Professional wood workers act like its so easy and make it look so easy but the reality of doing this is much different!!

[@patrickwalsh4398]

Very late, I know, But great informative vid and plan on making this with my son. Thank you Simon!

[@WarrenKimpel]

another nice useful video THANKS

[@stevencamp6824]

Man of many talents

[@larrybadman9965]

YOU DID A GREAT JOB, AS IT CONCERNS THE BUCKSAW IN THE WOODS AND THE BUCKSAW IN THE LAB WITH ASHWOOD. THE ONLY EXTRA THING THAT I WOULD DO, ACCORDING TO THE BUCKSAW IN THE FIELD IS, TO CUT OFF ALL THE EDGES FROM THE TWO SIDE PARTS AND MAKE THEM MORE CIRCULAR, IN CASE, I USE IT FOR LONG TIME, JUST NOT TO HARM THE PALMS. OTHERWISE, EVERYTHING IS EXCELLENT. THE BEST BLADE SAWS IN THE MARKET, IN MY OPINION, ARE FROM BAHCO AND AUGUSTA. VERY GOOD VIDEO AND YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN DETAILS.

[@earlelzy7243]

I did enjoy this video to give me an idea for my next diy project.

[@Darltornjacket]

Nice. Very straight forward and doable

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

It’s good fun too. 👍😁

[@trekkingturtle4157]

You are a talented bloke, carpenter boat builder, tailor, chef, and the list goes on. Brilliant job.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks mate! 👍

[@robthompson1399]

Great job there. I really like how you displayed three different cuts too 👍. I think that any video that leaves me wanting to go out and make something must be a winner !

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

I usually carry a bent spiral nail and a couple finishing nails in my repair kit as I am holding the top of my homemade bag open w a 20"(21"?) Utility blade! Great build, thanks!

[@danmal333]

So far you are my favorite on you tube

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you!

[@ericg1971]

Glad i saw your video.......videos as i saw a few that lead to this one ...........gonna make a few as presents and one for myself , love the whole design etc and thanks for sharing your expertise along with the name of the blade maker ........already searched them out and will be ordering

[@richardpearson5036]

Been a subscriber of yours for quite a while Simon, I've been meaning to start right at your beginnings for a long while and so here we go. Loving the buck saw by the way .

[@keithanoldguyoutdoors4778]

My next project...great video thanks...👍

[@bernarddevera9842]

A double thumbs up definitely..Keep your videos running..

[@CFWaittoleave]

It’s a beautiful thing . Rewarding to say the least.

[@annebeginn2034]

Ive been wanting a buck saw for a wee while, my hubby set too and made me one out of an old chair that had seen its best. Fabulous works really well, I just need to make it a bag now. So simple and efficient ☺️

USEFUL BUSH CRAFT SKILLS.... YOU GO DAWG... I LOVE IT

[@Bowwylad]

Thanks do much for this Simon, managed to make one finally, took two attempts and a huge struggle. Do not give up people, its not that easy as Simon makes it look :)

[@JEBOOUTDOORS]

Great skills and presentation, Simon! thanks a lot

[@ebony5766]

I really enjoyed this step by step video. I'm at my cabin for a week and this will be a great project!

[@daveb6]

I have 3. Two boys and a girl all between 2 and 13. I work away from home a lot but hopefully for not much longer. I live on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. 🇨🇦 Perfect for bushcraft. CHEERS

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

dave b - very, very envious of where you live!! If I could emigrate to anywhere in the world, I think it would be B.C. !! I have a friend who lives on Vancouver island, makes me jealous all the time! Atb, and good luck with the change in work situation!

[@gordonmccalister1892]

Hi Simon, Just looking back through some of your older videos. I am glad that you left teaching and are a happy man/ father/ Husband. I am also happy you are still teaching us all! You have a gift for giving us knowledge, and I for one appreciate it. Please stay safe in this time and when you can keep teaching us. Hello again from Indiana. Cheers

[@ge8448]

Awesome as usual. Thank you

[@aaronlietz]

Excellent video! Thank you so much!

[@danandmoniquecarson7382]

Simon, your great. Thank you

[@marknthetrails7627]

you made that look really, really easy. 👍✌🥃

[@everready19373]

Very cool. I would have notched the upright for the cordage though. I makes set up and take down a lot easier.

[@zacharyquisenberry89]

I have to practice making one of these until I have the skill. thank you Simon.

[@Ginny2708]

Very nice and doable even for someone like me who has no woodworking or bushcraft skills to speak of.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

It’s a nice little project to do in the evening around the fire - hope it comes out well! 👍

[@jacksg1809]

Hi Simon been binge watching Ur videos while I've been sick with flu . Love this saw seen Ur mate Kent survival use one too. Talking of Andy I laugh alot when u two are out together 🤣 .

[@I-am-Sam]

Brilliant. Well demonstrated and made. I like it a lot and will make myself one. Thank you very much.

[@rodbennettakakampzite5448]

Very nice! You Carpenters make it look really easy.. An hour for you, most of the day for me...lol. 😄

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Hahaha! Thanks Rod. 😁

[@kibrok]

Brilliant!!! Thanks Simon

[@billymorrison4981]

Brilliant brings back memories wood work classes when I was a lad Thank you Simon take care

[@daviddale260]

I'm addicted to your series!!! I've enjoyed watching what I've seen so far. And great job, dad, teaching your son all of this early. My dad did the same and I have passed skills on down to my son as well. More dads need to do that. Thanks for setting the example.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you David! I hope Tom remembers the trips and adventures when he’s older and does stuff with his kids (or I’ll have to do it instead! 😂)

[@jito7377]

I wanna do one of these this summer and am doing my research. To my pleasant surprise Simon showed up. I had discovered your channel just prior. You style is very soothing and educational. The mix between nature footage and your talking style is just right for me. This DIY was no exception. Every step was very well explained. You kept the tools to a minimum (no chisel, yes!). I believe, it will be doable without the drill bit. The cordage can stay in place with the right carving, but that will take more time to finish.

[@Infydel78]

Excellent Video!

[@TeddyBear1280]

i was looking for diy saw video. You cant imagine how happy was I, when I saw this one in list :)

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks, glad you found it! Good luck with the project. 😁

[@carpenterpilot487]

Its really essay to make Simon! THANKS for sharing Simon ur Ideal that u came up with and to help others to make!! I Enjoy

[@ronkierstead]

I was just watching a video you did a few years ago showing a quick scene of your shop made buck saw being assembled while you processed wood for your Christmas dinner with the loveable Maggie, star of the show. I’ll be sharing this episode with my dad who is sure to counter with tales of lumbering in The snow with his father in the interior of New Brunswick Canada. Thanks for sharing. I loved it.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Ron. Hard to beat a bucksaw for wood prep. Stay well, Simon

[@deanstirling2089]

Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing this Simon 😊

[@Stringman1950]

Very excellent presentation. Clear and enjoyable. Thanks. Cheers.

[@brianwallis4544]

WoW.. Brill Video Simon. Works fine. Thanks for sharing

[@keithorbell9500]

Simon, that's brilliant. Very simple, and good tips, such as making the cuts across the grain for the mortise first. I'll definitely give that a go.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Keith. Good luck with yours - a nice little project. Atb, Simon.

[@KatYakfishing]

Nice job Simon keep it up 🎉.

[@jeffreyarnold2929]

Great video and informative. I'll have to give it a go.

[@dralexanderseager]

That's incredible! So impressed, definitely one for 'the list'!

Thanks Alexander! A nice little project for around the camp fire (or in the shed!) cheers, Simon

[@maryannhicks7829]

Awesome bucksaw

[@charlesmarlett6856]

Absolutely wonderful. I have a buck saw that I purchased ages ago. I love working with wood and my hands. Thank you Simon. I very much enjoy your videos. Cheers! Chuck

[@markcummings6856]

Brilliant. I know this just another little project for you. But thanks. You’re a great craftsman and demonstrate so well.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Mark! 👍

[@lindsaycranch8130]

Just wow! This will be my 3rd make from your vids. 😁

[@ElderHiker]

Thanks a million. I was looking for a buck saw video and you came through. Your method is easy enough and it uses some important basic woodsman skills. You're the best.

[@earljames453]

Nice video, answered a couple of questions i had. Very informative. Will save this one for latter.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Earl! Glad it was useful, Atb, Simon

[@caddytrekguy]

Well done Simon....👍🏻🔥

[@OATHsWorld]

Well done buddy!

[@nancyjames6134]

Hey Simon, that’s very impressive to be able to do that again, great job. Really enjoy your videos look forward to them all the time. Keep them coming, you and your family have a blessed weekend.

[@intothefoxhole7985]

Great job!

[@efficaciousgentleman3148]

Love it - I want to make one of these and a lot of videos seemed to over think it, whereas this is just useful and do-able. Thank you!

[@robclitheroe4551]

Exactly that!

[@circusman6]

Awesome I’m going to build one today!

[@WondersInTheWasteland]

Just finished making a dry wood saw with a 3' Swedish bushman triumph blade we picked up from an antique store for $3 - and with reference to this video it was an enjoyable project! Thanks as always Simon, God Bless!!! Adam and Katey

[@martinoutdoors6941]

I've always wanted to have a go at making one of those.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

+Martin Outdoors69 - it’s a nice little project, you can make a better job of it with more tools and the comforts of a workshop/shed/kitchen table, but nice to do with limited ‘camp’ tools! Cheers, Simon.

[@chrispierce2942]

That's bad ass, great craftsmanship

[@michaelfriedmann4972]

Great! Thanks!! Will definitely try it!

[@patrickgordon9893]

thought about the same idea, making a Bowsaw from scratch just taking the blade. got to say squaring the timber off and cutting the mortices with the knife top notch, very smart, not sure if you need the drill bit, But way better than what I could craft first time, but could do it now with your help thank you

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Patrick! 👍😁

[@110adventures7]

That is brilliant, can't wait to have a go and make one myself.

[@mathewhorney3303]

Nice work ! Thanks

[@stefansprater8259]

Thank you so much, Simon, I love it! As soon as the storm outside calms down, I'll go out and search for an ash-tree to make one of those buck-saws. It is incredible how easy it looks and I think it will take me a little longer as an hour, but I can live with that. Thank you again very much for this instruction and for your complete blog! And give Maggie a hug as well! Greetings from Swizerland, yours Stefan.

[@Bowwylad]

took me two attempts over two days, hours and hours of work :)

Awesome! You make it look so easy that I'm going to try it my self. I loved your video.

[@jeffmcilroy7081]

Awesome! I love using simple tools. We can accomplish so much with the basics and it’s so gratifying to make things yourself.. I’m going to try to make this on the weekend

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers Jeff! It’s a nice little project. I totally agree, making practical things with just a few simple tools as our ancestors would have done is very rewarding. Good luck with build! Atb, Simon

[@jeremynorman5329]

Excellent skills Simon. Won't be an Ash tree left in the garden now.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Hahaha - how many are you planning on making? 😂

[@jeremynorman5329]

@@simonablokeinthewoods Just the one , but my axe work is poor.....ha ha. Actually and luckily, we have several that have to be heavily trimmed, so plenty of timber.

[@darryljudd4252]

Great video Simon thanks and keep it up mate. Where did you get you small hand auger from please?

Nice Simon. I'll be in the woods soon, I've already got my blade and a few tools packed, and I'm planning on giving this a try. Thanks for taking the time to show us your method. Wish you the best.
