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

[@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.

[@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 .

[@danmal333]

So far you are my favorite on you tube

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you!

[@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 !

[@scottsrepairshop]

Pretty bad ass work. Very inspiring.

[@georgepennington8534]

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

[@Darltornjacket]

Nice. Very straight forward and doable

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

It’s good fun too. 👍😁

[@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.

[@MegaAaron42]

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

[@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!!!

[@earlelzy7243]

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

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 ☺️

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 🤣 .

[@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! 😂)

[@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.

[@TeddyBear1280]

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

[@Ginny2708]

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

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.

[@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

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

[@earljames453]

[@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.

[@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.

[@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]

[@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.

Thanks mate! Good little project to make around the fire in the evening! Good luck with it! Atb, Simon

[@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! 👍😁

+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.

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
