Homemade Frame Saw (Bow Saw) - Scrapwood Challenge Ep28

[@PaskMakes]

Another tool making video, I'll try and make something non tool related for my next video but no promises. Paul Sellers article and video was helpful so thanks to him for sharing his knowledge. Here's a link paulsellers.com/2015/10/making-a-frame-saw/

[@howardwhitehead5927]

Pask Makes ...I like the tools vids, keep ‘em coming ... give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach him how to fish, he fishes a lot ...or something like that...

[@bdcopper]

a nice project once again. More importantly you give credit to other KZbinrs that inspire you or learn from. When I saw this project I recalled watching Paul Sellers version and was glad to see you gave him credit and the link. When I watched another KZbin maker, he copied one of Pauls' projects and never gave him credit or mention. I haven't watched one of his videos since . Well done!!

[@irrupship8592]

Make a video carve a mask for your kids

[@irrupship8592]

It was just a thought. But I love all these vids :)

[@DIYTAO]

Nice looking saw, I'd personally preferred twisted cord tensioner, since it's what those saws used to have. At least on this part of world.

[@Stan_55UK]

Great build. I have worked with masonary drills for over 50 years, and never knew that they could be sharpened to drill hard steel! We live to learn.

[@GenePavlovsky]

I like the mostly hand tool approach in this video. And it's a great combination with the rain sounds

[@xJustForKiicks]

I quite liked the ambient rain noises. Don't be put off from recording if it's a rainy day! Great work as always Pask

[@franciscoalvarez5576]

Muy buenos días desde Canarias (isla de Tenerife)

[@dillonfelts4020]

I've always enjoyed the sound of rain pitter-pattering on a tin roof. Those are actually some of my favorite videos, as the ambient sounds seem to enhance the already zen-like quality of your videos. You truly are the Bob Ross of makers. Keep it up, mate!

[@edwinbaboomian]

Watching you work is therapy for me. You are a TRUE MASTER. Thank you so much for all you do.

[@vksubra1953]

That made it look so simple. And the best part is it works. I have watched Paul Sellers and his videos, I confess they are far beyond my capabilities and the rudimentary tools I have. I particularly like your videos because they simplify the tool and the tool making process and bring it within the capabilities of an absolute novice. Thank you for sharing.

[@AGlimpseInside]

Quite honestly I’ve watched for about one minute and I like the rain. I’m going to really enjoy this one

[@chaserwilliams1]

A Glimpse Inside I’m with you. The sound of the rain was very nice.

[@paulwestlake4278]

Never worry about the rain, the sound of rain on a tin roof always takes me back to childhood holidays in a caravan. Love it.

[@leifhietala8074]

I made one of these! I only had scrap wood and lousy power tools, along with plenty of hand tools and a peculiar castoff fine tooth bow saw blade. Worked up beautifully. Gave it away as a gift.

[@thierrybezias7222]

Ah !!! Les outils de mon Grand-Père !!! Beaucoup de souvenirs grâce à cette vidéo !!! Merci ! Cordialement ! Ah !!! The tools of my grandfather !!! Many memories thanks to this video !!! Thank you ! Cordially !

[@Helli__]

I love this, because it's so simple to make one. Anybody can make one at home without any special tools. I have made two homemade bowsaws, which use a loop of hemp string for tension. With a little piece of wood in the middleof the loop you can twist the strings to increase or decrease the tension

[@stephenkent8903]

This is the perfect video to see this week. I just broke a band saw blade and now I know what to make with the broken blade. Excellent video!

[@jacobopstad5483]

I recently redid a "frame saw" I made out of a hacksaw blade on a handle made of metal drawer runners screwed together in the basic shape of a frame saw. It works well enough for my occasional projects but I still would like to make a proper wooden handle that's actually nice to look at. Great job, they look so nice!

[@KingTesticus]

I made one of these a couple years ago for camping and although I could've gone with the store-bought metal frame, the look and most importantly the feel of a wood frame can't be beat. Nice workmanship!

[@garethbaus5471]

Plus using a metal frame saw while camping in winter sucks.

[@billy19461]

Those are some BEAUTIFUL tools! Anyone would be proud to have them in their shop.

[@manickn6819]

Can't say I have ever seen anyone sharpen a masonry bit to drill steel. Interesting how well it worked.

[@BeachsideHank]

Chuck up a headed common nail in the drill press or portable, bear it against the area you wish to drill on the blade, and spin away! It'll friction anneal it in short order, use a common twist drill bit to easily make your hole. ☺

[@GenePavlovsky]

Was going to suggest that before I saw your comment. The technique is called spot annealing. Use the highest speed on the drill press and light pressure.

[@owenmayes2128]

Another inspirational vid mate: when I'm having a down day, your vids lift me up, give me a smile and inject me with positivity. Thank you.

[@brianknowles7130]

I would never in a million years ever have thought of using a sharpened masonry bit to drill steel ..!! I'll have to try this on some s/steel old tea pots I use to make nest boxes... never to old to learn eh. Thks

[@Rouverius]

So, this is really a scrapwood scrapwood challenge. Always kicking it up a notch. P.S. No worries about the sound of rain. Actually, I'm rather fond of it.

[@mcdishcloth]

love this channel, all the video's. ideas for tools to make to introduce the young ones again. my nephew thinks I come up with these ideas, truth told I get them all here. it's great. thanks for sharing and the time taken. forever and always appreciated.

[@nelsonpedrocoelho9872]

A construção de ferramentas foi uma necessidade no passado, parabéns pelo resgate dessa cultura,você me faz lembrar meu pai (in memórian)

[@NotJustSawdust]

That was a very nice project! Never too much info and videos about making tools! All the best from Portugal!

[@BruceAUlrich]

Love how it turned out...and the rain sounded great! That silky oak is beautiful!

[@Uotilagarage]

I am more of a metal guy, but i really enjoy these wood tool videos of yours!

[@captainscarlet6758]

I wish id seen that trick with the die on the drill press a few days ago. I made a right mess of my last project. It took 2 attempts to get it right. Ill defiantly be doing it this way in future. I was just about to go and make one of these saws today and thought i would watch this first. Im very glad i did. Great job.

[@tonyennis1787]

Pask, one trick I have never tried is to chuck a nail into the drill machine and annealing the steel by "drilling". That is, using friction to anneal only where the hole is going to be. Keeps the rest of the steel hard.

[@ga5743]

Your one of the best Neil, and Paul would be real proud.

[@Cadwaladr]

Nice one. I love these toolmaking videos especially. I made my frame saw about 17 years ago, out of some scraps of sapele. I mostly only use it with a hacksaw blade, since it's better than any metal hacksaw frame I've ever used.

[@vortex4440]

I like the idea of a novice with wood could instead of buying expensive tools make their own to get them started. Great videos and keep them coming. I like the rain noise ☔️

[@MakeBrooklyn]

Great saw, I never really thought of using a threaded rod for tension .... great idea!!

[@joseluisrodriguez5302]

that "idea" has centuries, literally ! but is 1000% effective.

[@davemartin1534]

Threaded rod is not a new idea I'm n my seventies and I remember see this type of saw tentionor with threaded rod back 60 some year's ago. And I might add the saw was an antique when I saw it.

[@mr.mickles]

Great idea. I made one with a 3tpi blade a few years ago and it would keep jamming. I bought a metal cutting blade a year ago at the wrong size and now I can make a few of these to use it.

[@whatistug]

Well done Pask, another honestly well built project.

[@victorhopper6774]

i missed this when it came out. 30 years ago i used this concept i turned the blade 90 degrees and connected a drive motor . works like a giant scroll saw with no limit to length of stock. also lets you feed the blade through a hole in the stock. i built mine with a 6 inch stroke and a 1.5 hp buffer motor 175 rpm driving the frame from the bottom. would send a picture but i am computer and video challenged.

[@DaftDude]

Love this series so much. Great project Pask!

[@steliosstavrinides3502]

Neil I mast admit that it never occurred to me to use a bandsaw blade for making one. I always love the simplicity and the functionality you approach every tool you make. Thumbs Up ALL THE WAY buddy... Thanks from Cyprus !!!

[@christofix]

That rain give something extra to this video. Not only the sound but also as an intro (a litle bit of b roll) i like that and i try to do that to my videos to. your video becomes more of a story you tell. Well don man, great video again!

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much! :)

[@christofix]

@@PaskMakes You are welcome!

[@alexandrenobrega1]

The rain makes it Scrapwood ASMR Challenge :D

[@robswain3357]

The rain sound is relaxing. I like it. And your videos are great. I like how you make and improve so many of your own hand tools.

[@mhpjii]

Most Creative Woodworker on KZbin!

[@RonaldJS]

This is how all KZbin woodworking videos should be done.

[@dereksmalls6238]

I like the rain sounds, makes it a bit more Pask Zen.

[@alexlemberg5557]

Великолепная работа! Уважение мастеру!

[@robertparker2420]

I found the sound of the rain very soothing...

[@jlf1430]

As always, your videos and your work are top notch. Great looking saws

[@djAnakin]

I live in the desert in California, and i'd LOVE to do some woodworking with rain sounds/smells in the background. Problem is here, it doesn't rain much, and when it does, it's usually at night. And even if it is during the day, there's not a lot of tree's with leaves to make the noise. Plus, we all just stand around staring/listening to the rain so nothing would get done. :D

[@PaskMakes]

It doesn't rain much here either but when it does it buckets down! I love the rain too but sometimes it's difficult to film with. The biggest problem is when the video is sped up, then it just sounds like noise. :)

[@26tp]

Another great tool and video Neil. Well done. Yet another item added to my to-do list.

[@davemartin1534]

Hello I've watched ur video for some time now and have always been a lurker in the background but I like most of ur videos. Keep up the great work. U r a down to earth type guy n I appreciate that.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Dave! :)

[@petermenningen338]

Great technique using drill press to manage threading long rod Liked the rain shows that one can do good work in a rain forest like Hana Maui

[@DeweyKentM]

I really like the brass, it’s totally worth it. Maybe a cool little addition would be a recess in one of the handles for a wrench. Maybe a brass wrench made from brass melted in your forge? Or a steel wrench so that you could place a magnet in the slot to hold it in place. You could always give a steel wrench a brass coating by heating it up and brushing it with a brass wire wheel.

[@andrewtinker7537]

Nice project. This old design still has a lot of usefulness left. I made one like this a few years back, to take hacksaw blades, which had the advantage of already having the holes drilled. I like your method with the masonry bit though, and hacksaw blades are a bit short where you can cut the bandsaw blade to any length you want. I'll have to try that next time I make one. Another slight modification: I found it a bit more durable to make the blade pins from cut off masonry nails rather than screws. I ground shallow grooves into them where the blade would sit, so once they were in place and the blade tensioned, they couldn't come out. If I ever make another, I think I'll also turn some pegs for the blade to swivel on, for curved cuts and awkward angles.

[@daviddaniels6263]

Currently sat in the barbers in the UK and I hear your voice from the guys phone next to me. Looks like you're popular where I am. Crazy! Keep up the awesome videos!

[@PaskMakes]

That's crazy David! :)

[@TakamiWoodshop]

Cool tip on using a sharpened masonry bit to drill hardened steel ! 👍🔟

[@2tall54]

Very beautiful little and functional saw...Great job!

[@hhhobby]

I like this type of saw. It's light and confortable.

[@jonnybooks9337]

HOLY CRAP!!! after all the videos of yours i have watched, for some reason i never saw the link to your photography...as a VERY amateur photography "hobbiest", all i can say is your photography is STUNNING! absolute proos to you my friend! ...& oh yeah, diggin' these saws...awesome workmanship.

[@PaskMakes]

Thanks very much Jonny - glad you enjoyed the photography! :)

[@CameraEd1]

As always, beautiful work. I enjoyed watching this, and the rain in the background was nice too. No complaints.

[@arminv8169]

Spectacular video. Very easy to understand. Greetings from Chile.

[@bigoldgrizzly]

love the sound of the rain - so long as I'm in the dry

[@martinjuarez2508]

Hermoso trabajo. Gracias por el aporte!! Abrazo desde Argentina.

[@kennethkustren9381]

Artisan Toolmaker. EPIC. MEEKNESS. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE !!

[@JDeWittDIY]

The tool making videos are my favourites!

[@davidtraugot1405]

Got to love it! Leftover scraps from leftover scraps!

[@sapelesteve]

Not only functional but beautiful to look at! Great work mate.............. :)

[@Daddywaah]

A scrap wood challenge using scrap from a previous scrap wood challenge. That's a _META_ scrap wood challenge folks!

[@LostWhits]

Nathan is getting a Beautiful looking saw.

Very worth tutorial; the prototype was aesthetically-pleasing as well as functional. Esp. appreciate the tip on sourcing the blade. Likely there are also people who discard broken bandsaw blades from which a frame saw (box saw) blade could be redakted....?!?!

[@rickbooher8224]

If you turn the blade 90° you can use it to rip long length of a piece of wood. Start with the one you made then continue do the rip with the 90° bow saw. Or make a L screw on the blade so you could turn the blade if you like. It make the bow saw very versatile that way. Just a suggestion as your has a very limited depth of cut but for dovetails, cut off and such. However a good bow saw can do so much more. Also add some thumb screws to the brass rod to tighten the bow saw blade and the same with the blade holder drill all the way through add a wing nut Make the blade easier to remove to change from a rip blade to a cross cut with more teeth. But liked the video idea to use up scrap wood just laying around and who doesn't like more tools especially those you have made yourself.

[@SNMCustomWork]

Very nice hand made tool, congratutalion.

[@xcutionate]

Thank you so much for making this. Another little project to try my hand at.

[@BensWorkshop]

Nice work, great set of tools you were given too.

[@nicoxstyle]

The rain actually makes the video super relaxing, not that the other ones aren't, but it certainly amps it up quite a bit. How about using wing nuts for the tension rod? That would make things easier eh? Greetings Neil, your channel is awesome

[@PaskMakes]

Glad you enjoyed it Nicolas! The wing nuts are a good idea, I didn't have any though! :)

[@Fredatbedrock]

Great job they look awesome

[@sumosprojects]

Very smooth mate, sound of rain is soothing 🍻👍👍👍🇦🇺

[@ScottTurnerformeindustrious]

Need to make one for camping. Another great job and you are a endless supply of inspiration!

[@DIYPD]

Really cool video and hand saw is awesome!

[@ericgordon342]

Using scraps from the previous scrapwood challenge makes this a super-scrapwood challenge

[@madclouds]

Well done Neil!

[@RANDALLOLOGY]

That's a good use of my scrap wood. Gonna give it a go. Make one for metal, one for smooth cuts in wood, and one for quick rough cut. Then I will have a set. Lol

[@hakmahmed4462]

You are amazing Mister.. all the best to you

[@paulorchard7960]

Ha ha, love your occasional super fast technique, saves heaps of time, wish I had that skill!

[@GOLDSMITHEXILE]

I use up broke band saw blades by cutting and drilling them to fit in a hacksaw frame, gives the option of altering the blade position, left, centre or right. You can anneal the very ends to make drilling easier. Rope on a frame saw can be dodgy. I was given a Italian style turning saw years ago. It was OK you could sharpen the teeth. But one day I sprung it up for work, and the rope snapped. INSTANTLY the handle whipped back and smacked me right on the side of my head just above my ear. In less than 15 seconds there was an egg sized bump, but no lasting damage, not last time I checked any way

[@PaskMakes]

That sounds nasty, it's surprising how much pressure would be on that blade! :)

[@OriginalRaveParty]

Elegant and functional design. Nice work.

[@benfox9382]

awesome tip on the masonry bit for drilling hardened steels!

[@dennisw7350]

Tools is the way to go.

[@timreid9556]

The sound of the rain in the background was nice to me.

[@LouCars]

Nice one, if you want a quick way for tightening you could always make a knob on one side

[@Al-Fiallos]

Very, very nice project and results. Thank you.

[@garycottreau8442]

Nice job on the saw. Look really good.

[@StanCrafted]

Like most subscribers I enjoy the tool making videos. Post as many as you like!

[@ianvicedomini2648]

Thoroughly enjoyed the video and such beautiful saws.

[@johnperez3212]

Rain is nothing more but life, and life is good

[@mikecurtin9831]

Beautiful work. One of the tool supply places I get catalogues from lists a band saw with a .012" (.3 mm) kerf. That would be wonderful on a hand saw like this. Lots of possibilities. Thanks much. I clicked "like" to crush a troll.

[@thermmaloverload]

Ah QLD - Beautiful one day, underwater the next :) Great job Neil, I am amazed that you've come up with 28 fantastic scrapwood projects. Keep them coming

[@michaelkitching5102]

Mate that was awesome, nice work!

[@Floerp]

I don't mind the rain, I actually quite apreciate it. Furthermore I'd love a video with no talking or sped up footage, with just the sounds of the tools and the rain in the background.

[@Diaqgan]

I feel like this would be a good project to comeback to and develop on.

[@simonrourke9817]

Great video. I will definitely be giving it a go

[@Llamadosalvaje]

Thanks a lot for all this wonderful creations! You are very smart sir
