How To Make a Back Saw The Hardware Part

[@marksexton1340]

I'm really blown away... I'm trying to imagine, how you possibly could learn soo much, about the saw, to actually make your own, and make it so well... I'm very impressed.

[@theidlehandsworkshop3884]

I love how when I have something pop in my head I can usually find a video you've done it so that I can then make it myself at some point in the future.

[@buzzmooney2801]

I appreciate that when you were putting the plate into the back, you made a point of telling us how you feel you SHOULD have done it; (soft hammer on the back, instead of hard hammer on the plate) It shows us the thought oricess, better than if you had gone back and reshot, and edited, so everything would be "perfect". Watching the whole process, with errors, corrections, and all, teaches me far better than a perfect, no-errors sequence.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

That's what this channel is all about. Experimentation and fun. Finding the best way that works for the individual rather than the "best way." I like to show the learning process as I think people learn more watching other people learn. It kind of gets the brain running.

[@chris-C8]

Wow, I just commented yesterday about modifying a gent saw to do something similar, but I'm worried about fitting the handle. Thanks to the KZbin algorithm, I found out you've already made a video about fitting a handle to a saw, haha.

[@MechaStreisand1]

You have no idea how useful these videos are. Thank you.

Upgrading from a Veritas saw? Hmm, maybe I could start by upgrading to a Veritas saw for my woodshop 😁. They came out great, James, fine heirloom tools!

[@joeleonetti8976]

Good going. Little by little I've been making my own tools. My dream is eventually to have a complete set of tools that I made myself including hand planes, chisels, etc. Of course, will build a special chest to house them all.

The personalised medallion is really cool.

Immaculate workmanship! Now I need to make one!

[@glencrandall7051]

I am not going to run right out and make a saw. But now I know I could if I wanted to. Great tutorial. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day and stay safe.🙂🙂

Hallo Ich habe Maschinenschlosser gelernt. Ich bin fasziniert über diese handwerkskunzt. Toll über deine detlierte Anleitung

[@lynxg4641]

Dayam James, those are some beautiful saws, especially love the burl handles, absolutely gorgeous. Have a "cheap" saw that I did a major reshape on the handle, but now you've got me thinking about making a complete new handle for it out of purple heart as I've got quite a bit of it.

[@VivienLEGER]

hello james great work i m seeking a saw to buy and I don't feel confident enough to go down this road just now .. but your video help me see how i could

[@MCsCreations]

Amazing work, James! Really beautiful saws! 😃 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@billmoody9736]

Saw sets and how to use them ---- YES PLEASE --------

[@Apillicus]

Truly lovely saw. Great work

[@Flyfishinchief]

Beautiful work, James!!! Very cool.

[@myerscok]

Great video thanks. What shaping do you do for your index finger, if any? Ken from Southport UK 👍

[@brolovski_brodog]

Did you need to do any work to flatten the plate after assembly? To do all the work by hand (no drill press) is really impressive. Great video.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

That is the fun of a folded back juse a quick tap on the bact fixes the plate.

[@lazyhobo2454]

Excellent I can't wait to make my own saw 👍

[@AllanMacMillan]

Those are some really nice looking saws! You've put a lot of effort into getting the details just right. Thanks for these videos, without guidance from you and all the other creators in the youtube woodworking community this sort of thing would be much tougher to learn. I recently finished making a 3d printable dovetail saw, which I'll soon be posting on Printables and Thingiverse. Cutting and setting the teeth was a challenge. Mainly just seeing the details was tough, mine was 15tpi, and I will be using some more powerful magnifiers next time I need to sharpen it. I did some experiments with your other method of marking out the teeth with a hacksaw, but my tooth pitch was too close to kerf of the hacksaw blades I had on hand, so I ended up using the file to do the marking and the cutting. I don't own a saw set, so I did that by the method Paul Sellers showed in a video where he used a punch.

[@VertexCarver]

That are some good-looking saws! ^^

[@1pcfred]

I like to hang a saw plate before I put a lot of work into shaping the tote. Just in case things go sideways.

[@whittysworkshop982]

Did you have to do much straightening to the plate after the back went on? I always drill the holes in the handle and cut the slot before I shape it, then it's not a huge waste if the holes or the slot goes wrong...... You're brave cutting the smaller through hole first 😆 Is that carbide spade bit good for drilling the plate?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

With the folded back I don't have to do much straightening at all just give it a good tap and it brings it right into place. Yes the carbide bit does wonders for drilling through the plate.

[@whittysworkshop982]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo Thanks James, I will probably buy that bit, spring steel eats up my cobalt bits and I'm fed up of sharpening them after like 2 holes 😂

[@m0tze07]

Thanks James! I really enjoyed that. Why do you want to upgrade from your Veritas saws?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

The Veritas saw works well. But the handle leaves a lot to be desired. Also with a folded back you can easily adjust the plate and there's less chance of kinking it in the future. With the Veritas saw it pinned and glued in place and if you run into something the plate will kink easily. Veritas is fantastic for the price. But it's not a high-end top saw.

[@andrewbrimmer1797]

Super cool

[@TWC6724]

This is awesome. I may have to give it a go.

[@1pcfred]

Making your own tools is satisfying. You don't have to make a whole saw all at once. You can start out by just making a handle for another saw. Then you can retooth a saw. Work up to it step by step. So far the closest I've come is retoothing a saw and making a handle for it too. I also made the sex nuts for it as well.

[@timrothgeb416]

Was that a power drill I saw?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

The demons possessed yellow brace!

[@What_Other_Hobbies]

Turned out great.

[@cheryldawkins7486]

Sharpening novice here. Do the teeth on a crosscut saw also get set or just rip saws?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Yes. Almost all saws get set. There are a few Japanese saws and any flush cut saws do not get set. But all others have set.

[@suzz1776]

What does the teeth setting tool do?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

It bends the teeth to the side. Every other tooth leans to every other side. That is called set.

You could even put the Rob Cosman no set low rake double teeth starting teeth on easily if you're doing it from scratch.

A lot of people like progressive teeth.

[@dpmeyer4867]

nice

[@lelandallen]

What if you don't have access to a saw that cuts a thin enough kerf in the handle for the saw plate? Your thinnest saw needs a handle!

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

You can always use the sawplate you're intending for the saw and cut the curve with it before you set the teeth. You can clamp it on the bench with something at the right thickness up from the bench and then move the handle back and forth across the saw to cut in the groove.

Do you think Cosman approves of this video after the Purple Heart Dovetail saw build you guys did together?

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

Lol why would he not?

[@bobweiram6321]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo It's like having a friend who is a fruit dealer, but instead of buying your fruits from him, you buy them from his competitors. Cosman may not sell saw DIY kits and parts, but he may have preferred you contact him first. He may have provided the parts for free in exchange for a mere mention of his channel and or tool products. He may not bring it up, but he could be feeling betrayed and decide to forgo doing any future collaboration with you, or not mention your channel. You're running a business and it requires the fine art of building personal relationships.

[@WoodByWrightHowTo]

But what if I have 6 friends who all sell fruit? Everything here was purchased from a friend I have built a relationship with. Even here I purchased from two different saw makers.

[@bobweiram6321]

@@WoodByWrightHowTo I guess they are your closer friends, since you smoke pot with them. Cosman is a straight laced Mormon and is probably no fun to smoke pot with.
