Making a frame saw / buck saw for bushcraft

Hand carving a saw frame with axe and knife. A design ideal for wilderness living. Open the full video description for more information.
It's the saw design I have used on most of my bushcraft trips so far. Both made from oak wood - worked green.
__________________
Materials: Oak wood, tung oil, bank line.

Most asked questions:
1. What wood did you use?
Oak - green straight from the tree... Most wood will work just fine - but hardwood is better than pine and similar soft wood.
2. Can I buy a saw like that?
You need to make one yourself or pay for custom work. I don't sell anything.
3. How long time does the saw blade "rivets" last?
Mine last easily a month or more, even if I use soft wood like pine.
4. What blade do you use?
52cm long blade made for cutting dry wood. Made by BAHCO and bought just in the local hard ware store.

No matter what you do, I just enjoy watching your videos. Thank you.

What kind of a madman would give this video a thumbs down? Your work is simply amazing, Bertram. Thank you.

Great video, really showed the process clearly. I watched my grandfather fifty years ago, make a bow saw from an oak sapling in about 20 minutes. The only thing he used was a pocket knife and the saw blade. He also used the leather lace out of his jacket for the tension string. I always remember it, because he made it from seemingly nothing and used the saw all afternoon to prune large apple tree branches down. He split the uprights about two inches up, slide in the blade and lashed it with twig and string. He used two "Y's" on a third branch for the center spreader bar and used the lace and a stick to tighten the saw. It was amazing and it always makes me think of different ways of doing simple things which we just take for granted today. Cheers, wonderful video.

I think we all know that the real star of the show was that hatchet

[@claraalebrook5335]

😂

[@unclefuddelmer9224]

Was thinking the axe is the “Co-Star” 👍

[@desertfoxxx98]

Axe not hatchet, hatchet's are smaller.

Very interesting! Never saw somebody to work so exactly with an axe.

Отлично! Я ждал этого видео! Попробую сделать пилу из акации, уже заготовку вырезал)))) Благодарю!

Stunning. I’v been indecisive on what saw to upgrade too and had my eye on a buck saw for a while. Perhaps now making my own would be the most rewarding option!

This is stunning. When I watched this vid I got goose bumps. Of course curved branches to cut thicker trees. Genial! And that yakut blade.. Perfect, inspiring. Congrats Man! I go into the woods to find curved brances and staring to carve similar saw. Thanks to share your knowledge.

[@vryce6322]

That was an amazing video. I like your idea of using bent wood instead of the straight limbs that I traditionally see used. That's an idea that I will definitely have to try out with my Scout Troop. Thank you very much for sharing.

I tried making a bucksaw based out of your previous videos and failed. I was missing the 2 notch system you use to keep the frame together. I cant believe how perfect the timing is. Thank you so much for this tutorial.

[@torceridaho]

Rune, thanks so much for sharing these skills. It inspirational to see someone making a bucksaw.

[@Stringman1950]

I’ve watched many videos on making these saws, but I like your video and saws the best. Cheers.

[@davidcheever665]

I watched 5 bushcraft videos this morning with the sound muted because all they did was talk about how many views or likes or what their world opinions were. I watched yours with headphones on to hear the cutting of the wood, the scribing, the carving.... it was like listening to poetry. Thank you!

[@nar_ix]

Beautiful work !
