[@urituchmanpigeon]

I'm really happy we got to make something together! the saw came out amazing! Looking forward to making more stuff in the future.

[@isaacpahima1792]

מטורף כן אבל הוא אמר גרמני במקום ישראלי גרמני😅

[@matheusalonso7185]

I totally support this idea. You guys(along with @Alec Steele) made my top 3 best craftsman KZbin channel and it's awesome to see this collaboration!

[@marialiyubman]

Can a saw be sexy? Yes.

[@DullPoints]

Uri and Rex are both so modest about themselves, but take so much pride in their work. I hope you work together again soon.

[@johnkirwan762]

V nice job. Gonna try make one 👌

[@Bethany415]

That's beautiful! I'm looking forward to the "woodworking for humans" model.

[@javanbybee4822]

please rex, please!!!

[@mailleweaver]

Something about this makes me reflect on a lesson that it took me a long time to learn. Most of my life I saved really nice materials and one-time use objects for when I thought I was good enough for them and as a result they became burdens that sat around unused for years instead of being the treasures that they should have been. I was afraid of "wasting" them like you might have felt like you did with the wood that you cut short or the finely crafted handle pin that broke. But through years of carrying these burdens, I've finally begun to learn to use them instead of wasting them by not using them. Even in the failures, they turn into treasure of a kind that doesn't become burdensome: experience. They're much more valuable in use than they ever are on the shelf, under the bed, in a box, or somewhere else getting in the way of cleanliness and order. Many other things (like money, fine tools, clothes, consumables in games, and life in general) are the same. Take care of them, but also use them. Don't let them sit safely in their glass cases getting lonely for not being allowed to serve their entire purpose for existence; doing so wastes their value. Rather than hanging on a wall somewhere, never again knowing the touch of a craftsman, I hope this saw cuts lots of wood even though that means it will gain a few bruises and scratches along the way. Only items that are used for their intended purpose are truly appreciated. Leave wall-hanging to the paintings and tapestries that are meant for such things.

[@pioeugeniolot]

Both of you are my favorite artisans. I'm very excited about that!

[@thomasjohnston7348]

I'm normally one of those silent viewers of woodworking videos who seldom chimes in but I just wish to say thank you for this video. First, I wasn't familiar with Uri's work and now I know to search for his channel. Secondly, I was very impressed with your thoughts about the positives of collaborating even when two people are not exactly on the same level. That is such a great comment. Thank you for this video!

[@clanravencub]

What I love about both your work and Uri's videos is how you are unafraid of using hand tools. So few people bother doing things by hand and you guys really appreciate working with the materials. I must admit before watching both your channels I really avoided using hand tools where I could, but not at all anymore

[@3006spikespiegel]

that moment when your favorite craftsmen collaborate

[@Tfaonc]

You say Uri is super famous with a huge viewership. But I've watched and subbed to many woodworkers for many years including yourself Rex, and never heard of Uri, never seen him in recommended videos. You're helping him too

[@gordonkennygordon]

I finally watched this video and then watched Uri Tuchman's. All very cool and educational and fun, but by FAR the best part is hearing Uri say your name :)

[@marialiyubman]

Admit it, you cried real tears and said “I broke it” when the little piece broke off... 😂 I screamed “NOOOOO” and my roommate walked in 😂

[@RexKrueger]

I did!

[@BloodSprite-tan]

i thought he was gonna be clever and do something like split the wood block, so it can come off easy and you just have to clamp it back in place for the other one.

[@sourcererseven3858]

@@BloodSprite-tan Yeah splitting the block was my first instinct, too. But there's always multiple ways to achieve something, and sometimes you hit a bad one ;)

[@bulletproofpepper2]

Great collaboration! My dad always said “sometimes knowledge of what not to do is better the trying to find a new way to constructing the unknown.“ I’m not sure where he found that little nugget of wisdom but i live it daily. Thanks for sharing.

[@compuwise]

You speak directly to the soul of the beginning wood worker and enlighten us! 😀

[@scobiesview5137]

You are the best woodworking politician I've ever heard. You sound like my mum when I couldn't beat my big brother. Cheers Mark

[@gradywright]

I appreciate that you speak about mistakes. It’s an important part of learning and a good reminder of possible missteps for a beginner like myself.

[@SzonSer]

Been a fan of you both for some time and this collab was a perfect marriage of your individual strengths. Both have great inspirational videos and I really enjoy the humour you both bring. Thank you both

[@lourias]

Y'all are funny... both of you have wonderful insites....and I have not watched the video, yet. I am sure I will not be disappointed.

[@00dmb5]

You and Uri did great!

[@jeffery19677]

Its cool how you admit your mistakes. And how you acknowledge how we all bring different skills and experience to the table. The sum of the parts is worth more than the individual parts. That counts for skills, too.

[@cliffordduhh45]

This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve been trying to find a hand tool alternative to a band saw for curved cuts.

[@bordenfleetwood5773]

For those of us not in a position to take part in the auction, I think we would still like to know how much it goes for. That's a beautiful tool, and a worthy cause.

[@nurgle11]

Its at US $560 at the moment and 5 days left!

[@silverfeathered1]

As a subscriber to both of these channels... I have to say that this Super Hero Team-Up was not expected. For a channel that has a focus on woodworking for humans... Collaborating with Uri really sets that bar high on what it means to be "human".

[@gordonadams5891]

I appreciate your willingness to show us your mistakes. It's so encouraging to novices like myself.

[@Cadwaladr]

Great job! One of the things I love about Uri is how down to earth and humble he is, despite being a masterful artist. I made a bow saw many years ago, and I don't use it very often, but when I need it, it's great to have. Also, the way I made it, I can also stick a hacksaw blade in it, and it's better than any other hacksaw I've ever used.

[@DironMc]

Both of you are amongst my favourite craftsman on KZbin. Loved your works n I have learned a lot from you guys. Thanks n God Bless u always 😙

[@tomfeller6707]

This was a really nice episode. Rex you are a good person. Thanks

[@quitethemike]

That's some beautiful work! I hope you get to do some more collaboration with Uri in the future!

[@andrewwomack4286]

In the UK it is known as a bowsaw. Small gauge bandsaw blades are excellent in this type of saw. Keep up the good work.

[@frankierzucekjr]

Some of us in the US call it a Bow saw as well. I guess because it resembles a bow. Lol

[@keirfarnum6811]

Andrew Womack Or a “turning saw.”

[@seantierney3]

as someone who likes a cooping saw I am excited to see the wood works for humans version. I am glad you are doing some projects for charity.

[@TheDrumminjay]

Man! How did I miss this episode....I freaking love Uri! He's so talented and hilarious. Genius!

[@ericmcconnell3238]

This has to be one of the most relatable videos I have seen in a long time. Thanks for the honesty and not editing out the screw ups!

[@MichaelRodgers670]

I have enjoyed watching both of these channels over the last year. Great job!

[@RexKrueger]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@joeseabert8391]

Your videos have given me my ambition to make all my tools. I have seen saws like this but for logs, haven’t seen it used for detail work.

[@bevanstuart9013]

Another beautifully done video from a great teacher. Rex, I hope you don't get tired of my trying to compliment you. I look forward to the next version and hope it will be an doable project. Stay safe.

[@kevincaruthers5412]

I really enjoy your channel and thank you so much for including your mistakes. It really helps me not lose my motivation when I make a mistake. THANKS!

[@clydebalcom3679]

Insane, genius, Renaissance Man, artist. All applicable to Herr Tuchman.

[@richardsinger01]

I made saw many years ago from an off cut of teak, oak handles turned on a home made lathe and two 2 1/2” no 10 wood screws to hold the handles and blade in place. The handles are a bit rough, but serviceable. It’s definitely the woodworking for humans variety. I didn’t find the joinery was that critical - the tensioning cord holds it together very firmly. It’s a nice project to make, but to be honest I rarely use the saw.

[@texasairhead101]

I can’t imagine this was the video you thought you were going to make. But I loved this video. This felt to me like a huge challenge to you and that’s what I love about woodworking is constantly improving.

[@allenwc]

Wow, that is just just so. I made a turning saw last summer after I got totally fed up with coping saws. I’ve used coping saws for dogs ages doing finish trim, and I’ve never been happy with them, even though I thought they were the best tool for the job. Enter a turning saw. I used one one time, just once, SOLD, I had to have one. From the photo and using Gramercy hardware, I built one. I no longer use my coping saw, haven’t touched it even once since I built the turning saw. I even use it for all my decorative curves. I don’t yet own a band saw, though that is no 1 on the wish list. I believe you will now be forced to make yourself one too. Once you play with it a bit you will have to have one. Once again, I have to thank you for this project. I love how you had no hesitation modifying Uri’s part. Fantastic result, and far fewer mistakes than I made.

[@RexKrueger]

I'll never touch a coping saw again.

[@ryanglen7334]

The man is a genius. Love all of his stuff. Rex as a maker you give excellent access. You are a natural sensei. Good to see channels that are fantastic linking

[@lectricdolphin7265]

You are my favorite creator 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏🏻 thank you so much for producing videos

[@mypony891]

That marking knife add-on was an excellent touch he put in!

[@AtticusGrim]

Your ending monologue was well said. I'd be terrified to try to add on to Uri's work--but he also gives off that vibe of having been born with a set of craftsman's tools.

[@johnlofts3316]

Hi Rex, when you cut the stretcher too short you could have solved the issue by simply adding two slim wooden cheeks projecting out either side of the stretcher ends, obviating the need for tenons. This keeps the saw's structure intact without the need of mortices in the arms, which adds to structural strength. It also has the advantage of allowing you to move the stretcher's position on the arms when greater depth of cut is needed. I once bought such a saw from a flea market in France and it worked just fine. Bests.

[@whisperingeaglelanders2339]

Wow! That is so cool!😁 Wow it's nice that guy sent you those beautiful tools. 😊

[@therealzilch]

Another wonderful craftman's story. And yes, Uri is pretty amazing too.

[@johnkelley9877]

You both did a fantastic job on making the saw. It is beautifully made. Thanks for sharing this.

[@JDeWittDIY]

From the thumbnail alone-- that is a beautiful saw!

[@homemadetools]

Nice work on the collaboration. We posted both of your videos on our homemade tools forum this week :)

[@paular6759]

Two of my favorite youtubers, together! Life is grand.

[@donhill1825]

Rex, I genuinely admire and appreciate you showing the mistakes made along the way. It makes these projects seems less intimidating.

[@BlazeOGlory]

Finally a collab between my 2 favorite wood workers on KZbin!

[@theidlehandsworkshop3884]

I love watching Uri, his work is off the chain so combined with you this made for an awesome video and I think once I get caught up with life this is something I want to make as well. Many thanks for the video Rex, keep them coming !!!

[@GCaF]

This just goes to remind us how great of a human Rex is :) Getting through all of that and NOT keeping the saw for a better cause. Great job Rex! I might just end up refurbishing my turning saws :)

[@RexKrueger]

You're very kind!

[@oldeebutgoodee]

You make me feel so much better about myself. Nobody’s perfect.

[@thomashverring9484]

Great video! I love your mistakes ;^) Uri always experiment, so he makes lots of mistakes too :^D We all do! Good luck with the auction!

[@mikecurtin9831]

The only people who don't make mistakes are the ones who don't do anything. Also, one of my father's favorite sayings was, "I thought I made a mistake once, but I was wrong."

[@marshwood6945]

Excellent build - the combined efforts turned out very nice. Well done! The fund raising efforts seem to be going good also.

[@steelpennyforge5152]

Well done to you both! A worthy charity too. Thank you

[@Incandescentiron]

Beautiful saw. I follow both of your channels. it was fun to see your collaboration.

[@mmmsshenanigans9422]

I really wish i could find someone like you near me. Someone I could learn from in person. Love your videos

[@mrzold]

6 1/2 days left in the auction and it's already up to $450.00 (US). Great job, guys. What a gorgeous piece, great story of making it, and ultimately wonderful charity work.

[@belac48621]

Came here from a very polite german. I am not disappointed. You got a new follower from me today!

[@adrianselby2609]

here is what i do in little old england,i buy band saw blades,there really cheap, cut them to length depending on how my saw turns out and drill or punch holes in each end.This gives an endless choice of of tooth size, blade size ect.,

[@lrochfort]

Honestly covering mistakes and being pragmatic is why I subscribed to this channel

[@DarkMoonDroid]

👏👏👏👏👏 Beautiful work! Both of you!!!

[@justinp.9953]

Gramercy bow saw kit uses both pinned blades and you can use band saw blades with the pin I've seen where Hickory is used

[@TomsLife9]

100% agree that having a hands-on feel for the size of something is so important. if someone says "it's super small!" we would say "give me an order of magnitude - 1 inch or 10 inches?" to get a feel

[@hanaanrosenthal]

What a great video. Instructional, honest and hilarious!

[@sween187]

Uri makes some amazing stuff, love his attitude.

[@BobsWoodStuff]

Great video Rex, and holy moly a collab with Uri Tuchman! Very cool.

[@RexKrueger]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@borjesvensson8661]

Big frame saw strechers are often pine as it keeps the saw ligther and only experiences compression force.

[@ximarre5121]

Whoa. What a colab. Didn't see that coming. Great job!

[@luccarron]

Bravo Rex! I like this passion of yours for old treasures. That's really a beautiful saw, congratulations :)

[@adammono1839]

Wow I could feel the pain in those mistakes rex. I admire you for showing us it all! It'll stick in my mind next time I make a mistake myself. Beautiful looking saw

[@JoeBob79569]

Just had a look at the auction, final bid was $650 quid. Bloody nice one..

[@Akarnf2]

It really amazing to see that, I was one of first Uri's subs and I gate to hear about him from you.

[@CalebMayfieldMHF]

Great project! That mystery wood make me think of something in the hickory family.

[@BengtRosini13]

I like that you drew it out by hand, and used chisels for the saw parts.

[@timoe2469]

Congrats Rex - what a lovely project! 👍🏻 Thank you for sharing!

[@joshwalker5605]

Pieces of kinked bandsaw blades are the way to go for saws like this imo. Not that I have any of those laying around of course, I collect them from my, uh, friends.

[@nigelhaslock5504]

That is a very pretty and function tool and thanks for showing the mistakes that we don't need to copy. I thought that the mortise and tenon joints needed to be loose, so tightening the string put tension on the blade rather than stressing a pair of tight joints. Maybe that detail is only relevant to larger bow saws and frame saws

[@jakobholzwarth1544]

Maybe you can use an old bandsaw blade? If you cut it to the correct length and make two holes in it might work. And maybe sharpen it as well.

[@RexKrueger]

Oh, for sure. People do that a lot.

[@SteveC38]

You two are both very talented and skilled Makers and have done an amazing job! I truely hope it does well at auction (I've just checked and it's already beond my ability to plce a bid) it'ssuch a worthy cause and you two are really great people for contributing to it!

[@paulhuston9991]

I have been wanting to make one of these for a while now

[@demastust.2277]

I've been watching so many of your videos, this is like the 2nd time I've watched this one. I have always wondered why you haven't incorporated a cheap farrier's rasp into the wood working kit, or the four in hand rasp.

[@Gormancraft]

Your mystery hardwood strikes me as hickory. I work with it daily.

[@myRefuge3710]

Turning saw! I really enjoy your respect for understanding your material! Great vid.

[@RexKrueger]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gavintolen5012]

If it seems like crazy dense oak it might be beech. i had a beech hand plane i thought was old growth oak until i found the makers stamp and researched the plane

[@jlinkels]

Uri might be a very crafted craftsman, the products shown here are of an extreme beauty. But Rex, your videos are way better.

[@bramschuurmans-vandentempe7843]

Every video is really great. Looking forward to the next one. Today I did my first plane restauration. Turned out great! Greetings from the Netherlands. Love your work!

[@RexKrueger]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@joemechanic2751]

Love your work. I am more of a machine woodworker but I have been inspired to build some of the tools that you have recreated. In some applications using hand tools is quicker than setting up the router table or using multiple power tools for a small job. When you cut the stretcher too short the first thing that came to mind for me was a floating tenon. Perhaps something to consider for future mistakes. 😉

[@nothininterestinn]

Collab of the decade and it's still only 2020 I'm so glad this happened

[@Maker238DeLoach]

I’m so glad you guys did a collaboration!!! Now I have a ton of videos to go through. Great job on the saw it looks amazing 😉

Yay! Thank you!

[@Keithmwalton]

I think it’s a kind of teak. You will see outdoor shutters made of it. I was thinking so by look and when you said waxy feeling I’m pretty sure.

[@Keithmwalton]

Is there such a thing as indoor shutters? Anyway. My guess is teak of some sort.

[@pnwRC.]
