Making the Frame Saw | Paul Sellers

Paul shows you how to make a bowsaw that can be used for many aspects of joinery such as cutting tenons and dovetails. He makes it using construction grade timber and an inexpensive blade.
We have removed the cut list as dimensions depends on the blade and wood used. Sorry for any confusion.
Paul discusses some of the saw and blade options in the following blog post:

I saw Benniti use this saw and turn in to complete a cutout of dovetails, in 1 motion. It was quite amazing. Thanks for showing how to make the saw. I imagine you could make a series of these. Like I have done with my German saws with different blades. Easy and no changing of blades.

[@murraylowe8677]

I made one of these but I used a steel cutting blade which was five and a half feet long to cut through a fender on a trailer which had more than one wall to cut through. But I had to use a ready rod or all thread to give enough tension to the blade. It also allowed me enough depth of cut to make the full cut in one effort. They are a pretty good saw.

Hello Paul, I'm a new subscriber. I'm just in the starting process of making a folding buck saw for my camping and hiking trips and in looking for tips came across your channel. Would please explain why you make a radius with your mortise and tenon joint for the cross member instead of joining it on the flat? Is there an advantage? I'm making mine out of cherry by the way, since I had it around. Other than it being heavy do have any opinion on that? Thank you

[@liamg1995]

Thanks for the great video, Paul! I will be making one of these soon. I've also been looking for a good rasp, and the one you were using to round over ends seemed quite good, may I ask where you got it? Thanks! Liam

[@jazzman1626]

I tried to find a source of blades for the frame saw. Even looking under “bow saw” as they’re sometimes called all I see is those metal framed saws for cutting trees with. Those blades have large, rip-it-to-shreds type blades, not suitable for dovetails. I “saw” a really nice frame saw on eBay but if I ever needed a 14” long replacement blade, I haven’t a clue where to get one.

[@MrShobar]

Broken band saw blades used in the inexpensive motorized bandsaws imported from China and Taiwan (to the U.S.) work great for these saws. Many thanks, Paul.

[@archkde]

I figured I might share a little bit of global perspective of this magnificent tool. In traditional Korean woodworking (which is surprisingly quite different from Japanese woodworking), the bow saw is made from a frame using a combination of both bamboo and hardwood, and is arguably one of the most important tools for a Korean cabinetmaker. This is because Korean cabinetmaking frequently necessitates an incredibly large amount of extremely accurate hand resawing to accomplish bookmatching of incredibly intricate inlaying and parquetry patterns. If anyone's interested, I can provide more information/links.

[@gustavgans6013]

[@TheVimeo]

[@gcbound]

I made this saw just recently using the video. It was a fun project. (BTW, now I have *two* vegetable cans being used in my woodwork :) I put on a new Highland blade for ripping, and that cost less than ten dollars. The wood cost about two dollars at a big box store. But I used existing hand tools (plane, saw, rasp) to construct it. I used Paul's sharpening video to get the tool really sharp, and it cuts quite aggressively, enough btw so that you really need to watch those fingers when starting the cut. I may change the rake a bit to tame it a bit (and give me needed practice). Thanks for the video, Paul.

[@TheBarry1394]

Thank you Paul for taking your time and showing us how to make such cool and affordable tool. I got the parts for mine a long time ago, and finally today got around making it. For being the first time I made anything like a mortise and tennon, and having forgoten the measurements and proportions, the final product was actually really good. Cheers from Argentina!

[@robertnoel7111]

Where can i purchase a saw blade similar to the one you showed in your, how to make a bow saw video.

[@shinerunnah]

I have several frame saws in my shop, and a few I made for camping/hiking. They're awesome, and you can use pieces of band saw blade for many cutting operations.

[@miko007]

i think you missed one point. here in germany the blade on this saws (we call them "carpenters saw"), the blade is usually twistable, so when you set the blade 90 degrees on your wood, the frame of the saw is at an slight angle. this counter-balances the saw, and you make perfect perpendicular cuts every time. this feature is the whole point of the saw. we also have those "tenon saws", but for other applications (they are usually used here to cut baseboards), the carpenters saw comes in handy, whenever you have to make long, straight, perpendicular cuts.

[@genin69]

yes I think I saw a video with Frank Claus using this blade.. its incredible.. just no idea how they are made

[@johnbesharian9965]

@VicPapefu May I suggest you try a method such as found on a typical hacksaw? Which would amount to a square mortice oriented in a diamond pattern in the two upright arms with a square rod or bar inserted w/a pin to hold the blade on one end and a cross pin or dowel through the other to keep them in place against the pressure. Size and strength requirements are up to you to determine. After all, the solving of puzzlements is a part of the joy of this inexact art.

[@Exiledk]

I just found five of these saws in a rubbish container today. I asked it I could take them. Took them home with me and cleaned them up. 5 very different saws, all in working condition. Large and small rip cut, large and small cross cut and a small coping saw. Can't believe my luck....

[@jlinkels]

Currently there seem to be two kinds of mainstream outlets where to purchase woodworking equipment. One selling equipment like Veritas. Probably good quality but extremely high in price. Like $250 for a hand saw. And the one like Rockler.com which sell gadget, jigs and "handy tools" by the dozen. Typically for the not-so-gifted woodworker who thinks it will help him finish the product. Now my point, related to this video. The 600mm saw blade can be had for under $10. The spruce is in your scrap box and it takes 1 hour (Paul) or 1 week (me) to build it. And it might be the best saw you ever have and (cite) lasts a century. Now, how many REAL improvements have been made in woodworking tools the past hundred years? That is why I love these lessons by Paul.

[@magicman9486]

well said. we don't need expensive tools to make quality furniture. Don't forget the tools you already have!! You can make amazing dovetails with a bandsaw. If our forebears had power tools they would have used them. I am a Master craftsman with 40 years experience, use what you have. these frame saws are within everyone's reach. Build something great.

[@a0flj0]

Usually you _do_ need turned parts for it - the handles. Typically, there are two holes at the points of the frame where the blade is attached. Two handles with a cylindrical ending that has a slit cut lengthwise into it are pushed through those holes, and the blade is fastened with pins into the two handles, not into the frame itself. This allows for the blade to be rotated around its length. This way, you can start straight, make a cut a few inches down, as much as the frame lets you, then angle the blade and cut away strips from a panel, or board - the tensioned wide blade will take care of the cut remaining straight with not too much guiding effort. Another use is curved cuts. Besides the wide blade used in this video, there are blades as narrow as 6 mm (about 1/4") - or were, in the past, narrowest I could find to buy recently was 8 mm (that's 1/3"). By constantly tilting the narrow blade by rotating the handles in their holes, you can cut mostly any curve through any board not wider than twice the distance from the blade to the horizontal beam parallel to it. There's a video somewhere here on YT of a guy named Frank Klausz who cuts dovetails in softwood using such a saw - with no chiseling at all for one of the pieces. Worth watching, IMO, to see what such a saw can do in the right hands. Maybe one thing worth noting is that whether it cuts on the push or the pull is your decision. The saw is symmetrical, you can use it both ways. Personally, I prefer to cut on the push - the tensioned blade never bends or catches, and the cut is faster. With a wide, properly tensioned blade, it's difficult to _not_ cut straight, IME. Using it requires some practice. Sharpening and setting the teeth requires a lot of practice too. Aigning the handles, when you don't have the blade fixated to the frame directly, also requires practice (or at least a lot of patience) - not getting this alignment right guarantees crooked cuts, so you immediately know if they're aligned or not. But I feel it's more productive than a short tenon saw with small teeth in many cases, and quite precise too, once you get used to using it. The significantly longer stroke also helps with precision, IME.

[@lukedupont8564]

What Paul introduces here is the joinery version of the bowsaw (he mentions this on his blog). This has fallen out of favor a bit, but is still used in France apparently, and is depicted in tons of Historical manuscripts -- they're made just like this, with a fixed blade and no handles. It's the simplest to make hence why Paul probably started with it. As for bowsaws with turning blades (which I prefer too), another common way is to not turn handles, but rather use bolts which are split with a hacksaw and a pin hole drilled. So, you don't have handles, but you can turn the blade. This was used in many parts of Europe -- again, I think in France especially -- and is common in other parts of the world such as China, where they're still made this way. This can be easier for beginners who don't have a lathe or tapered reamer to make the handles.

[@agentsmith7745]

I see a lot of comments about a "cut list". Why? It's really a "build to suit yourself" item. He mentioned the verticals being 16" long, and the material being 1" thick. So go buy some 5/4 by 3 wood, whatever is available in your area, maybe 5/4 by 2 for the horizontal piece, and have at it. Off to 84 Lumber soon to see if they have some 5/4 red oak. Anyplace with spruce is an hour from me. An 8ft stick of 5/4 by 3 yields enough for 3 saws vertical pieces. an 8ft 5/4 by 2 will give 3 horizontals and a cutoff piece that you can make 3 tensioner sticks from. The horizontal piece length is roughly the blade length, maybe a tad shorter.

I've seen several of Paul's videos and I've always wondered: "why does he use imperial measurements?" Being from the US I appreciate and understand it, but why would someone from Europe use it?

[@davelowe1977]

The UK adopted (officially) the metric system in the 1970s when we joined the EEC. Prior to that (since 1824) Imperial units were official. 'Imperial' is so named because of the British Empire. Anyone educated before and during the 1970s would have been taught to use imperial units.
