Peaceful Woodworking - Making a Frame Saw with Traditional Hand Tools

[@chaplainand1]

Perfect. Video. Demonstration. Background soundtrack. Commentary. End products. Thank you.

[@donschweitzer3045]

Bravo,clean and crisp….no script needed….appreciate your time and thoughtful presentation.

[@orbodman]

Finally someone who realizes you don't need annoying music all the way through

[@jlinkels]

And record at normal speed. not double or triple speed.

[@aenimamirko]

Best sound...nature;)

[@janwijbrand]

Beautiful process, beautiful result.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you

[@bluesky6327]

This is a great video. I appreciate that you selected the video cuts that focused on techniques and construction to make it easy to follow. The additional info and links to other projects is really helpful also! I'm fascinated with completely unplugged woodworking. These videos bridge the gap between reading books about it and actually seeing the tools in use. I hope you do a lot more! I've subscribed and will keep watching. If I could make a suggestion - a little bit of verbal explanation before or after the work would be helpful for newbies like me. I'd also like to know things like what kind of wood you recommend, whether the wood is still green, what you use to seal it afterwards. Edited - I see you're adding commentary in some of your other videos. Thanks! But even without those things. I'll still be watching. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.

[@phillipyeager3176]

Wonderful video. Very spiritual much like The Japanese. I listen to Japanese Shamisen, Koto, and Flute in my shop while I work with hand tools. It keeps me centered and prevents me from rushing.Wonderful bow saw. I just finished a small turning saw. Be well and best regards.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks, I like Japanese music as well, as long as it's the calm stuff. Some of the flute playing gets a little intense sometimes but in general it is good calm stuff.

[@mukmarkes4151]

Nice, quiet and complete video. As meditating and relaxing as it is educational. Love it. Thank you!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you

[@MRrwmac]

Thanks! You did some really nice work! And they wonder why men of the mountains had strong arms, hands, and a very healthy appetite. I'd guess all that was true of you doing this type of work. Reminds me of my youth watching and helping an old man in the mountains long ago. He was definitely a hillbilly and moonshiner!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you.

[@abbykirby1710]

MRrwmac did you say moonshiner? 😊

[@katieprice2165]

I personally love woodworking hand tools, and this video was like a warm cup of cocoa on a chilly evening. Thank you for not shying away from the 'old way 'of making things!

[@firebladex8586]

It's nice to have a break from the noise of power tools.

[@279steven]

One of the best videos I have ever seen

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks, it was a fun one to make. A lot of my videos require so much messing with the camera it can take some of the fun out of the project, this one was fun to make, film and post. Glad you enjoyed it.

[@playskooler]

Love this video. Nothing better than starting with raw materials and ending up with a beautiful product. Keep these kinds of videos coming

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks, I'm planing on doing more videos like this as well.

[@jackfntwist]

One of my favorite videos of yours. Visually really well done. And the woodwork is really well done. Thanks.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you.

[@738polarbear]

Very well done . A young man with skill to make wonderful tools from a bit of old log., Bravo.

[@danieldowning4583]

This couldn't come at a better time. I am holed up in my workshop in a blizzard trying to stop the voices in my head from telling me to make something. I started following the bodgers from the UK last year and need to stock up on my wood processing tools and this piece is perfect. Thank You so much. Doubt it will quiet the pesky vermin in my head though. They are never satisfied by finishing one project, they always want more. You know how it is I'm sure. Great channel.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Good luck

[@jerrystark6766]

A well-designed, well-made, and very useful saw. Well done!

[@ferminmdq9276]

Real craftmanship here! Kudos from Argentina. Just made one myself with some power tools, but yours makes mine look like crap!

[@TheArtofCraftsmanship]

Such a nice peaceful video. I appreciate videos with commentary but it's nice to mix it up and just watch the work being done sometimes. It turned out beautifully.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you, with certain videos I feel that the action of what I'm doing is self explanatory.

[@creativewoodworker4300]

Love this because it is a simple saw build and no glitz and glamour. Reminds me of how things were done once upon a time. Nice to see that people still believe in the old ways.

[@bradymcphail9690]

Excellent! And I wear Crocs at all times except when blacksmithing and welding.

[@kurthannon9610]

What a fantastic hand made saw so much work to make but worth it

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks Kurt

[@sethwarner2540]

Very nice! Saw you had trouble getting the small batton to catch on the cross rail. I wind mine up with the batton cocked at an angle so it misses the rail; then when its tight, I just tip it down till it hits the rail. Much easier for me.

[@dirtdart81]

Absolutely gorgeous

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks

[@trueleyes]

Very nice work especially from stump lumber all hand cut shaped and bored. I especially like your design. Very nice work and video.

[@stephanygates6491]

It's fun and edifying to watch you work!

[@wordsofhis1799]

Impressive skills: woodworking AND editing!

[@congamike1]

I learned some things. Thanks!

[@bowmaster24]

Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Awesome craftsmanship!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you Jason.

[@dennisleksander3387]

Thanks for showing your basic construction! I'm a beginning woodworker , and I've been put off by others that require much more refinement.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks

[@michaelm748]

Thank you. I very much appreciate your work and skill. Thanks for uploading this.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks

[@Chr.U.Cas1622]

Dear "peaceful woodworking" - fellow. Wonderful. I enjoyed watching this really peaceful woodworking and good example of fine craftsmanship very much. Thanks a lot for making, taping and sharing. All the best luck and health to you. Best regards.

[@toothytube]

Excellent workmanship, and your choice of a blade (one that's more applicable to woodworking than to processing fire wood) makes perfect sense.

[@gothamantiquities2595]

Sooo cool seeing someone in your age group actually having some talent besides playing video games! Stay safe and keep on making/teaching us at the same time!

[@G1G2dd3]

awesome craftsmanship the only thing i can criticize really are the shoes

[@hasdrubal121]

Hi JC, was really looking forward to this vid and you didn't disappoint yet again. Really liked the way you left music out of the vid. Thanks

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks, I liked the quiet approach to this video as well.

[@rherman9085]

Just awesome. I downloaded the video so I could watch it again after watching it the first time. I have since made my frame saw out of walnut & Oak (oak crossmember). However, this video is so peaceful, I had to watch it again when I saw it on my list today. Thanks!

[@jaimeaugustoviajante222]

Very good my friend! Hug from Brazil

[@BurtonsAttic]

I didn't see a tape once, just a marking gauge. Always like making things free form, nice!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

I do a lot of that when it doesn't matter

[@larryhanus4150]

Excellent video, thank you. I’m impressed by the variety of your video mix and look forward to watching and learning more.

[@lehampton1]

That is some good straight grained oak. Super project with hands tools. Good thing you finished before the snow fell. Perry would be proud! LOL

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Ha, Thank you.

[@Lee-qp6gf]

Very nice build. I enjoyed it.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you.

[@Thienlongize]

Very beautiful frame saw, and great video

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you.

[@billwessels207]

A very nice informative video. Thank you Sir!

[@seedubyu]

Lovely piece of work. Great video, captivating.

[@DGonz0-]

Very much enjoyed this video. thank you

[@LarsMith217]

LOVE it !! Very encouraging, as this makes the project "do-able", even for ( or especially for ? ) those who're just setting out on their life-changing woodworking adventure. Inspirational !!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks

[@mafeharu]

Beautiful and inspiring video my friend - thanks for sharing.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks

[@kentcostello8099]

I'm sorry that's not a framing saw it's a work of art good job and video 👍👍👍🇺🇸

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

I gotta build a bench like that. The way the carving vice clamps is different from any modern vise I have.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

It's called a shaving horse. There is a video in the description.

[@TheOlsonOutfit]

Thanks, I vaguely remember seeing one on the Woodwright's Shop, but could not for the life of me remember the name. I'm watching your shaving horse video now.

[@benw5800]

Very impressive young man!

[@manuelgonzalez-wy2bn]

simply perfect!!!!!keep tutorials 'cos new carpenters need to know how to use hand tools like our ancestors

[@rayconner7495]

A country boy can survive!!! Great video !

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks Hank, glad you enjoyed it.

[@georgeinglis255]

Great work, and great skill. Thanks for showing it to us.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks for watching

[@MarcoACasco]

Amazing work !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Subscribed.

[@kenwhitworth5628]

Beautiful and useful.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you.

[@Thelonelyscavenger]

great work! I did the same thing but mine was rustic style. I've found that a doubled up wire works better than string. I want to make an axe handle using only handtools as well.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

I've been planning on doing an ax handle soonish, I've got a few the handles are a little rough on.

[@robertlangley258]

I enjoyed the video, nice work son. Very nice bow saw, good job

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.

[@sapphodesigns2377]

You have great skill..well done

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you.

[@robertclark3258]

Fine work, sir. Fine work!

[@paulmurphy612]

I enjoyed that very much. What woods did you use to construct this? I apologize if you mentioned it already. I’ve got a nice German blade too, I think it’s a Spansägge (or whatever) brand. I ought to build a frame for it.

[@mrJedwall]

What a wonderful video

[@Blumenstein88]

Very nice Job Dude! I've enjoyed every minute! Stay crafting buddy!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks, I enjoyed this video and project quite a bit. When it warms up I plan to do some more outside.

[@enduser6957]

That was peaceful indeed...thanks for the ride!...I also liked that one of your knives made a cameo...Liked!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks.

[@Jaycee37]

This is really nice work. You make it look so easy

[@thewoodworkinglawyer]

This is brilliant. What kind of bench is that which you used to shape the wood?

[@somatder]

wow, a portable shaving horse - that's an brilliant idea. I gotta build one for the indoor workshop

[@kimchee94112]

Nice to see raw wood to finished form. I like to make one but where can I buy the blade?

[@leperejoe1536]

Nicely crafted; and seems to cut through wood great.

[@jamesrobertson6959]

A pleasure to watch

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you

[@1beachdog]

nice looking saw good video

[@silenthill5794]

Nicely done !

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you.

[@rico1319]

I enjoyed it and it relaxed me!! Thank you! Great looking saw! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱

[@oakenarm]

Thank you for putting out this wonderful ANTI-KZbin video. In my shop tools on wood provide all the music I need.

[@scottgraham4906]

Nice job. Cool project.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you

[@kristywhalen350]

Very well done!

[@hanobester]

Thank you, that is inspiring to watch.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you

[@robertlangley258]

Good job nice saw.

[@ronaldmckinney6489]

Excellent presentation of basic tools and techniques. Where did you obtain the blade?

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Woodcraft.

[@shoptimefishing4315]

I really loved this video. I have respect for you and your style. It is in my nature to love woodworking projects but this was just awesome. You have the enthusiasm and strength of someone with passion. I could only strive to achieve such a skill.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks, I had an especially nice time making it. I had been in the shop a ton and it was a nice break.

[@bascostbudde7614]

Great love and care shows from your hand movements.

[@TimRoyalPastortim]

Great video, made me relax just as intended

[@oldmanwinter1405]

Inspiring, as always. And the step-by-step process was easy to follow. What type of cordage did you use for the tensioner? And are the pins that hold the blade made of whittled wood or metal? Anyway, nice job and thanks for sharing.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you. I used nylon string just wrapped around about 8 or 10 times. It's very strong stuff and easy to get. The pins that hold the blade are just large framing nails that are cut down to size. Thanks for watching.

[@marshallmoneymaker8322]

Incredible work, very nice!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you Mr. Moneymaker

[@gardeningpreacher]

Nice! Enjoyed watching you make this...

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks

[@brianhackett9649]

I really liked the lack of voice over here. I do like your voice overs (I'm a new fan and just binged your trestle table vids), but the simple, elegant nature of the piece lent itself very well to the combination of the pastoral sounds of nature and the sounds of the work. I could just feel the wind on me when I heard it. Great video, thanks!

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks, normally I edit all the video then go back, watch it, and start the voice over.....when I watched it this time, I though...."I'm done". I thought the video was self explanatory and represented the reason I was outside doing this kind of work to start with. I appreciate your comment and time spent watching my videos. If you look in the description of this video, there are other links to similar videos you may like......but a little more talking. Thanks again.

[@VintageTexas59]

You sure have talent, nice build and very relaxing video. Thanks for sharing.

[@armyvet4239]

Brother I really enjoyed this video. that is one great looking saw! Thank you for sharing this video.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you, it was a fun project and a nice break from my usual work.

[@ionatanstrateanu2347]

Hey, I’m looking to get into wood working, and I enjoy using traditional tools as you are in the video. Is it possible I c an have a list of all the tools you own? Or at least what I should buy first to get started. Thank you in advance

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

+Ionatan Strateanu Get yourself some hand tools. Saw, chisels, mallet, measiring tape. A drill and miter saw and you can really get some stuff made. Later a table saw for ripping. Hand tools are good to start. Once you are building your projects will let you know what you need. Take a class or watch a bunch of videos. Look up Paul Sellers. He has a lot of hand tool videos.

[@ionatanstrateanu2347]

The Homestead Craftsman, I don’t know exactly what type of hand tools to get, I’ve already made a work bench with 1/2 plywood top, and a cabinet to go under it, I enjoyed making it but looking for using mainly hand tools and not miter or table saws(even thou I already have access), feels like I’m cheating😂

[@738polarbear]

Amazing skills from a young man that were once commonplace and now all too rare.

[@JimDockrellWatertone]

Nice build! Good video.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you.

[@williamcostello2436]

I would like that bench you were using to hold the pieces of wood to make the saw.

[@amundjones9319]

This was your first video I watched. I'm all, "Cool, he's got the same kind of tools I've got. Nothing too fancy. Let's check out the rest of the channel... Ooh, an oak table build, that should be interesting to watch." Not to down Festool. Just a little jealous of the funds available. I definitely enjoy seeing videos of projects like this one, though.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

+Amelia Piper I started with cheap chisels, a broken miter saw, an old metal circular saw that shocked me and a black and Decker drill. Most would not be jelous of what it took to get to where I am now. In the end your looking a a few thousand dollars worth of tools that most of my income is based off. Just putting things in perspective. Glad you enjoyed the video.

[@IveysFamilyFactotum]

Something about traditional woodworking in Crocs that just made me laugh...hahaha. Great work...i need to get hot making my horse and tools.

[@saint1759]

Nice. Very enjoyable.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thanks

[@insptrjf]

Very nice video. What woods did you use?

[@forestglade4993]

Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing.

[@gregboutelle3902]

Nice job! makes we want to build a frame saw even though I don't need one.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Ha, well I guess I don't NEED one but I wanted one and had some projects that it could be handy for. A lot of what people are doing is just for fun.

[@gregboutelle3902]

The Homestead Craftsman I certainly enjoy your videos. keepem coming.

[@outdoorcountryboyforlife6511]

mighty good job there Mr Craftsman !!

[@williamang9649]

M stuck at wondering if my bow can tighten or not since the tenon and mortise joint is sturdy. I try rounding it like you did.

[@richardharvey4013]

Real. I’ve job, what species of wood did you use ?

[@matt_dm]

No fluff, no clickbait, no sponsors. Just an experienced craftsman building a tool. Amazing. I have probably watched this single video more times than any other video on KZbin.

[@thehomesteadcraftsman8975]

Thank you Matt.

[@luistrevino5959]

​@@thehomesteadcraftsman8975 I have seen your video before, second time now. I do pose a question for you? Have you constructed one, as you did in this video but where the blade is hidden? Hidden within the handle?
