I normally pin my blade but I like the idea of the spilt rings. Build once correctly, it will last a very long time. Enjoyed your videos. Liked mate

Been watching you and Andy's use of this saw and have been wanting one. I got the general idea just from watching the assembly and still shots but to see you make one just makes me want to make my own. Yeah, I got the shop for it. I got tools that fix tools! My wife and I enjoy the camps, the cooks and the bushcraft. It has inspired me to do the truck camp thing. I will be building a pop up canopy soon. Like you I do a lot of my own makeshift builds and sew my own bags and do my own repairs. We live in the Pacific Northwest in the Mt.s and plenty of overnight spots along the rivers and lakes surrounding us. Thanks for sharing.

I've just been for a walk with my dog up into the hills. It had been snowing and was cold but I felt compelled to sit there and do something. I wish I'd watched this video beforehand and had the right components to make a buck saw. I would still be there now. Thanks for sharing and giving me the insentive, I'll be doing it soon.

YOU DID A GREAT JOB, AS IT CONCERNS THE BUCKSAW IN THE WOODS AND THE BUCKSAW IN THE LAB WITH ASHWOOD. THE ONLY EXTRA THING THAT I WOULD DO, ACCORDING TO THE BUCKSAW IN THE FIELD IS, TO CUT OFF ALL THE EDGES FROM THE TWO SIDE PARTS AND MAKE THEM MORE CIRCULAR, IN CASE, I USE IT FOR LONG TIME, JUST NOT TO HARM THE PALMS. OTHERWISE, EVERYTHING IS EXCELLENT. THE BEST BLADE SAWS IN THE MARKET, IN MY OPINION, ARE FROM BAHCO AND AUGUSTA. VERY GOOD VIDEO AND YOU EXPLAIN EVERYTHING IN DETAILS.

I wanna do one of these this summer and am doing my research. To my pleasant surprise Simon showed up. I had discovered your channel just prior. You style is very soothing and educational. The mix between nature footage and your talking style is just right for me. This DIY was no exception. Every step was very well explained. You kept the tools to a minimum (no chisel, yes!). I believe, it will be doable without the drill bit. The cordage can stay in place with the right carving, but that will take more time to finish.
