Bushcraft Collapsible Bucksaw. How to make one in camp using basic bushcraft tools.

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you . Simon . 🐺 Loupis Canis .

[@davidstorm4911]

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

[@richardallis663]

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.

[@matthewtanner9823]

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.

[@richardpearson5036]

Been a subscriber of yours for quite a while Simon, I've been meaning to start right at your beginnings for a long while and so here we go. Loving the buck saw by the way .

[@daveboyer2447]

that is the simplest instructions ive seen for a saw and you wouldnt even need to take all the pieces to save on weight nice!!!

[@MegaAaron42]

Professional wood workers act like its so easy and make it look so easy but the reality of doing this is much different!!

[@georgepennington8534]

Thanks for another great video! I'm in Alabama, in the USA, and have been watching for some time now. Thanks again!

[@rodbennettakakampzite5448]

Very nice! You Carpenters make it look really easy.. An hour for you, most of the day for me...lol. 😄

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Hahaha! Thanks Rod. 😁

[@stevencamp6824]

Man of many talents

[@darrinrebagliati5365]

I usually carry a bent spiral nail and a couple finishing nails in my repair kit as I am holding the top of my homemade bag open w a 20"(21"?) Utility blade! Great build, thanks!

[@ge8448]

Awesome as usual. Thank you

[@larrybadman9965]

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.

[@WarrenKimpel]

another nice useful video THANKS

[@annebeginn2034]

Ive been wanting a buck saw for a wee while, my hubby set too and made me one out of an old chair that had seen its best. Fabulous works really well, I just need to make it a bag now. So simple and efficient ☺️

[@earlelzy7243]

I did enjoy this video to give me an idea for my next diy project.

[@robthompson1399]

Great job there. I really like how you displayed three different cuts too 👍. I think that any video that leaves me wanting to go out and make something must be a winner !

[@patrickwalsh4398]

Very late, I know, But great informative vid and plan on making this with my son. Thank you Simon!

[@marknthetrails7627]

you made that look really, really easy. 👍✌🥃

[@ericg1971]

Glad i saw your video.......videos as i saw a few that lead to this one ...........gonna make a few as presents and one for myself , love the whole design etc and thanks for sharing your expertise along with the name of the blade maker ........already searched them out and will be ordering

[@dralexanderseager]

That's incredible! So impressed, definitely one for 'the list'!

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Alexander! A nice little project for around the camp fire (or in the shed!) cheers, Simon

[@JEBOOUTDOORS]

Great skills and presentation, Simon! thanks a lot

[@Darltornjacket]

[@CFWaittoleave]

It’s a beautiful thing . Rewarding to say the least.

[@TeddyBear1280]

i was looking for diy saw video. You cant imagine how happy was I, when I saw this one in list :)

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks, glad you found it! Good luck with the project. 😁

Браво, Алексе!

I have 3. Two boys and a girl all between 2 and 13. I work away from home a lot but hopefully for not much longer. I live on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada. 🇨🇦 Perfect for bushcraft. CHEERS

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

dave b - very, very envious of where you live!! If I could emigrate to anywhere in the world, I think it would be B.C. !! I have a friend who lives on Vancouver island, makes me jealous all the time! Atb, and good luck with the change in work situation!

[@keithanoldguyoutdoors4778]

My next project...great video thanks...👍

[@Stringman1950]

Very excellent presentation. Clear and enjoyable. Thanks. Cheers.

[@nancyjames6134]

Hey Simon, that’s very impressive to be able to do that again, great job. Really enjoy your videos look forward to them all the time. Keep them coming, you and your family have a blessed weekend.

[@daviddale260]

I'm addicted to your series!!! I've enjoyed watching what I've seen so far. And great job, dad, teaching your son all of this early. My dad did the same and I have passed skills on down to my son as well. More dads need to do that. Thanks for setting the example.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you David! I hope Tom remembers the trips and adventures when he’s older and does stuff with his kids (or I’ll have to do it instead! 😂)

[@michaelfriedmann4972]

Great! Thanks!! Will definitely try it!

[@vegasvato55]

USEFUL BUSH CRAFT SKILLS.... YOU GO DAWG... I LOVE IT

[@OATHsWorld]

Well done buddy!

[@caddytrekguy]

Well done Simon....👍🏻🔥

[@bernarddevera9842]

A double thumbs up definitely..Keep your videos running..

[@KatYakfishing]

Nice job Simon keep it up 🎉.

[@everready19373]

Very cool. I would have notched the upright for the cordage though. I makes set up and take down a lot easier.

[@Infydel78]

Excellent Video!

[@trekkingturtle4157]

You are a talented bloke, carpenter boat builder, tailor, chef, and the list goes on. Brilliant job.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks mate! 👍

[@circusman6]

Awesome I’m going to build one today!

[@I-am-Sam]

Brilliant. Well demonstrated and made. I like it a lot and will make myself one. Thank you very much.

[@pedroquiroz3147]

Awesome! You make it look so easy that I'm going to try it my self. I loved your video.

[@maryannhicks7829]

Awesome bucksaw

[@ebony5766]

I really enjoyed this step by step video. I'm at my cabin for a week and this will be a great project!

[@zacharyquisenberry89]

I have to practice making one of these until I have the skill. thank you Simon.

[@danmal333]

So far you are my favorite on you tube

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thank you!

[@efficaciousgentleman3148]

Love it - I want to make one of these and a lot of videos seemed to over think it, whereas this is just useful and do-able. Thank you!

[@robclitheroe4551]

Exactly that!

[@gordonmccalister1892]

Hi Simon, Just looking back through some of your older videos. I am glad that you left teaching and are a happy man/ father/ Husband. I am also happy you are still teaching us all! You have a gift for giving us knowledge, and I for one appreciate it. Please stay safe in this time and when you can keep teaching us. Hello again from Indiana. Cheers

[@Bowwylad]

Thanks do much for this Simon, managed to make one finally, took two attempts and a huge struggle. Do not give up people, its not that easy as Simon makes it look :)

[@lindsaycranch8130]

Just wow! This will be my 3rd make from your vids. 😁

[@lazycarpenter0146]

great job, love your work. what about using the auger to bore the mortices and then clean up the holes with the knife.

[@darryljudd4252]

Great video Simon thanks and keep it up mate. Where did you get you small hand auger from please?

[@mathewhorney3303]

Nice work ! Thanks

[@brianwallis4544]

WoW.. Brill Video Simon. Works fine. Thanks for sharing

[@jito7377]

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.

[@mickmoriarty7780]

Bloody amazing!

[@intothefoxhole7985]

Great job!

[@110adventures7]

That is brilliant, can't wait to have a go and make one myself.

[@carpenterpilot487]

Its really essay to make Simon! THANKS for sharing Simon ur Ideal that u came up with and to help others to make!! I Enjoy

[@deanstirling2089]

Amazing!!! Thanks for sharing this Simon 😊

[@billymorrison4981]

Brilliant brings back memories wood work classes when I was a lad Thank you Simon take care

[@jeffreyarnold2929]

Great video and informative. I'll have to give it a go.

[@charlesmarlett6856]

Absolutely wonderful. I have a buck saw that I purchased ages ago. I love working with wood and my hands. Thank you Simon. I very much enjoy your videos. Cheers! Chuck

[@tedwrink]

Great video Simon,now I know what I’ll be up to at the weekend all the best Colin

[@ronkierstead]

I was just watching a video you did a few years ago showing a quick scene of your shop made buck saw being assembled while you processed wood for your Christmas dinner with the loveable Maggie, star of the show. I’ll be sharing this episode with my dad who is sure to counter with tales of lumbering in The snow with his father in the interior of New Brunswick Canada. Thanks for sharing. I loved it.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Ron. Hard to beat a bucksaw for wood prep. Stay well, Simon

[@chrispierce2942]

That's bad ass, great craftsmanship

[@earljames453]

Nice video, answered a couple of questions i had. Very informative. Will save this one for latter.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Earl! Glad it was useful, Atb, Simon

[@Ginny2708]

Very nice and doable even for someone like me who has no woodworking or bushcraft skills to speak of.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

It’s a nice little project to do in the evening around the fire - hope it comes out well! 👍

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Awesome buddy awesome 😎

[@Pushyhog]

that was a good one simon.

[@keithorbell9500]

Simon, that's brilliant. Very simple, and good tips, such as making the cuts across the grain for the mortise first. I'll definitely give that a go.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Keith. Good luck with yours - a nice little project. Atb, Simon.

[@papajeff5486]

Precisely what I was looking for. Thanks. Texas

[@ElderHiker]

Thanks a million. I was looking for a buck saw video and you came through. Your method is easy enough and it uses some important basic woodsman skills. You're the best.

[@johnramsell1109]

Very interesting video Simon as always

[@limpanmackan]

Great video and nice looking saw. I think I do need to try to make my own. Thanks for Sharing. Atb / Marcus

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

limpanmackan -Glad you enjoyed it. It's a nice little project to do and much simpler to do than I probably made it look!! Lol. Cheers, Simon.

[@davidwatson3746]

Great video

[@kris4362]

inspirational, thank you Simon

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

+kris4362 - Glad you enjoyed it my friend! Cheers, Simon.

[@nomad211d]

Nice Simon. I'll be in the woods soon, I've already got my blade and a few tools packed, and I'm planning on giving this a try. Thanks for taking the time to show us your method. Wish you the best.

[@jasoncalaz1476]

Thanks Simon brilliant little video. Always wanted a buck saw and was going to buy one till I saw the price for them. This project will be brilliant to do and I get to practice my knife skills. Cheers for the videos and I'll see you in the next one buddy.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks mate! Good little project to make around the fire in the evening! Good luck with it! Atb, Simon

[@martinoutdoors6941]

I've always wanted to have a go at making one of those.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

+Martin Outdoors69 - it’s a nice little project, you can make a better job of it with more tools and the comforts of a workshop/shed/kitchen table, but nice to do with limited ‘camp’ tools! Cheers, Simon.

[@markcummings6856]

Brilliant. I know this just another little project for you. But thanks. You’re a great craftsman and demonstrate so well.

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Thanks Mark! 👍

[@WondersInTheWasteland]

Just finished making a dry wood saw with a 3' Swedish bushman triumph blade we picked up from an antique store for $3 - and with reference to this video it was an enjoyable project! Thanks as always Simon, God Bless!!! Adam and Katey

[@stefansprater8259]

Thank you so much, Simon, I love it! As soon as the storm outside calms down, I'll go out and search for an ash-tree to make one of those buck-saws. It is incredible how easy it looks and I think it will take me a little longer as an hour, but I can live with that. Thank you again very much for this instruction and for your complete blog! And give Maggie a hug as well! Greetings from Swizerland, yours Stefan.

[@Bowwylad]

took me two attempts over two days, hours and hours of work :)

[@hansfranson6570]

Very good job, Simon!

[@badgerontour6328]

Well made and we'll shown

[@keitharoo1962]

Awesome!!!! I am so going to make myself one of these. Thanks!

[@jeffmcilroy7081]

Awesome! I love using simple tools. We can accomplish so much with the basics and it’s so gratifying to make things yourself.. I’m going to try to make this on the weekend

[@simonablokeinthewoods]

Cheers Jeff! It’s a nice little project. I totally agree, making practical things with just a few simple tools as our ancestors would have done is very rewarding. Good luck with build! Atb, Simon

[@ron78]

Nice. I’ll have to try that. 👍🏻👍🏻 great vid.

[@Akiko-31]

Quite happy to see this video! I've been wanting to make one and this is the ticket for a seemingly easy to do ...thanks for taking the time to share!
