Your manners section really hit home with me... My wife sounds very similar to Mrs. W. I’m a disabled Veteran and due to some of my health issues, she has had to take over many responsibilities that once were mine but I’m no longer able to do... My wife comes from an Amish background and is no stranger to hard work... As you stated about Mrs. W, my wife never complains about any of it... Also, whenever we are going out, even just to go shopping, she always takes the time to fix herself all up...! Nice outfit, hair, nails, and makeup all done...! Me: I’ll throw on a clean pair of jeans or slacks, depending on what we’re going to do, and a clean shirt... Though sometimes I don’t go that far... Once when I asked her why does she go to all of that bother her response was, “When we go out and others see me, it’s a reflection on you as to how I look”... I stopped and thought about what she said and not only did it make since but I also felt guilty because, if she felt that her appearance reflected on me then my appearance must reflect on her and sometimes the reflection wasn’t that great... I realized that my wife deserved better from me and from that day on, I’ve always made certain that I look presentable before we go out, though sometimes I still skimp on the shaving part but she has informed me that she doesn’t mind if my facial hair is a little scruffy... Got to love her...! Thanks for sharing this with us. With so many fatherless families out there today, there are so many young men that need mentors who will take a personal interest in them and teach them not only what it means to be a man but how to become one... Have a great day and be blessed.

Just a general comment: When you cut the "dove tails", the reason for the japanese one having a better finish on the back is because it cuts backwards to the traditional western saw; back to front. And that is exactly why the japanese saw feels better to use, human anatomy on work there; our arms are better tuned for pulling than pushing, and the western saw requires to do most force while pushing (old, bad design). That's ergonomics... where engineering and anatomy beautifully merge. PS.: It also applies to driving. Pro drivers don't "push" the wheel to turn the car. You should always pull from it toward yourself, as that is the more controlled movement. So, turning right, it's the right hand that should do the work, and the left hand just comes along, barely touching the wheel.

@2testtest27 жыл бұрын
Cutting straight lines is mostly about proper technique, and not so much about practice (well it takes a little practice to get the technique right). I would recommend you check out RenaissanceWW (Shannon Rogers) here on youtube. He has some excellent videos on sawing technique. The short version though, is simply get all the joints in your arm to swing int the plane that you want your saw to cut, and move the rest of your body out of the way, so that it can swing freely. If you can do this your cut should come out reasonably straight, though getting it on the line AND straight, that does require frequent practice.

Don't discount body mechanics while cutting. Using 2 hands on a saw tends to misalign the body and could easily be contributing to a drifting cut. Aligning your wrist, elbow, and shoulder will help (maybe not cure) a drifting cut as well as reduce binding.

At about 15:00 when you're comparing the tear-out of the saws... you ignore that the tear-out is on opposite sides because one cuts on the pull, and the other cuts on the push. The pull saw is amazingly clean on the back because it's pulling into the wood on that side. The push saw is cleaner on the front because it's pushing into the wood on that side. Those sides will always be in an acceptable condition. If you compare the back side for the push to the front side for the pull, you really see the dramatic difference in the saws. The push saw causes a LOT more tear-out than the pull saw does. It's also a lot harder to alleviate that with the push saw because when you push, it naturally attempts to take a big bite into the wood. The pull style can be grazed along the cutting edge for a much gentler cut. The first time I used a pull style, I made a cut so clean it looked like it had been sanded. (It was a Marples, the same as your "Ultimate" chisels)

I really think you are comparing apple to oranges, The Japanese Ryoba is $28, and it a cross cut and a ripping saw. You then compared that to a carpenters framing saw, a used one at that, not really a fair comparison. To be fair, you should have compared the Ryoba to two Western style saws. Stanley FatMax 17-202 14-Inch Back Saw $13 Stanley 20-045 15-Inch Fat Max Hand Saw $12 that is a total of $25, less than the one Ryoba saw. Just my opinion mind you. BTW, you should run your medium fine diamond stone on the flat of the Stanley saw, I bet you have at least one tooth that is sticking out causing it to bind and to pull to the right. Also why has the rag in a can not been used for the Stanley saw? Cheers!

4 years too late, but people don't buy resharpenable saws for a few reasons, 1) They can't be bothered to sharpen the saw so they replace it for $20-$30 2) They can resharpen them so they buy one saw and never buy another saw again. Who do you think a company that makes saws is going to want to sell their saws to? A person that will never buy one again or a person that'll be back in a few weeks/months to get another. In essence making a good long lasting product that never needs to be replaced will put you out of business. So planned obsolescence, make tools to wear out or break and people will have to continously replace them rather than tune them up and keep them going for decades.

@GlenRickerd7 жыл бұрын
Paul Sellers makes the point that a reasonably flat plate and wet-or-dry sandpaper can work to begin with. Not onlyh that, but in another video he proved that you can stop at 220 grit and have a serviceable edge. When I was a boy, my tool-and-die maker grandfather taught me to sharpen my pocket knife that way. Easy and fast. I picked up a 12" x 12" x 3/8" black granite counter tile at Lowe's for $5. Wet-or-dry is not expensive to start with, and becoming practiced at sharpening with that method is a great way to begin. There ARE cheap diamond hones on Amazon, but the flatness and surface quality may or may not be up to the task.

Question is, who thought that it is a good idea to cut on the push? Pulling is much more stable!
@bryansfistfulofwood46204 жыл бұрын
If you have to saw for a very long time, which you did back before power tools, it's easier to push than to pull. You have more power to push a saw than to pull it.

@@bryansfistfulofwood4620 - There is no evidence this is true as far as I know... in fact my intuition would tell me the opposite but I am not claiming that as I don't know for sure. What I would say is it is a fact that if you have no skill with either the pull cut ones will always win... that said I know that skill can make either work nearly as good so I suppose it it all personal preference at that point.

Old habits die hard. You seemed to be trying to start your Japanese saw with a push stroke. Muscle memory is a strong influence on technique, sometimes making the change to Japanese saws a little difficult. The pull action keeps the extremely thin blade in tension and thus straight, while the saw, being extremely sharp cuts well with its own weight as it is drawn through the wood and our muscle memory wants us to saw in the manner we are accustomed to with our Western saws, which runs counter to the appropriate method for Japanese saws. Cross cutting in particular leaves an excellent standard of finish. My own experience with these saws has been wholly positive. Gyokucho also include a back saw in their range and a very good flush-cut saw. Many thanks for all the super vids , I learn something new and useful every time, and often find myself asking " why haven't I thought of doing it that way." Thank goodness for You Tube and your and many others informative and inspirational presentations. Thru them I never stop learning and refreshing my knowledge and skills after many years absence from the trade. All the best, from UK.

How did we go from the only saw you'll ever need to dressing for dinner?! Strange, I walked away (to try out my Japanese saw rip cut side) and came back to how to dress for dinner..... OK! Anyways I ripped my wood with the Japanese saw just fine while you were explaining to all those guys out there (good points! Wish my ex would have listened to your channel!). Silly me, I had this saw all this time as an old guy in the store told me it was good for outside work and that's all I've ever done with it, and had a decent rip saw all this time. Anyways thanks for the tips!

Not really a fair test as there both completely different saws with different tpi (teeth per inch), the stanley being used for more heavy duty work such as construction and the other for wood working.
@2testtest27 жыл бұрын
I would argue that it is a perfectly fair test. It is not a test of which is the better saw at it's intended use case. It is a test of which is the better saw to have in your toolbox if you are going to have only one saw for woodworking and carpentry, and the Japanese saw is simply the better general purpose saw, as shown by this test.
@andyt7047 жыл бұрын
Henry Tittywinker the Japanese saw is a good saw, But the stanley is more heavy duty and would of been a fairer test had it had finer teeth.
@Fyrebaugh7 жыл бұрын
He actually addresses that multiple times in the video, stating that this is not the intended use, for each, but as building a generic tool box with the basics that is in everyone's price range, he was trying to find a single saw that could be pressed into doing different types of sawing.

That Ryoba style saw has been used in Japanese woodworking for years for the same heavy duty kind of work. Cutting on the pull stroke just allows for better quality work.

If you're referring to the saw in 9:08,, it seems to have the same logo as the Ryoba saw in the link. Edit: Looking online I found out Ryoba is a classification, not a brand name. Ryoba literally means "double blade", and refers to such saws as presented in the video.

I'll be honest, if I were in a store and saw a "Japanese Saw" next to a traditional saw, I wouldn't even consider the Japanese style. That is until watching your videos. I'm 100% sold, and think including the dovetail saw would be a good idea as well.

@cdgonepotatoes42196 жыл бұрын
Donald Giese mostly thanks to human anatomy, the body is much stronger and precise when pulling while pushing goes all over the place, guess it's because while we had plenty of rock and metal to play with in the medieval age, the Japanese had to rely on treated wood for both their castles and armors (well, their castles were still using rock for their foundations and the richer samurai was able to afford a full metal armor, but really resource wise it was much cheaper to treat wood to make it more impervious to cuts and almost entirely fireproof)

the Japanese is obsessed with precision, quality and fine details... it think their oldest wooden building (a 5story temple) is over 1300yrs old and has withstand many earthquakes among other things over the centuries, so when it comes to wood work i would like to think that the Japanese know a thing or 2....

I just bought the $18 Irwin from Lowes and I realized that I hated and never used handsaws until now because all my old ones were dull as poo and I'm in a hurry. It probably wont stay sharp for long, but I spent less than $20. Lat night I cut a huge tenon in a 4X6 in like 10 minutes, and I would have just given up before, used my skill saw and finished the last 1" with an old hand saw.

I have used japanese saws in the past and agree, if the application fits the range of these saws, they are wonderful to use. Cutting on the pull stroke has great advantages.
