One minute in and I already learned a deep and very useful lesson. Dividing the cutting process into those "polygonal" sections. Great video. Very clear.

Second video I watched and the second lesson I learned. You are a craftsman. Thank you for taking the time to show us your technique.

Your videos are wonderful! Thank you for sharing these techniques with us. I love learning from you and hope you upload many more videos!

by far the best channel for a specialised skill set. very impressive. thank you

So that's how you prevent the saw from drifting from the line!! So simple!! Thanks for showing my path to Japanse Saw Enlightenment!!

eureka! Now I get it. Just bought one of these saws and that video really helps "straighten" me out...

Thank you for the lesson.

I could watch this all day, thanks for sharing your skills:)

Hi Hisa, thank you very much for sharing your techniques and methods; I have learned from you and am able to emulate many things you do, though some take some practice. I think the order in which you do things important too,.

very enjoyable & instructive - thank you for posting.

Great explanation, thank you for that. The only thing I'm missing is how well tenon and mortise fit together afterwards.

Nice explaination! This helped me know more on using my ryoba, thanks!

Beautiful technique!!

Excellent description and the use of graphic to show the angle of cut superb,

great vid. looking forward to watching the rest (new subscriber from Scotland)

brilliant. Added to my mastercraft playlist and subscribed ! Great tips. Eigo ga Jyozu!

this is an excellent video! thank you!

great demo! Thank you

Thank you. This helps a lot!

Why use a ryoba if you have crosscut and rip katabas? Also, you use a western bench and work-holding (holdfasts, cast iron vice, dogs). A lot of westerners are interested in this hybrid approach. Many good video ideas. I'm also interested in the tradition ways too (like the small saw horses, sitting on your work, sitting down, sawing downward, long boards to plane on). Your ability to speak English makes you unique on youtube. We have many questions!

Thanks for the tips master

Awesome channel, thank you.

I have used these saws since the late 1970s and only make use of an occasional band saw or circular saw with wood or plastic. Once used to usage it is easy to end cut a 1/16" off a 6' round, if needed. These will drop dust and straight down rather than blown all over by an electric or gas device. I have also used them for clearing fallen trees up to 8" in dia.

Nicely explained how to saw, didnt know that

Will you do a series about the tools you use? I really like the Japanese gardening and woodworking tools that I have seen.

I am always forgetting which side of the saw is for cross cutting and which for ripping so was hoping to catch that here. I could just TRY each one but its nice to review techniques with an expert. Wow! You make hand cutting tenons look simple. What about the mortise? Anyway I need the super basic info about rip vs crosscut blade. thank you for a mesmerizing youtube

Very well done. I like it. Thanks.

Great technique

Thank you

very helpfull thanks!

Hisao さん, in the video you mention a previous video, which I cannot find. Which video do you refer to?

i smell a future youtube star! Chisel on hombre!

No matter how I try, I'm not very good at making a straight right angle cut, with either a Japanese saw or a Western tenon saw The tip at 2mins 50secs of clamping a guide block is excellent! I'll do that in future

Are the kanna you use for tenons flat-soled, or are they tuned like hira-kanna?

Could you use this to hand-cut a rabbet joint?

Thank you very much for your instructions. Is this the same technique for cutting very hard wood?

R these saws just for shop work? Or do they handle just as good as western style saws for outdoor framing?

hey great video! how do you stop from sawing crooked lines when you're ripping?

great video can you show how to retract the blade when using a 櫛形しゃくりかんな？I'm not having any luck with striking the back of the dai with a mallet

先生あなたは素晴らしいスキルを持っています。 あなたの英語は素晴らしいです。 ありがとうございました

Keep up the good work! I'd be interested to know why you used two different planes on the tenon.

How are these for one-handed sawing? How about for sawing without a workbench, without anything beyond your knee holding the material in place?

がんばってね〜

I've seen lots of videos on Japanese saws as of late. I noticed sometimes you can purchase saws specifically listed as " for hardwood". Is this important if you are cutting into hardwoods, or is it ok to buy the "regular" listed Japanese saws? And can you use to cut into softwoods to with these "hardwood" saws. I don't see a lot of KZfaq videos mention the specifically designed hardwood Japanese saws or if you have to go through the trouble of buying it specifically to cut into hardwoods. Your thoughts? thx

Is there a japanese verion of a router plane?

I noticed you flipped the saw blade after you started the cut. I didn't know I was supposed to do that. (I'm very bad and hand sawing. )

What for kind of wood do you use? Very nice video!

Most of your tools look hand made (like the marking tool you used) could you show how it is made or maybe do a short tutorial of the tools your using. Thank you in advance.

naic

Bos.... di jajal motong ke kayu yang keras dong kaya kayu di kalimantan.... Bukannya kayu kaya begitu... kalau kayu seperti itu gergaji model biasa juga enak aja buat motongnya

That's a kataba, not a dozuki, that you used to cut the tenon shoulders. Isn't it?

Nice video, that bench was wobbling all over the place mind..🤢

Why is he naming the saw Dozuki? Isn't it a Ryoba?

Bought new Shark was today

I'm not sure I trust woodworking advice from someone whos workbench is that wobbly.

Oh wow at 2:32 that's so awkward LOL! I think that you didn't need to change for cutting side

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.

The rip saw is being used the wrong way here. The wood should lean the other way and then the rip teeth will cut the same way western saw teeth will cut. Western saws and Japanese saws all have the teeth angled the same way to the fibres. This video is wrong .

If you want to know how to do it yourself, just look for Stodoys.

Subscribed, great technique with the Ryoba and Dozuki.
