Another great video. I love Japanese saws. I only have a couple Western saws, but I rarely use them. What you said about the sound of the cut is really important. That's why I never listen to music while I'm working because listening to the wood makes a lot of difference. I have both of your dovetail cutting jigs. Now that I'm older and my hands are a little more shaky, they are a fantastic help.

You really explained what you were doing and talked about positioning of the arms and body and it just actually made sense. So many other people making videos about this just say what they are thinking as they do it but don't explain why or any specifics. I feel like this video is really going to help. Thanks

I went home after watching this and cut a bunch of perfect lines with my Japanese saw. I didn't even know the difference between the rip side and the cross-cut side previously! Many thanks for posting this, and I'm a subscriber now.

@andrewwarwick2831 4 жыл бұрын

With a pull saw, it's actually better to start the cut at the far end of the board, instead of the closest point. Part of the benefit of a pull saw, is it straightens the blade as you cut, but that only happens between the handle and where the blade is actually cutting the wood. So if you start the cut on the closest side of the board and extend it away from you, the tip of the blade is more prone to wobbling side to side, and can negatively affect your cut. Also, if you are going to cut all the way through a board, it's better to draw/scribe a square line all the way around the board, and then start the cut (maybe 1/4" deep) and then deepen the cut on all 4 sides until you cut through. The benefit here, is that you have the 1/4" kerf as the blade enters and leaves the cut, which helps to guide the blade as you cut. The video below explains this pretty well. Using this method with almost no hand saw experience, I was able to cut off a 4x4 (that I dimensioned square) almost perfectly, so I'm sure you could do even better. You might need to sign up for a free account on the site, but it's worth it. The guy is from Japan and trained under a Japanese master woodworker, so he really knows his stuff. diyjapanesejoinery.com/video/how-to-improve-your-cross-cutting-technique/

@DavesRabbitHole 3 жыл бұрын

When I started wood working I bought a western panel saw, a tenon saw and a dovetail saw. I also bought a set of Gyokucho Japanese saws. I used them equally and expected/hoped to prefer the Japanese saws. While the quality of the cut is always cleaner and needs less finishing with a Japanese saw, I find I cut more accurately with a western saw. I get by with the little dovetail and crosscut saw at my bench but it doesn’t satisfy me like using a western tenon or dovetail saw. I don’t get on with the ryoba at all, it’s been relegated to sheet material only, anything else seems to give a beautifully clean but seldom square cut. When they wear out, I won’t be replacing them. I think I just prefer the push action, plate thickness and weight of western saws,

@musamor75 2 жыл бұрын

That's a very honest reply. You're not Japanese, and nothing obliges you to adopt these tools. One must always use the tools that one is most comfortable with. England and America made some fabulous hand tools, with excellent quality steel. There are some very good antique tool sites, where you can but some gems at a fairly reasonable price. Happy woodworking.

@hananokuni2580 2 жыл бұрын

To each his own! The Japanese handsaw and Western handsaw are two different solutions to the same problem, each one requiring a different technique. As well, if you are better accustomed to Western saws, then use those. I think that for cutting large pieces of wood quickly Western rip saws are more efficient.
