Good video. Been following these principles for over 50 years and tried to explain it to friends and relatives. I've found one problem - some people have a stronger eye on opposite side from their stronger hand, eg left eye but right hand, so they struggle not to tip over so unbalanced with cascading effects on how the saw flows. This takes quite a lot of neuro-muscular sight practice for them to get a good stance, balance, arm action

@whittysworkshop982 2 жыл бұрын

The key to starting a saw on the forward stroke, is the bottom horn on the handle. We use the underside of our hand pressing into the horn to lighten the toe of the saw, making it easier to start. Good practice for this (on scrap) is to "hover" the saw over your line as we move it forward and back, only letting the teeth "tickle" the wood and not cut into it properly. Small back saws are easy enough to start, its when ya get to big 5 point rip handsaws where problems starting can happen, and the sharper a saw is the more it will want to "bite" and not start. I would say using a courser pitched saw to practice starting is better; something around 10 points or less (tenon saw or panel/handsaw) If we can start a saw with big teeth, then we can start ANY saw :) The handle shape is a very important aspect of any saw, its where the tool meets you...... if its not shaped right or doesnt fit your hand; then problems arise either because we are gripping too hard to keep our hand in the right position on the grip, or the bottom horn is badly shaped and we cannot lighten the toe easily. This wont be a problem with a high end saw like a Bad Axe, but mass produced saws are made as "one size fits all"....... which is impossible. And some handles resemble a block of wood more than a saw handle. Making a saw handle is a brilliant project; I make new handles for every saw I buy. Its fairly easy and we only need simple tools, make a rough one from pine or somethin first so you can figure out what size the grip section of the handle needs to be to fit your hand. Open your palm, where your fingers meet the palm of your hand; measure across these knuckles...... this will be "roughly" how tall the BACK of your handle needs to be. Make it a tiny bit smaller so you still have material to open it up more, same goes for the bow of the handle........ we can always take away, but its hard to add it back on. THE most vital tip Matt gives here is using the whole saw........ all the other techniques will start to falter by not following this simple tip; and plus youre wearing out the teeth in only a small spot and itll need a lick of a file sooner (I do reckon your saw needs a lick tho Matt :P Very good sawing tips here, Matt is a good teacher :)

That’s how they train people to drill at Boeing. Having your index finger strait out using the middle finger to control the trigger and the bottom two gripping the grip. not only does it line you up, so you drill straight holes, it cuts down your risk of getting carpal tunnel. The middle ring and pinky are your “power grip” fingers. They are in a strait line if your holding a “pistol grip” saw, drill etc. You don’t have to tweak your wrist to accommodate your index or thumb. It’s weird to learn but once you do it really makes a difference especially if your drilling steal or titanium. So I can totally see using this discipline while using a saw. Your teaching is spot on.

Hi Matt, good job on the short introduction, liked the latest chisel video as well. If I may add a few comments: 1) once the straight kerf is established dropping down the saw to focus on the front line first can help with accuracy, then flipping the piece as opposed to trying to cut front and back at the same time 2) the off hand thumb or index finger can aid with starting the cut lighter by providing friction and allowing the main hand to basically counter gravity ("lift the saw") while still guiding the saw; this can also help with starting the cut 3) the pull to start the cut issue ought to be different for cross cuts as you won't get divots(?) from the chisel edge teeth 4) my broken teethed Japanese saw would like to argue with them being more beginner friendly ;-) Cheers, David

Would really be interesting for you to do an updated video on making a nice dovetailed box with budget kit. Looking at the dovetail saw, they look nice but I can't, sadly, afford £60 or £200+ for one. However, Screwfix do one for £26 so would be interesting seeing if its possible to do fine work with these cheap tools when starting out. In the hope of one day being able to afford the more expensive tools.

I love your channel and I'm learning so much from it! I have a question, though, I live in a small apartment and so I've gotten into wood sculpting and carving as opposed to proper carpentry. I would like to steadily increase the size of the projects I can work on, but I'm not really sure how to grow that while in a small space. I won't be building a table anytime soon, but how would you recommend growing from one practice to another? I'm going to need more substantial tools eventually, but doing woodwork with simple flexcut tools is still very satisfying. I was just curious about what you might would recommend here - how to evolve from sculpting mentality to carpenter's mentality; and maybe a couple of tools that might bridge the gap? Thank you for your videos!

I find when I make the cut of a dovetail with my Japanese saw, I look at the tenon and it looks slightly bumpy and ridged. When I do cut and then stop to see if Im still on the line that's when I feel that the blade shifts ever so slightly and I see this tiny litte ridge on the tenon. What would you recommend? Should I still be applying slight pressure to the blade when looking to see if Im still on the line? When I cut a straight line I don't see these ridges as often but when making angled cuts I do.

Question about sawing Matt : I recently went to cut veeeeery long beams in half (lengthwise cause I'm a foul), I ended up struggling to choose wich cutting angle to keep : beam flat and cutting along the grain or beam up, cutting from grain end. Found myself going back and forth multiple times just to entertain myself on the hours it took me to cut that beam and of course it showed on the cut face cause it messed up my alignement everytime... waht wood be the best practice here? Wich angle to keep when cutting long cuts? And yes, I know, the best angle would be to buy a bandsaw or a table saw but who does this when you can grow huge muscles and entertain yourself for days just making one cut? right? ^^'
