  0 Thread: Case Miter Shooting Board
Post: Re: Case Miter Shooting Board
I made one of these for a Hand Tool School lesson a few year back. The design has been around a long time but I think one of the earliest examples I found was from Charles Hayward. Regardless, its v...

It is a dovetail bridle and no difference in assembly, it is just sexier!

Post: Re: Shannon has a video up of his saw in action
I'm hesitant to declare the wider "wheel base" of this larger saw to be the key to a straight cut. I finished a 36" model of this same saw recently and shrunk all the dimensions by 1/3 resulting in a...

Post: Re: Shannon has a video up of his saw in action
The weight is actually a good thing as it does a lot of the work for you. I can't imagine the price tag on a bandsaw that can make this resaw cut, nor the space it would take up in my tiny shop. The...

Post: Re: Shannon has a video up of his saw in action
I'm intrigued by his work holding method in this video. Though I can't imagine sitting down and sawing like that. Looks exhausting. I can't tell if it is just the camera angle but it looks like a f...

I have the larger size Somax pistol grip set that I bought from Tools for Working Wood about 5 years ago. There is very little set on this saw

Post: Re: Shannon has a video up of his saw in action
I saw that thread and there may be some validity to that width statement. My saw is 24" wide and it is very comfortable to use since it keeps my hands shoulder width apart. What is interesting is th...

Post: Re: Shannon has a video up of his saw in action
One more thing, don't worry too much about the hole placement, the tension screw has quite a bit of travel to take up any slack in the blade. Just assemble the frame and slip the blade in place. Mar...

Post: Re: Shannon has a video up of his saw in action
I don't have a 3" blade for the 48" saw, but I just installed a 3" in my 36" saw last night that I'm hoping to play around with after WoodTalk tonight. I think the 3" will still be better than 2 but ...

Post: Re: Shannon has a video up of his saw in action
The first board is 10" wide and the Walnut was about 5" (13 cm) wide. Resawing down on a sawbench would be torture most definitely. Even when I have resawn with a standard rip saw, I have done it cl...

I usually try to edit out the repetitive stuff, but this is one time I think I could have just let the camera run and run Isaac. Good old fashioned saw porn! Thanks again for your help with the blad...

A huge thanks to Isaac Smith of Blackburn Tools for working with me on my upcoming frame saw build for The Hand Tool School. I filed the teeth on my current saw by hand and it is not a task I would w...
