    Default Frame saw

    Here is my new frame saw. The design is copied from Joshua A Clark ( http://www.hyperkitten.com/woodworking/frame_saw.php3 ).

    Second image is of my first half blind dovetail joint. Third is the saw in action, and the last shows the warped 4-6mm thick board I resawed.

    The blade is a section of a 19mm 6TPI bandsaw blade. Body is from a piece of Brazillian Mahogany I picked in a garage sale. Finish is danish oil and Ubeaut Traditional Wax. (Derek's plane handle finish.)

    You can never have enough planes, that is why Mr Stanley invented the 1/2s

    What's it like to drive the thing? Does it get much wander and is it easy to get started and keep it going?

    I'd like to make one up myself, but I doubt I have the temperament to drive it without throwing it through the wall after the first failed attempt or twelve...

    Would be useful, as I could have that do rip little things, then leave the BS set up to run small blades. The guides I made up work great on the re-saw blade, but don't work too great with anything under 1.5" wide. And it's prolly easier to make up a small re-saw armstrong animal than to keep swapping guides over all the time.

    But I am lazy, which prolly accounts for most of it.

    Good looking saw.
