You got me wrong! That's the way to get get a blade for the "unmodified" handles with the slot, hole and peg! You don't buy them, but make them and with a proper band saw blade they are also resharpable. The blades you used on the finished and modified saw are not common in that length but available.

Csongor Halmai

My apologies then. :)

Rex Krueger

I imagine the manufacturer here will ship internationally. The ones I used are SO good.

Rex Krueger

He told me I pronounced his name unusually well, so I guess i did it right.

Csongor Halmai

Uri's videos are fantastic, like the ones from Rex are. It's nice to see how these awesome guys with totally different approach cooperate. Thanks for it! :) (Btw., Uri is pronounced like "oo-ree", I think;))

Mario Wolff

Maybe for the next time: Buy a band saw blade with appropriate teeth - a metall or bone blade. Bent the welding multiple times to break it. Mark the required length and bent/break it too. Mark the hole position, place a nail on your mark and punch with a hammer, turn over and repeat from the other side until the mark gets brittle. Clamp it (!) and bore your holes with a normal steel bore. If the nail punching does not work to get it brittle, heat the ends to light red. You can not buy such blades in Germany.

great work rex! I've also followed Uri for a long time as well. Everything turned out great!

Jute is what I use. It gives it an authentic look and feel which is what I look for.

Stephen Krajewski

Hello. You might try a more natural string like Manila or Jute. I've used them for a while. Even if they did stretch a little, just wind it one or more extra turns.

Daddy Bearcat

I thought *I* was the only one who can make a prototype for a part, and then carefully copy it wrong. And have it be the last piece of matching wood I have. *doh*

Eric Koglin

I think Kevlar string would do the trick. It's used a lot for flying stunt kites because there is no stretch in it so it is very responsive to maneuvers.

Paweł Handzlik

Fair enough! :) Keep up the great job!

Probably this will clear physics things a little, reading comments

i wrote about a frame saw but i lack engeneering knowledge. It would be a pleasure to go in depth here; i think mere mortals say a big thank you because we get a afst 6 accurate tools at a price around 15€/$. a tool comparable to old disston' on large scale projects until large tennons. Lost art blog press posted a heavy duty frame saw, link:

St Judes is one of the charities that is supported by Punkin Chunkin, which I have been involved with for over 25 years. In fact, my pumpkin hurling catapult uses a twisted rope torsion bundle very much like this frame saw or turning saw here. This is another reason I want to make one soon.

Rex Krueger

Have you posted about these over on the Discourse? I'm looking to get WAY deeper into this tool.

Rex Krueger

Can you recommend a specific string?

Rex Krueger

Tracy is correct. I can't post the ebay auction until the video goes to wide release.

Rex Krueger

It's my favorite charity. What's worse than a sick kid?

Rex Krueger

Uri is worth getting hooked on.

Rex Krueger

You're totally right. That's called a "loose tenon" and it would have worked for sure. But I'm not going to do that on a tool that I'm auctioning off for charity.

carlo pieracci

Beautiful project!! I'm a bit partial here, being "continental" we use frame saws for pretty anything. But, Unfortunately, there are not too many references on frame saws. In my limited experience i found: 1) spanish windlass and toggle is the best nmechanism to apply pression, not a threaded rod. ( nylon, dacron ecc are also fine choiches). 2) mortise and tennon joint introduces some twist. Bridle joint seems to work better here. 3) sometimes the blade flex nobody knows why. ..

Aaron Sprague

I just finished making one of these today.

WoodworkLearner

That's turned out very nice. Love that you don't cover up mistakes. Only suggestion I would make is change the nylon string to a natural string as the nylon will stretch. Beautiful tool.

You may need to wait until it is posted on YouTube.

Eric Koglin

Hey Rex I'll be darned if I can find the link to the ebay auction! It must be an age thing!

Jerry

Thank you for showing your mistakes and how you fix them! It adds to the inspiration I get from your channel and helps me keep working. Oh, and the saw is beautiful!

Mihai Luţescu

I enjoyed Uri's insane skils and humor for long time, so it was a beautiful suprise to see you, Rex, colaborating with him. I was always under the impression that him is a Frenchman - so I belived judging his lovable accent. So it came as a surprise to me to hear that he is from Germany.

Brian Benson

Hey Rex, great video as always. Very cool to see you work with Uri. The saw came out awesome. Always happy to see that you keep your humility and show this newbie that even guys with lots of experience make mistakes! Keep up the great work. Hope you guys make a ton of cash off that saw!! Cheers!

Robert A Carbo

That is a beautiful saw. I also love that you two are donating this to raise funds for St Judes - a really great charity. Good on ya Mates!

Howard Tuckey

Simply fascinating! I had never heard of Uri before,, but am hooked already. And the fact that you chose to support my favorite charity brings it up to a whole 'nother level! Thank you both!

Kevin Lundquist

Beautiful! I can't wait for the human version :-)

Stuart Woodcock

Mate this is great stuff! Watching you make mistakes makes it really "human". I look forward to the human version :-)

Paweł Handzlik

My first thought on how to "repair" the stretcher was to cut a blind mortise into the end of the stretcher and glue in a sort of "both-way" tenon (or even just simply drill two holes and use two round dowels) - just my 2 cents ;)

Pierre Lenoci

The gauntlet was thrown, you picked it up and no one got hurt. Beautiful collaboration from both parties and I love how you guys will auction this one out for charity. Have a great 4th and I am looking forward to the next challenge :)
