Backpack to fit a 4feet CrossCut Saw?

[VikingGirl]

Hi guys,

Does anyone know a backpack long enough to fit a 4feet CrossCut Saw without sticking out?
The largest I'm finding about 120 liters, are not longer than 3 feet at most!

Cheers

I don't know you'll have much luck. A backpack that long would just be too heavy to carry if full. Your only hope might be a military backpack with a 'beaver tail' arrangement used for sniper rifles etc. Which makes me think of an alternative, a rifle bag molle'd to a normal size rucksack?

To accommodate a saw 4ft long you're looking at a backpack that is at least 6 inches longer than the saw and I seriously doubt you would find a commercially made backpack that big.

What about something meant for carrying skis?

I thought about that, but people seem to wrap skis to check them in, I fear they won't allow that with a saw..

Fishing rod bag / quiver as used by coarse and carp fishermen?

Are you looking for a way to pack it as checked luggage? Is it a rigid (non collapsing) bow saw? If the answer to these questions is yes, I'd suggest just wrapping the blade securely and safely and just attaching the luggage tag directly to the saw. Another option might be to remove the blade, roll it and pack it, then attach a luggage tag to the bladeless saw frame.

I think it best to make a case from something like thin ply, just two flat pieces with some foam padding bolted together would do, then put the case in a bag. Shouldn't be too hard to make a simple bag, which could then be strapped to the outside of a rucksack for carrying.

Sorry, my mistake. You said "crosscut" and my mind registered "bow saw."

Anyway, I still think if you're packing it as checked baggage the idea to just secure the blade (wrap it in something cut resistant and tape securely) and attach the baggage tag directly will be your only option unless you have a case custom made.

Or adapting mrcharly's idea; cut 2 pieces of plywood that extend the length of the blade (but inside the handles) and are wide enough to cover the blade with enough tp spare that you can drill bolt hole without drilling the blade. Just sandwich the blade between the 2 pieces and bolt them together.

How about having a leather mask/case made for it? You could have removable straps for it too so that if you ever need to carry it any distance then you could sling it over your shoulder.
