Bucksaw - made from an old dining chair

[Tom Gold]

This is the 5th bucksaw I've made and I think this time I've got it right! The uprights are made from an old oak dining chair and the tennon from an offcut of the oak beam we made the mantlepiece. It doesn't fold into itself but it cuts very nicely and feels comfortable in the hand.

Here's a clip of its first outing - gathering a bit of standing deadwood! [video=youtube;S4sj-MIAssE]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4sj-MIAssE[/video]
