Bucksaw

Well two hours later and im chuffed to bits with it.
Tools used were,
Laplander saw, SFA and my Dorset woodland blades DSP.
The holes were done with a 50yr old hand drill.

Still requires a bit of sanding to finish but cuts a dream
Problem is the blades i had bought for the job were 21"but i did all my measuring with
the one from my 24"bowsaw.
All in cost me £6 for the timber.

[Everything Mac]

Good bit of kit those! It'll come in real handy! Good job!

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Cheers for that.
I would love to try and do one with decent machine tools but dont know anyone in the area who will let me use them.

 

[Dreadhead]

crackin stuff bud i like it!

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Bit of multi use really. The windlass and cord are from my bowdrill set

Nice job!

 

[nolightweight]

Nice job, mush.

Looks great. Are you going to leave the wood plain or give a finish, or maybe play with some pyrography to tart it up.

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

TBH it was a play about to see how it turned out more than anything.
I might give it a coat of sealer but next is to try and get some nice hardwood and make another
but to fit my 21"blades and make it much neater.

 

[Erro Telcontar]

that looks great! i've just finished making one myself

Had a go on this over the weekend, very nice indeed. Good job mate.

Here is the owner putting it through it's paces:

This site is costing me all my spare time. Whenever I see something like this I can't resist to try it! Very neat saw.

 

[sasquatch]

It certainly worked a treat processing the wood pile, thanks for bringing it John. It was a pleasure to use...

 

[peatbog]

Very nice, I payed about £40 for one of them, wish I could have made one, much more personal.

 

[Treeclipper]

I made one of these myself, but whenever I use it , the cut slopes of to the right so I end up with a curving cut through the wood, tightened the blade as much as I could but no luck, just can't seem to get a straight cut, yours looks really nice though .lots better than mine

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Thanks for the comments on the saw. Im thinking about making some of these in hardwood and would like to know who might be interested in one and what would be a reasonable price to sell them for.

That's a great job, the first thing that comes to mind is those trips where you have to pay to get your gear flown in and want to save weight coming out, all you'd have to bring back is the blade to avoid littering.

regarding the blade cutting at an angle, sometimes it's the set or the sharpening of the teeth that causes that, also if you don't try to force it throught the material you're cutting.
