homemade folding bowsaw

[bearman]

Hi Guys!!

Im new to BCUK and this is my first post so i thought i'd share a few bits i've made recently. I really wanted a folding bow saw but after seeing them on a certain website for £80 i thought-hold on-how hard can it be to make one? the answer-not very. I made the saw from an old 2x4 i found in the garage and a cheapie bow blade from the hardware store-total cost? £3.75! take that capitalism!!!!!

The knife i made from bits ordered online and is my first attempt.5010[/ATTACH][/ATTACH]

Nicely done. There's another thread hereabouts with another nice home-made bow saw. Might be worth a gander.

Added link, and it's certainly worth a gander.

Hi Bearman,

This what i like to see , taking the bull by the horns and making your own stuff.
Looks good.
