[munkiboi182]

will be giving this a go as soon as i can, got a spare blade poking around in the man cave. not sure when tho, only just done the net needle from previous thread

Here's mine so far........and the tools i've used......i am going to try and do it all with just handtools, the only power tool i'll use will be a drill for the mortices and the pin for the blade because i don't have an auger.It's made from reclaimed oak possibly old canal lock gates.

Here's my effort. Rough as anything but I'll tidy it up one day. It works as a tool which is the main thing.

Here's mine. Not my design, but i liked the shape of the handles on this. Oak with brass pins.

So I realize this build a long is over, but I wanted to show the bucksaw I produced last night anyway. I made one last year with just hand tools and due to fiddling with it too much and poor design it ended up not really working.

So, I wanted to make one based more on the standard design that actually folds and not just comes apart. Last month I was finishing writing my Masters Thesis in Physics so I didn't have the time to participate. But I'm waiting on some corrections now from my supervisor, so I figured I'd have a crack at it. Went out the other night and bought a used but never used table saw for $80, then went and bought a small vise and chisels. Below is the result.

I made this from a fallen maple tree I hauled out of the woods, so cost (besides tools) was very little. It's a little rough but it was my first attempt. I gave it a rough sanding with 100grit paper and coated in linseed oil.

Thoughts?
