Early Access Video: Turning Saw with Uri!
Added 2020-07-04 11:00:02 +0000 UTCFriends:
This was a rough one! There were mistakes and setbacks and my own damn insecurities getting in my way, but I pushed through and the end result really is something. I'll keep it brief here because the story is in the video.
Thanks for all your AMAZING support as I worked through this build.
Happy 4th of July!

You got me wrong! That's the way to get get a blade for the "unmodified" handles with the slot, hole and peg! You don't buy them, but make them and with a proper band saw blade they are also resharpable. The blades you used on the finished and modified saw are not common in that length but available.

2020-07-12 15:42:15 +0000 UTCI imagine the manufacturer here will ship internationally. The ones I used are SO good.

2020-07-12 15:34:23 +0000 UTCUri's videos are fantastic, like the ones from Rex are. It's nice to see how these awesome guys with totally different approach cooperate. Thanks for it! :) (Btw., Uri is pronounced like "oo-ree", I think;))

2020-07-09 13:07:15 +0000 UTCMaybe for the next time: Buy a band saw blade with appropriate teeth - a metall or bone blade. Bent the welding multiple times to break it. Mark the required length and bent/break it too. Mark the hole position, place a nail on your mark and punch with a hammer, turn over and repeat from the other side until the mark gets brittle. Clamp it (!) and bore your holes with a normal steel bore. If the nail punching does not work to get it brittle, heat the ends to light red. You can not buy such blades in Germany.

2020-07-09 09:16:41 +0000 UTCgreat work rex! I've also followed Uri for a long time as well. Everything turned out great!

2020-07-07 15:37:52 +0000 UTCJute is what I use. It gives it an authentic look and feel which is what I look for.

2020-07-07 15:14:35 +0000 UTCHello. You might try a more natural string like Manila or Jute. I've used them for a while. Even if they did stretch a little, just wind it one or more extra turns.

2020-07-07 13:15:24 +0000 UTCI thought *I* was the only one who can make a prototype for a part, and then carefully copy it wrong. And have it be the last piece of matching wood I have. *doh*

2020-07-07 01:18:40 +0000 UTCI think Kevlar string would do the trick. It's used a lot for flying stunt kites because there is no stretch in it so it is very responsive to maneuvers.

2020-07-06 22:20:42 +0000 UTCFair enough! :) Keep up the great job!

2020-07-06 13:42:53 +0000 UTCi wrote about a frame saw but i lack engeneering knowledge. It would be a pleasure to go in depth here; i think mere mortals say a big thank you because we get a afst 6 accurate tools at a price around 15€/$. a tool comparable to old disston' on large scale projects until large tennons. Lost art blog press posted a heavy duty frame saw, link:

2020-07-06 13:42:49 +0000 UTCSt Judes is one of the charities that is supported by Punkin Chunkin, which I have been involved with for over 25 years. In fact, my pumpkin hurling catapult uses a twisted rope torsion bundle very much like this frame saw or turning saw here. This is another reason I want to make one soon.
Robert A Carbo
2020-07-06 13:40:25 +0000 UTCHave you posted about these over on the Discourse? I'm looking to get WAY deeper into this tool.
Rex Krueger
2020-07-06 11:40:42 +0000 UTCCan you recommend a specific string?
Rex Krueger
2020-07-06 11:39:56 +0000 UTCTracy is correct. I can't post the ebay auction until the video goes to wide release.
Rex Krueger
2020-07-06 11:39:36 +0000 UTCIt's my favorite charity. What's worse than a sick kid?
Rex Krueger
2020-07-06 11:35:40 +0000 UTCUri is worth getting hooked on.
Rex Krueger
2020-07-06 11:35:16 +0000 UTCYou're totally right. That's called a "loose tenon" and it would have worked for sure. But I'm not going to do that on a tool that I'm auctioning off for charity.
Rex Krueger
2020-07-06 11:35:00 +0000 UTCBeautiful project!! I'm a bit partial here, being "continental" we use frame saws for pretty anything. But, Unfortunately, there are not too many references on frame saws. In my limited experience i found: 1) spanish windlass and toggle is the best nmechanism to apply pression, not a threaded rod. ( nylon, dacron ecc are also fine choiches). 2) mortise and tennon joint introduces some twist. Bridle joint seems to work better here. 3) sometimes the blade flex nobody knows why. ..

2020-07-06 10:15:11 +0000 UTCI just finished making one of these today.

2020-07-05 20:23:03 +0000 UTCThat's turned out very nice. Love that you don't cover up mistakes. Only suggestion I would make is change the nylon string to a natural string as the nylon will stretch. Beautiful tool.

2020-07-05 17:51:20 +0000 UTCHey Rex I'll be darned if I can find the link to the ebay auction! It must be an age thing!
Eric Koglin
2020-07-05 05:31:03 +0000 UTCThank you for showing your mistakes and how you fix them! It adds to the inspiration I get from your channel and helps me keep working. Oh, and the saw is beautiful!

2020-07-05 05:17:53 +0000 UTCI enjoyed Uri's insane skils and humor for long time, so it was a beautiful suprise to see you, Rex, colaborating with him. I was always under the impression that him is a Frenchman - so I belived judging his lovable accent. So it came as a surprise to me to hear that he is from Germany.

2020-07-04 21:28:17 +0000 UTCHey Rex, great video as always. Very cool to see you work with Uri. The saw came out awesome. Always happy to see that you keep your humility and show this newbie that even guys with lots of experience make mistakes! Keep up the great work. Hope you guys make a ton of cash off that saw!! Cheers!
Brian Benson
2020-07-04 21:09:48 +0000 UTCThat is a beautiful saw. I also love that you two are donating this to raise funds for St Judes - a really great charity. Good on ya Mates!
Robert A Carbo
2020-07-04 18:38:47 +0000 UTCSimply fascinating! I had never heard of Uri before,, but am hooked already. And the fact that you chose to support my favorite charity brings it up to a whole 'nother level! Thank you both!

2020-07-04 15:37:32 +0000 UTCBeautiful! I can't wait for the human version :-)
Kevin Lundquist
2020-07-04 15:15:39 +0000 UTCMate this is great stuff! Watching you make mistakes makes it really "human". I look forward to the human version :-)
Stuart Woodcock
2020-07-04 14:08:31 +0000 UTCMy first thought on how to "repair" the stretcher was to cut a blind mortise into the end of the stretcher and glue in a sort of "both-way" tenon (or even just simply drill two holes and use two round dowels) - just my 2 cents ;)
Paweł Handzlik
2020-07-04 12:02:58 +0000 UTCThe gauntlet was thrown, you picked it up and no one got hurt. Beautiful collaboration from both parties and I love how you guys will auction this one out for charity. Have a great 4th and I am looking forward to the next challenge :)

2020-07-04 11:49:13 +0000 UTCThis is fantastic, also, bravo for figuring out a way to help it help those in need, especially these days.
