I know exactly that I have to clean the garage. But lets be honest, is there a more joyful way of procrastination than learning about vintage hand tools from this absolute master of a creaftsman? 💪😁

Thank you for sharing your experience!

What an excellent class! Never in my life, despite my constant curiosity in the mystery of this tool, have I had such a profound explanation. Thank you so much!

You have touched on very basic fundamentals, that’s, these days, very few people know about. Thanks

Great Video Mr. Blackburn! I like the whetstone tip to reduce the set. Useful for brand new saws that always seem too aggressive. Thanks!

I just bought a Disston D8 rip saw and this video was really timely! I’m looking forward to learning more about good sawing technique and form! Thank you!

Great informative video! Thank you, Sir!

I have an issue more with re-sawing and rip cuts. I do what you say with following both guidelines, and I'm good for about 3 inches or so, then the saw will start to drift away. Now, that's either my imbalance of body force or an inadequate saw. My saw choices are really not good at all.

But with the knowledge you give in your videos on saws, they show me that I might have better results with a proper saw. So, thank you again.

Thank you Graham. I have an old Disston saw hanging on my wall which needs attention! Ill wait however for the video on rip and cross cut saws, so i can confirm the tooth pattern - as it seems to be a hybrid of both...

[henrythurman]

thank you for the video it was a great help

Excellent video as always, Graham! I'm a little behind on my viewing, but am trying to catch up! I'm still reading book two of the Illustrated Workshop, by the way. It's full of great information and excellent illustrations! Thank you very much.
