I would love to see that follow up video with uses for each. Some of those it would be great to see in use, particularly in the frame saw category

[kennethbezanson]

I'd love to see those specialty saws you mentioned. I always enjoy when you show off a cool or unique tool

[mattevans-koch]

Thank you James. I thought I had a lot of saws, you make me feel like I am saw broke. Take care and stay well.

[MCsCreations]

Awesome, James! Thanks a lot! 😃
Hand tools, including saws, are next in my wishlist!
Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks James! Just picked up a veritas carcass saw today and then just found this video!

[kencarlile]

Once again, I have learned much from your video! Thanks!

James you forgot the D17 Double Duty saw. The hybrid handsaw. Jk. It actually gives a nice aggressive, yet clean cut. It's a good conversation saw in a tool kit. I love conversation saws. Then again all my tools are conversation tools. I can talk about them all day.

I'm glad to say I "saw" your video

[adrienrenaux]

I really try not to worry too much about names but rather about characteristics of the saw and what it means for the functionality of the saw. Plate thickness, tooth size and geometry, set, cutting depth, length, etc. Those are, I believe, the most important thing to understand in order to make your own choices for the type of work you do. There are so many people pretending to know what the "ideal kit" of saws is, and I think it's interesting to look at them for information and inspiration, but in the end, only experimentation will get you there.

[TheCrawfX]

Exactly what I was looking for, thanks G

[upsidedowndog]

Nice explanation of the likes and differences!

[athmostafa]

Awesome video, waiting for my saws to come in mail, I can't wait . 👍

[Suicaedere]

Another absolutely lovely video James, nicely done you guys/gals🙌🏼⚡️🙌🏼⭐️

[TankGunner]

So awesome, you came out with this video minutes after mortise and tenon came out with a video on back saws!

[egbluesuede]

Really great explanation. Now I can truly say with a straight need more saws. I'll add to my watch list and wait for the next MWTCA meeting! ;-)

In Germany we call the panelsaw "Fuchsschwanz" which means fox's tail because of the wide shape and coarsely serrated teeththe. I really like this name because I think it describes the type of saw very nice 🦊

I’m looking for a good miter box saw. I put it on my Christmas list. Although I’ve had it on my list last year and I ended up with a cheap saw from Menards. My family needs to see this video.

[andrewmortimer]

Great video! I just watched your video on Japanese style saws yesterday. I would be interested in any channel recommendations you have regarding larger Japanese saws. I’m thinking of what was used for stock prep from cut tree to getting into the shop. The history is fascinating to me.

Good on ya James, I really am happy for you and your success. You present a great product and seem extremely genuine and humble. I am happily 👍🏻 and feeding AL with my comments.

Are you starting to hoard rasps and files to go with your killer spokeshave collection? I ask green with envy….. but seriously I could use a genuine recommendation for a durable Slim or extra slim taper file. The new Nicholson line isn’t cutting it and I am running out of the NOS eBay USA made gems like the full box of 6” XSTaper Simmons that I hide in my sock drawer so they don’t walk out of my shop.

From one aficionado to another; may the grain always be rising and finish never be paint!

(The paint thing is a joke. Every project is unique and the craftsman has the right to finish it, as much as this pains me to say, in whatever way they see fit.)
But seriously, save the paint for rust prevention and artwork like Handprint Turkeys.

I need that saw for my miter box, I picked up a aprox 50yr old one at the thrift store in April and Def need a longer saw for it.
