My dad used to say "you paid for every tooth of the blade, use every tooth of the blade!"

[nram]

For those curious, it is remarkably a very in tune E ;)

"long confident strokes, use the whole blade and stay a little bit away from the layout line..."

Thanks, my wife loves this technique.

First, I really Like the Design and shape of your frame saw. Really nice :)
Moreover I do Not want to dictate a certain way of Tool usage, but the way you use your saw, is Not as intended, and there are several - as I think - good reasons for that. I just want to recommend it to you.

The reason I write this comment is, that the handle, you use to hold the saw while sawing, is actually intended as an adjustment handle, to adjust the angle of the saw blade with respect to the saw body. Once the angle is fixed, you normally Do Not Touch it anymore.
When working with the saw, you usually Grab it at the vertical Bar, right above the turning handle.
This way of Holding the saw has several advantages:
- you Do Not expose any radial pressure on the saw blade angle adjustment
- it is much more ergonomic, as your wrist remains straight
- you can apply more Force, or in other words, it is easier to lead the saw, as the motion comes from your arm, rather than from the sholder.
- work is way less tedious, as you Do Not Have to control the saw angle with your Fingers strength
- you Have much more control on the saw angle, as it is controlled by the wrist.
Especially the last point is pretty obvious in your vid, as the saw is pretty much swaying while you saw. And you can also See it in the "wavy" cut.

I hope this helps you!
And again, it is always better, to use a Tool in that way you feel comfortable with.
If my recommendation does Not apply for you, that is ok. But I think, it will improve your work :)

PS: please appologise for any misspellings and Bad englisch :) this comment comes all the way from germany...

I had an ad for kemper audio directly after this and yes... That is an E.

[andrevandenheever]

[tomrecane]

Quoting from “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas”. I love it.

[charitiekbyrd]

Something about the way you said that was a bit but I'm going to trust you anyway 😂😂😂

[lorenzopisani]

"we're your friends" is the best precon. Just take these tips in mind and try yourself, you will see and understand.

try also to understanding the meaning why we told you the tips, because most of the way understanding it get you to understand each problem you solve doing like that, and this can be relate to other similar/different situations to better understand and overcome. 💪💪

[catdaddy]

Dude, Rex… perfect pitch gang?!?

Upon a second listen, it’s the high E on a guitar. Even my ear can pick those tones EADGBE lol. I still love it!

[BloopTube]

You built the whole saw. Use the whole saw

[buddydog]

Rex, the Man....already commented on one of your other enjoy your work....i guess it's the 'German'' in ya ~

[realworkoutsforrealpeople]

"Use long, confident strokes"
😊

[BarginsGalore]

doing a bit of a wranglestar impression in that outro

[robertsummers]

It should be ingrained into the mind of every woodworker to use the entire saw blade, no matter how big it is. Even Japanese whaleback saws.

The end wasn't too creepy... Not at all... I'm ordering from Tools For Working Wood now!
