These little bench appliances are great for working on turned legs or positioning a piece on it's corner for carving work or chamfers. These are shown in Moxon's book but I added dogs to the bottom for my own spin.
That reflection tip is awesome!
My Grandfather taught me to oil and clean all his saws to a shine; I later did this to mine for years thinking the purpose was to protection and clean them. This wan until I saw him cutting a joint and I realize he was not even looking at the line, he was looking at the saw instead. Thank you for shearing all these old techniques.
My grandfather taught me to use the reflection of the work piece in the saw plate years ago and it has come in handy many times.
The saddles look very handy. And the tip about the reflection is excellent. I use power tools more now with the arthritis, but still like using handtools when I can.
he scores extra points for the Greatful Dead T-shirt :)
Good video. I have used a similar bunch of these for a long time in my bench with rectangular dog holes. They work just as well that way. I also use a second one as a clamp with my holdfast to prevent marring the work as another comment. Thanks, Steve

I enjoy watching your videos and the content is useful which I think we all appreciate it.
One small remark or however, not all of us are so fortunate to own a brand new saw with a mirror polished blade to have the " visual angle" advantage, it is a good reference point, I must admit but, polishing an old saw to that degree of shine, just not happening for that...
Thanks for the video though.
That‘s some impressive hand-sawing.
On one of my saddles I have a 6mm (1/4) stop glued to the back of it...... made like your saddles, but one of em has the 45 closed off on the back with my stop; then my part can butt up against that instead of poppin up another dog to stop my part from movin forward.
You can also flip the free block over the top and improve the purchase of the system (joiners saddle) by flipping it over on top and then use your Veritas adjustable holdfast down on top of the free block. This would grab round stock and you could even use a rag between block and piece you’re working on to reduce bruising. It would hold that piece perfectly perpendicular on the 45° so improve accuracy for many working situations from making a lambs tongue, tenon, or a mortise. Thoughts?
I love tricks like this!
Great video. I love this little tips!
Really usefull, need to make myself one of these!
Use the saddle without the dog to use with the hold fast on top so it doesn’t ruin your corner.
I was watching this, and the whole time thinking, Why not take a saddle, flip it over, without a dog on the other side, then use it to compress the ends already in a saddle and this way the clamp or hold downs never touch your work?
of course why not. although I find that the more I restrain the work the more annoyed I get by having to fasten and unfasten every time I move the piece or pick it up to examine it. Its a balancing act
See your point, guess it was my initial instinct to make sure the wood couldn't run off. Of course as fine an idea as yours I wouldn't imagine the work would go far, newbie as I am, I have a lot to learn.
Or, why not just flip the work piece end for end, then you can work the grain in the opposite direction against the dog?
Was thinking the same thing seem so obvious
Shannon. Love your videos. Where can I get that great music on your introduction?
The song is called "Birmingham Jail" by a band called Chatham County Line, look for a live recording they're fantastic
Nifty
What is the point of the fake planing sounds starting around 8:25?
Don't know if you will see this or not, but what is the brand of hand saw that you are using? It's just melting through the wood.
Andy Johnson it is a Bontz Saw. It is very nice but nothing a sharp saw can’t do
How did you get a mirror finish on your saw? Sandpaper?
That is a newer saw so I didn't do anything, but yes, high grit sandpaper (auto body stuff, 600 grit or higher) or steel wool will remove any rust. I would only bother with a back saw used for more precise cuts however
My saws are not shinny enough to throw a reflection.
+Dan Fuller grab some metal polish and a scotch brite pad. The reflection is invaluable to tell you how you are sawing.
