I totally support this idea. You guys(along with @Alec Steele) made my top 3 best craftsman RUclips channel and it's awesome to see this collaboration!
I finally watched this video and then watched Uri Tuchman's. All very cool and educational and fun, but by FAR the best part is hearing Uri say your name :)
Something about this makes me reflect on a lesson that it took me a long time to learn. Most of my life I saved really nice materials and one-time use objects for when I thought I was good enough for them and as a result they became burdens that sat around unused for years instead of being the treasures that they should have been. I was afraid of "wasting" them like you might have felt like you did with the wood that you cut short or the finely crafted handle pin that broke. But through years of carrying these burdens, I've finally begun to learn to use them instead of wasting them by not using them. Even in the failures, they turn into treasure of a kind that doesn't become burdensome: experience. They're much more valuable in use than they ever are on the shelf, under the bed, in a box, or somewhere else getting in the way of cleanliness and order. Many other things (like money, fine tools, clothes, consumables in games, and life in general) are the same. Take care of them, but also use them. Don't let them sit safely in their glass cases getting lonely for not being allowed to serve their entire purpose for existence; doing so wastes their value. Rather than hanging on a wall somewhere, never again knowing the touch of a craftsman, I hope this saw cuts lots of wood even though that means it will gain a few bruises and scratches along the way. Only items that are used for their intended purpose are truly appreciated. Leave wall-hanging to the paintings and tapestries that are meant for such things.
You say Uri is super famous with a huge viewership. But I've watched and subbed to many woodworkers for many years including yourself Rex, and never heard of Uri, never seen him in recommended videos. You're helping him too
What I love about both your work and Uri's videos is how you are unafraid of using hand tools. So few people bother doing things by hand and you guys really appreciate working with the materials. I must admit before watching both your channels I really avoided using hand tools where I could, but not at all anymore
I'm normally one of those silent viewers of woodworking videos who seldom chimes in but I just wish to say thank you for this video. First, I wasn't familiar with Uri's work and now I know to search for his channel. Secondly, I was very impressed with your thoughts about the positives of collaborating even when two people are not exactly on the same level. That is such a great comment. Thank you for this video!
Its cool how you admit your mistakes. And how you acknowledge how we all bring different skills and experience to the table. The sum of the parts is worth more than the individual parts. That counts for skills, too.
Been a fan of you both for some time and this collab was a perfect marriage of your individual strengths. Both have great inspirational videos and I really enjoy the humour you both bring. Thank you both
As a subscriber to both of these channels... I have to say that this Super Hero Team-Up was not expected. For a channel that has a focus on woodworking for humans... Collaborating with Uri really sets that bar high on what it means to be "human".
Great collaboration! My dad always said “sometimes knowledge of what not to do is better the trying to find a new way to constructing the unknown.“ I’m not sure where he found that little nugget of wisdom but i live it daily. Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoy your channel and thank you so much for including your mistakes. It really helps me not lose my motivation when I make a mistake. THANKS!
100% agree that having a hands-on feel for the size of something is so important. if someone says "it's super small!" we would say "give me an order of magnitude - 1 inch or 10 inches?" to get a feel
Another beautifully done video from a great teacher. Rex, I hope you don't get tired of my trying to compliment you. I look forward to the next version and hope it will be an doable project. Stay safe.
Your ending monologue was well said. I'd be terrified to try to add on to Uri's work--but he also gives off that vibe of having been born with a set of craftsman's tools.
For those of us not in a position to take part in the auction, I think we would still like to know how much it goes for. That's a beautiful tool, and a worthy cause.
i thought he was gonna be clever and do something like split the wood block, so it can come off easy and you just have to clamp it back in place for the other one.
@@BloodSprite-tan Yeah splitting the block was my first instinct, too. But there's always multiple ways to achieve something, and sometimes you hit a bad one ;)
Wow, that is just just so. I made a turning saw last summer after I got totally fed up with coping saws. I’ve used coping saws for dogs ages doing finish trim, and I’ve never been happy with them, even though I thought they were the best tool for the job. Enter a turning saw. I used one one time, just once, SOLD, I had to have one. From the photo and using Gramercy hardware, I built one. I no longer use my coping saw, haven’t touched it even once since I built the turning saw. I even use it for all my decorative curves. I don’t yet own a band saw, though that is no 1 on the wish list. I believe you will now be forced to make yourself one too. Once you play with it a bit you will have to have one. Once again, I have to thank you for this project. I love how you had no hesitation modifying Uri’s part. Fantastic result, and far fewer mistakes than I made.
6 1/2 days left in the auction and it's already up to $450.00 (US). Great job, guys. What a gorgeous piece, great story of making it, and ultimately wonderful charity work.
I can’t imagine this was the video you thought you were going to make. But I loved this video. This felt to me like a huge challenge to you and that’s what I love about woodworking is constantly improving.
The man is a genius. Love all of his stuff. Rex as a maker you give excellent access. You are a natural sensei. Good to see channels that are fantastic linking
Great job! One of the things I love about Uri is how down to earth and humble he is, despite being a masterful artist. I made a bow saw many years ago, and I don't use it very often, but when I need it, it's great to have. Also, the way I made it, I can also stick a hacksaw blade in it, and it's better than any other hacksaw I've ever used.
I love watching Uri, his work is off the chain so combined with you this made for an awesome video and I think once I get caught up with life this is something I want to make as well. Many thanks for the video Rex, keep them coming !!!
I made saw many years ago from an off cut of teak, oak handles turned on a home made lathe and two 2 1/2” no 10 wood screws to hold the handles and blade in place. The handles are a bit rough, but serviceable. It’s definitely the woodworking for humans variety. I didn’t find the joinery was that critical - the tensioning cord holds it together very firmly. It’s a nice project to make, but to be honest I rarely use the saw.
This just goes to remind us how great of a human Rex is :) Getting through all of that and NOT keeping the saw for a better cause. Great job Rex! I might just end up refurbishing my turning saws :)
Hi Rex, when you cut the stretcher too short you could have solved the issue by simply adding two slim wooden cheeks projecting out either side of the stretcher ends, obviating the need for tenons. This keeps the saw's structure intact without the need of mortices in the arms, which adds to structural strength. It also has the advantage of allowing you to move the stretcher's position on the arms when greater depth of cut is needed. I once bought such a saw from a flea market in France and it worked just fine. Bests.
Love your work. I am more of a machine woodworker but I have been inspired to build some of the tools that you have recreated. In some applications using hand tools is quicker than setting up the router table or using multiple power tools for a small job. When you cut the stretcher too short the first thing that came to mind for me was a floating tenon. Perhaps something to consider for future mistakes. 😉
That is a very pretty and function tool and thanks for showing the mistakes that we don't need to copy. I thought that the mortise and tenon joints needed to be loose, so tightening the string put tension on the blade rather than stressing a pair of tight joints. Maybe that detail is only relevant to larger bow saws and frame saws
Wow I could feel the pain in those mistakes rex. I admire you for showing us it all! It'll stick in my mind next time I make a mistake myself. Beautiful looking saw
Saw was great I actually went to Ebay semi planning to bid on it...until I saw the price, lol. Actually, I'll get over it, it great that you both are using your independent skills to help such a great cause. I love your channel!
here is what i do in little old england,i buy band saw blades,there really cheap, cut them to length depending on how my saw turns out and drill or punch holes in each end.This gives an endless choice of of tooth size, blade size ect.,
Every video is really great. Looking forward to the next one. Today I did my first plane restauration. Turned out great! Greetings from the Netherlands. Love your work!
You two are both very talented and skilled Makers and have done an amazing job! I truely hope it does well at auction (I've just checked and it's already beond my ability to plce a bid) it'ssuch a worthy cause and you two are really great people for contributing to it!
If it seems like crazy dense oak it might be beech. i had a beech hand plane i thought was old growth oak until i found the makers stamp and researched the plane

I'm really happy we got to make something together! the saw came out amazing! Looking forward to making more stuff in the future.
מטורף כן אבל הוא אמר גרמני במקום ישראלי גרמני😅
I totally support this idea. You guys(along with @Alec Steele) made my top 3 best craftsman RUclips channel and it's awesome to see this collaboration!
Can a saw be sexy?
Yes.
Uri and Rex are both so modest about themselves, but take so much pride in their work. I hope you work together again soon.
V nice job. Gonna try make one 👌
I finally watched this video and then watched Uri Tuchman's. All very cool and educational and fun, but by FAR the best part is hearing Uri say your name :)
You are the best woodworking politician I've ever heard. You sound like my mum when I couldn't beat my big brother.
Cheers Mark

You speak directly to the soul of the beginning wood worker and enlighten us! 😀
What I love about both your work and Uri's videos is how you are unafraid of using hand tools. So few people bother doing things by hand and you guys really appreciate working with the materials.

that moment when your favorite craftsmen collaborate
Came here from a very polite german. I am not disappointed. You got a new follower from me today!
Both of you are my favorite artisans. I'm very excited about that!
Its cool how you admit your mistakes. And how you acknowledge how we all bring different skills and experience to the table. The sum of the parts is worth more than the individual parts. That counts for skills, too.
I appreciate that you speak about mistakes. It’s an important part of learning and a good reminder of possible missteps for a beginner like myself.
Man! How did I miss this episode....I freaking love Uri! He's so talented and hilarious. Genius!
Been a fan of you both for some time and this collab was a perfect marriage of your individual strengths. Both have great inspirational videos and I really enjoy the humour you both bring. Thank you both
Y'all are funny... both of you have wonderful insites....and I have not watched the video, yet. I am sure I will not be disappointed.
Both of you are amongst my favourite craftsman on RUclips. Loved your works n I have learned a lot from you guys. Thanks n God Bless u always 😙
That marking knife add-on was an excellent touch he put in!

as someone who likes a cooping saw I am excited to see the wood works for humans version. I am glad you are doing some projects for charity.
That's beautiful! I'm looking forward to the "woodworking for humans" model.
please rex, please!!!
I really enjoy your channel and thank you so much for including your mistakes.
It really helps me not lose my motivation when I make a mistake.
THANKS!
Insane, genius, Renaissance Man, artist. All applicable to Herr Tuchman.
I appreciate your willingness to show us your mistakes. It's so encouraging to novices like myself.
Great project! That mystery wood make me think of something in the hickory family.
100% agree that having a hands-on feel for the size of something is so important. if someone says "it's super small!" we would say "give me an order of magnitude - 1 inch or 10 inches?" to get a feel
Your videos have given me my ambition to make all my tools. I have seen saws like this but for logs, haven’t seen it used for detail work.
Another wonderful craftman's story. And yes, Uri is pretty amazing too.
Absolutely awesome Turning Saw , Rex !!!!!!!!!!!!!
You and Uri did great!
I have enjoyed watching both of these channels over the last year. Great job!
Awesome! Thank you!
Honestly covering mistakes and being pragmatic is why I subscribed to this channel
Another beautifully done video from a great teacher. Rex, I hope you don't get tired of my trying to compliment you. I look forward to the next version and hope it will be an doable project. Stay safe.
This was a really nice episode. Rex you are a good person. Thanks
Well done to you both! A worthy charity too. Thank you
Wow! That is so cool!😁 Wow it's nice that guy sent you those beautiful tools. 😊

That's a beautiful tool, and a worthy cause.
Its at US $560 at the moment and 5 days left!
You both did a fantastic job on making the saw. It is beautifully made. Thanks for sharing this.
Two of my favorite youtubers, together! Life is grand.
Admit it, you cried real tears and said “I broke it” when the little piece broke off... 😂
I screamed “NOOOOO” and my roommate walked in 😂
I did!

I'll never touch a coping saw again.
Rex, I genuinely admire and appreciate you showing the mistakes made along the way. It makes these projects seems less intimidating.
Nice work on the collaboration. We posted both of your videos on our homemade tools forum this week :)
6 1/2 days left in the auction and it's already up to $450.00 (US). Great job, guys. What a gorgeous piece, great story of making it, and ultimately wonderful charity work.
Finally a collab between my 2 favorite wood workers on RUclips!
What a great video. Instructional, honest and hilarious!
My Jaw dropped when I saw the nobs. WOW!
This has to be one of the most relatable videos I have seen in a long time. Thanks for the honesty and not editing out the screw ups!
I can’t imagine this was the video you thought you were going to make. But I loved this video. This felt to me like a huge challenge to you and that’s what I love about woodworking is constantly improving.
Excellent build - the combined efforts turned out very nice. Well done! The fund raising efforts seem to be going good also.
The man is a genius. Love all of his stuff. Rex as a maker you give excellent access. You are a natural sensei.
Good to see channels that are
fantastic linking
Whoa. What a colab. Didn't see that coming. Great job!
Great video Rex, and holy moly a collab with Uri Tuchman! Very cool.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job! One of the things I love about Uri is how down to earth and humble he is, despite being a masterful artist.

You make me feel so much better about myself. Nobody’s perfect.
You are my favorite creator 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖🙏🏻 thank you so much for producing videos
Uri makes some amazing stuff, love his attitude.
I really wish i could find someone like you near me. Someone I could learn from in person. Love your videos
@11:27 you made New Hampshire! Greetings from the Granite State. Great collaboration!
OHMA GAWD MY FAVOURITE WOODWORKING RUclipsRS HAVE COLLABORATED WOHOOO
That's some beautiful work! I hope you get to do some more collaboration with Uri in the future!
I love watching Uri, his work is off the chain so combined with you this made for an awesome video and I think once I get caught up with life this is something I want to make as well. Many thanks for the video Rex, keep them coming !!!
This couldn’t have come at a better time. I’ve been trying to find a hand tool alternative to a band saw for curved cuts.
I made saw many years ago from an off cut of teak, oak handles turned on a home made lathe and two 2 1/2” no 10 wood screws to hold the handles and blade in place. The handles are a bit rough, but serviceable. It’s definitely the woodworking for humans variety. I didn’t find the joinery was that critical - the tensioning cord holds it together very firmly. It’s a nice project to make, but to be honest I rarely use the saw.
Beautiful saw. I follow both of your channels. it was fun to see your collaboration.
This saw turned out beautifully :-)
Turning saw! I really enjoy your respect for understanding your material! Great vid.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like that you drew it out by hand, and used chisels for the saw parts.
From the thumbnail alone-- that is a beautiful saw!
This just goes to remind us how great of a human Rex is :)
Getting through all of that and NOT keeping the saw for a better cause.
Great job Rex! I might just end up refurbishing my turning saws :)
You're very kind!
This is again a great video. I like how you handle things and That you use simple tools and create great stuff. Greetings from germany
Bravo Rex! I like this passion of yours for old treasures. That's really a beautiful saw, congratulations :)
Rex your enunciation is perfect, you could easily do professional VO. Keep it up.
Wonderful video rex! Thanks for teaching us this wonderful trade!
My pleasure!
In the UK it is known as a bowsaw. Small gauge bandsaw blades are excellent in this type of saw.
Keep up the good work.
Some of us in the US call it a Bow saw as well. I guess because it resembles a bow. Lol
Andrew Womack
Or a “turning saw.”

An wow I saw the EBay listening,really well done there.

Uri might be a very crafted craftsman, the products shown here are of an extreme beauty. But Rex, your videos are way better.

Congrats Rex - what a lovely project! 👍🏻
Thank you for sharing!
here is what i do in little old england,i buy band saw blades,there really cheap, cut them to length depending on how my saw turns out and drill or punch holes in each end.This gives an endless choice of of tooth size, blade size ect.,
Every video is really great. Looking forward to the next one. Today I did my first plane restauration. Turned out great! Greetings from the Netherlands. Love your work!
Awesome! Thank you!
It really amazing to see that, I was one of first Uri's subs and I gate to hear about him from you.
Gramercy bow saw kit uses both pinned blades and you can use band saw blades with the pin
I've seen where Hickory is used
Collab of the decade and it's still only 2020
I'm so glad this happened
I think it’s a kind of teak. You will see outdoor shutters made of it. I was thinking so by look and when you said waxy feeling I’m pretty sure.
Is there such a thing as indoor shutters? Anyway. My guess is teak of some sort.
A miracle, the blind carpenter picked up his hammer and SAW! Nice vid, leave the corn to me.
Great, great episode! I love his work as well as yours. Becoming a Patron, because I can relate and appreciate your skill and tutelage. 😀
You two are both very talented and skilled Makers and have done an amazing job! I truely hope it does well at auction (I've just checked and it's already beond my ability to plce a bid) it'ssuch a worthy cause and you two are really great people for contributing to it!
If it seems like crazy dense oak it might be beech. i had a beech hand plane i thought was old growth oak until i found the makers stamp and researched the plane
👏👏👏👏👏
Beautiful work!
Both of you!!!
Awesome collabo build!
Big frame saw strechers are often pine as it keeps the saw ligther and only experiences compression force.
