Nothing better than restoring old tools they are far better than today's unless you have the money to buy top end makes. If a tradesmen as his name imprinted on them I keep it on as a reminder of the user from years gone by.
Try using step drill bits to bore out the holes in the saw plate. They do a superb job. I ruined more regular drill bits that I would admit to before I started using the stepped ones :)
Couple of good new saw makers (apart from the slightly obvious ones like Lie Nielsen and Veritas: Bad Axe, Florip Toolworks (very reasonably priced). I've used a Bad Axe saw before, and holy cow, I realized at that point I'd never used a sharp hand saw before. Looking forward to you making a new eurorack case with hand cut dovetails in the future ;)
Your saw cut is actually curving to the left. You need to stone the left side to reduce the set on that side. Just a couple passes with the stone then try again. The saw should make a perfectly straight cut.
You used four hand saws to repair the saw, which justifies what you're doing, even though I think it was done on purpose! I was trying to see if your Japanese saw has the teeth facing the 'wrong' direction.
Hah, thanks for that! The right tool makes the job easier - Japanese saws are generally "pullsaws" with teeth backwards from western ones. It's a good idea because they can be made lighter and thinner than push saws, but they're also hard to repair or sharpen - traditionally you'd have to go to a sawyer and have that done. I find them harder to use for joinery cuts as they are very unforgiving in tracking the original angle of the cut (can't be pushed to one side) but they're very ergonomic and fast for rough cuts.
great saw turned out👍
I dont usually say this, but I enjoy your commentary and the music in this vid! Very interesting. Subbed.
great job thank you..

Cool project and Great job buddy 👍
It is good to see Ichiban Moto branching out into woodworking.
Nice save of the original medallion, although it saddened me that you didn’t use the original apple or beech wood for the repair…

My husband uses these plans from Woodprix and is very happy with them. However. I love yours!
