Fractal vices are super-cool tools to have but smooth jaws have their limitations, as opposed to the diagonally-knurled, serrated jaws that most bench vices come with and those fractal jaws will only grip an object from moving up and down, as well as any smooth metal surface can and when you multiply the verticle facets to better grip the object horizontally, the jaws just become 'rails' in a vertical sense, due to less gripping surface. I would suggest putting multiple metal blocks if nessasary underneath the object to support downward pressure.
I have an idea that i believe solves a problem for people and would be a hot ticket item if we could make it affordable. it would involve metal however and I really only work with wood so I need Help.
The chain drive on the vintage saw makes perfect sense. It keeps the blade in the same orientation along its entire length as you follow a scrolling pattern. You have to swing the frame around to keep it outside the wood as the blade changes directions. You can't "just twist your arm and the entire saw" if there is wood in the way!
Also if you want to cut a long strip greater than the depth of the saw, you can then offset the frame to one side and still cut parallel to the straight edge. I have a cheap draper piercing saw where I have bent the top part of the frame so that I can cut 12" parallel strips.
Spot on, I was thinking the exact same thing. Up a ladder cutting fretwork you can't push the spine of the saw through the timber no matter how far your wrist will go ...
I guess these guys have never been up a ladder trying to something intricate with a HOUSE in the way and you CAN'T just come in from any angle you want...
I finally figured out why I keep bingeing your videos. It's not just that I'm terminally fascinated with tools and their uses - it's that you make me feel unjustifiably young in spirit. Thank you!
Wow what a saw , they are fantastic , Adam i love your enthusiasm for not only your work but the work of others , you have always been on my very small list of people i would love to talk to , brilliant video . thank you both .
Nesting is a surprisingly complex topic, really interesting to hear how it affects design. I do some CNC work, and deepnest is a great software tool to look at nesting options.
I'm lucky enough to own a Knew Concepts Ti birdcage saw. Piercing work has been one of my favourite things since the day I started training to be a jeweller - but the birdcage saw just made it several orders of magnitude more enjoyable and satisfying. My non-jeweller friends do think I'm stone-cold crazy to spend that much on one (in their eyes) rather unassuming tool but what do they know? Nothin', that's what!
I currently do all of my woodworking on a 3'x5' balcony, with as much flat pack workspace as I can. I am seriously looking forward to you putting out a small workspace series, even if it's more of a TedTalk.
Cool as heck. I'm sure Lee is watching and enjoying all of this ! The first RT saw I made from scratch was sort of like that, and was good until Lee's old saw guide, and the prototype motor saw he made that I still use. This is amazing !!!
I have an RBI Hawk fret saw that is modeled after many of the concepts but is motorized. What a good looking tool displayed in this context. I am also wowed and blown away! Touché!
Amazing saws, firstly! But secondly, I love the back-and-forth of each man wanting the saws in their hands :) "NO, I want to hold this magnificent object!"
I don't think I will ever have a need for a Marquetry Saw but I want one just to stare at it longingly and show it off to people. LOL What a beautiful piece of engineering.
We now demand that Adam show tiny shops around the country, he can start here in surprise, AZ at my house and my work shop we help transform from a 30 municipality fleet to a shop for parks and recreation maintenance. We build all sorts of things that would “make” Adam happy look forward to seeing everyone here in AZ ! Come on tested
No joke, i used fret saws for years and years. Then saw adams video 10 years ago, bought one and absolutely loved it. Seriously a well made and worth it tool
@jaxistheman1 a fretsaw? Or that massive deep throat (hehe) marquetry saw? Because that saw it used to do precision work, such as cutting out parts used in fancy woodworking inlay work caled marquetry. Or even. Metal inlay work as well. A fretsaw can do similar work, but is also good for cutting out the waste between dovetail joints. It's also used to cut the slots in the neck of guitars that frets are installed into (thus the name). Some call it a jewelers saw (how I best know it from my former trade). We used the. Ofte. To cut small metal parts such as tbe shanks of rings.
I just recently bought one of their Mk.IV fret saws with swivel blade clamps and am really impressed how much better it works than my swiss made Grobet fret saw
I looked at that fancy scroll saw machine with the same awe that Adam did. It really is a WOW! The unfortunate fact is that you still need the artistic talent to go with it. That I do not have. Following a line with a blade is a skill that many lack and as the scrollwork gets smaller, the mistakes and mid course corrections are amplified and it doesn’t take long to make a piece unusable. So, faor the artsy people, here is a product to make the sawing part effortless. For those of us with the hands of a blacksmith, the bestest, elaboratist, expensivist tool won’t overcome our other problem. But from the point of a mechanical wonder, I love what you’ve created. 🥸👍👀✅
Adam, please make the TV show happen to bring maker shops to people's tiny apartments! I know that you don't want the effort associated will filming a show, so I'd be happy to see you provide remote guidance at the beginning and reaction at the end of an episode.
I saw that huge saw at Handworks this summer, and right next to them was a young kid with a large wooden marquetry saw. It was really interesting to see the two side by side. It was Christopher Schwarz from Lost Art Press that he mentioned, right?
Somewhere I have a photograph of my Grandfather as part of a crew building a 2 story house here in Victoria, BC. Now, in modern times we have pre cut 4x8 sheets of plywood and the studs in houses are placed to make it easy to just slap those suckers into place. This photo I have is from the 1920s, or maybe early 30s. They had no power tools or air nailers. Here they were, on ladders running a SINGLE piece of plywood, on the angle from ground to roof line, holding it in place and hammering nails into it. So while you may think no one would do that gingerbread cutting while up a ladder - you may be surprised. It was probably better to put the solid wood in place then cut to reduce the risk of breakage.
Input shaping which compensates for resonations was brought to 3d printing by klipper which was first released in 2016. It's not a bambu labs invention.
If the bench pin is set at a slight angle to make tightly fitting marquetry, then rotating the blade to cut backwards would also invert the tilt angle of the cut. Does the saw have a mechanism for moving one end of the sawblade off the rotational axis to create a consistent tilt for any cutting direction?
I would think you would need to rotate the work piece along with the blade to maintain the angle needed in the work piece but the angle of the saw is fixed
We didn't really get into that, and worse, the bench pin you see in the video isn't the normal one for that saw. The normal one doesn't tilt. But it somehow didn't get loaded when I packed the truck. So I winged it with the pin we did have. The way the marquetry saw normally does angles is that the entire guide tower tilts, rather than the bench pin. (There's a protractor built into the pivot mechanism.) There is also a system to lock the blade swivels into 'straight-ahead' mode when cutting like that. Because you're correct: if the saw's tilted, and you try to cut in a direction other than perpendicular to the tilt, your angles will get fouled up.
@@KnewConcepts a foot pedal that would actuate the saw blade like an old foot powered sewing machine would probably be popular too. Awesome tools, keep on being awesome
"what lunatic...?" we tend to underestimate the strength, skill and bravery, and overestimate safety expectations of folks that did that sort of work 120 years ago...
"Happy people fixing stuff" It's probably the exact opposite of network television reality shows. There's probably a Netflix comedy special for Adam and Brian in here too
People saying the chain drive cast iron coping saw has an answer: have never actually used it. If it was useful, there would be more of them around. The fact there aren't more examples shows the people at the time it was made saw no need for it. If Christopher Schwarz couldn't find a reason to have one, it is just a curiosity from the past. It is a tool shaped object.
I use a coping saw quite a bit in my hobby crafting, and yea you can spin your hand but at some point you need to spin the blade, I guess the old saw would be convenient for gingerbread molding, but I bet it cost a pile of money and it looks silly heavy
I feel like the one made in the 1800s spins so you can cut straight down even if there is something in the way above it. ??? Maybe if there isn't enough clearance, you can turn it to the side and still cut.
Of course it is a good thing to have a saw with a narrow blade that can be turned relative to the frame that it is mounted in. I have two old classic Scandinavian? wooden frame saws, one with a normal, one with a narrow blade. These were from my old school which closed years ago, here in Denmark everyone has - or at least used to have - "sloyd", that is basic woodworking and crafts. Although the blades do not turn freely, the can be fixed at sny angle to the frame. However, I have also used a fret saw with a non-directional blade, which is a blade that has a stretched spiral twist, so it removes material no matter which way you move the work piece. To me, such a blade seems quite a bit more versatile? Looking at the bead chains for rotating the blade, I had a silly idea that I would love to share: What if, instead of spherical beads, you put "edgy" beads on the string? Either actual formed beads, with a suitable design and material, or simply small metal discs that have their edge sharpened towards one side, and then mounted on a string with suitable spacers. I guess it would also be possible to make a flexible fiber string band with an abrasive material glued to it, a kind of "sand string". Instead of using it with an oscillating frame it could even be made into a loop for a band saw. Probably somebody must have invented this already? But I've never seen any devices using it, so maybe not, or is there a disadvantage I have missed? (As I said, it's just a silly idea that just occured, so I haven't thought about it more than ten minutes, max.)
Absolutely crazy to me that there's a viable market for what are essentially $200+ coping saws. Yes, i know fret/jeweler saws are technically different... but $150 different?? How is there a large enough market to support such a thing?
Incorrect about the chained coping saw, yes you can spin your hand but thats only if the frame of the saw can also go around the wood. Try cutting a circle on a 2ft board. The turning of the saw blade enables you to create shapes within the size of the width of the saw without the frame getting in the way
Oh, I'm drooling over that birdcage. I wish I'd have enough use for it to justify the purchase. And the large model. The engineering in there is amazing.
Has anybody thought of a treadle, or electric treadle, mechanism for the vertical movement of the blade/armature? That would be best for bench applications. I was watching this thing move. And the first thing I thought of was a foot-powered treadle sewing machine(used to have/use one).
I would lose my mind over that show. “Makerspace-Over” “TinyLab” “My significant other is going to kill me if I make the kitchen smell like solvents for a month again HELP!”
IF an intended use was to cut gingerbread patterns in fascia boards while up on a ladder (or even if designed to do it on a bench in a shop); then being able to rotate the blade within the frame would reduce the interference between the frame and the board.
I found that it took years of practice to get a good "stroke" when sawing that you can control and repeat. The ability to turn the blade is better than turning your wrist. It is possible to make a cut with your arm in contortions, but it's not much fun. Ask a baseball pitcher to throw a fast ball with his wrist turned around like a pretzel. Sure you can do it, but you probably don't want to.
I like the big expensive thing I have no possible need for alot. It seams theoretical that you make a Kiocera 2,000 degree oven and an array of 50 Kiocera blade run across taffy tungsten knitting spool, because if you concieve of like 500 spools, you'd crapping out spandex / rayon / polyestyer by the minute. Then it needs a motor, so its so lazy you have your phone see if your sleeping.
A little bit of feedback. These are some awesome pieces, something that really deserve a good long look, but the way the presenter, Adam, and the camera operator are constantly moving around its hard to get a good look at them. Its hard to see when they are talking about like "these rivets here" but then you don't really show them. Some good B roll, or a close up would have been really nice. In fact, I think a lot of it is the camera operator has too much fast movement and swinging around, combined with youtubes compression makes it hard to see anything.

Hate to say but the vintage saw makes total sense and is rather clever
At first glance it look overly complicated. But it works so flawlessly. How beautiful it is
As a woodworker, I may be able to stand up for a while 8). Love that saw!
Now add a computer controlled x-y platform so you can exactly reproduce identical cuts 🙂
could just trace it and call it a day lol
I'd love to see a dust shroud over the linear rail section
There was a pattern template that was followed!
Timing belt also need to be quit stiff to reduce the chance of slipping.

Like a train bridge. It's the strength that matters.
