Making a Dovetail Saw

  • In this video I make a dovetail saw from scratch. I used an old cheap saw and filed all the teeth down and made them myself.
    This is also an entry to Toolmake16:
    Link to website article: www.womadeod.co.uk/p/blog-page...
    Launch video for rules: • TOOLMake16 Challenge -...
    The template for the handle and the teeth can be found here:
    www.blackburntools.com/index.html
    At the begining of the video when I'm filling the saw plate flat you can see some deep cuts in the back of the saw. That is because I tried using the Paul Sellers method to cut the teeth but the saw plate is too hard to cut using a hacksaw.
    I used two pieces of 3mm thick brass and I filed a groove in them so that they would sandwich the plate and be flush at the top. The scraper that you see in the video is the one I made really quickly using a piece of carbide that I was able to bevel roughly using an angle grinder with a diamond wheel.
    The saw plate was so hard that I had to use carbide masonry drill bit to drill through it.
    The wood for the handle is oak.
    Thanks for watching and please like, comment, subscribe and share.

    So cool! Not too many people can say that they built their own dovetail saw.

    Fantastic piece of work. I hope that generations to come will treasure it as being hand made by one of their forefathers.

    ...ok, now I see how important you steel workers are (231 gang) for us wood working folks, anyway, nice again, I never thought I could enjoy something like this after getting a steel sliver back in middle school. LOL, thanks for making a nice video to go with the nice work-man-ship. I learned all my wood working skills from a German, so the little I do know, I know well and obviously you know your craft very well, so thanks for sharing. .. ... .. ... .

    I think what I like most about your videos is the aspect of progression - seeing you make new tools by using tools you've already made. I'm sure that given time, your workshop will be filled entirely with tools that you've made yourself. Great work.

    Going from a piece of flat metal to a dovetail saw by hand as to where I'd just go buy one (A) Show you have passion about the craft,and (B) will be the difference in me being a woodworker,and you being a Great woodworker. Cool video I'm looking forward to seeing what you make next.

    what did you use for the blade what kind of metal or where did you get it ? Nice work by the way I watched some of your videos and it is easy to build stuff when you have all the fancy toool but you build things basicly with your hands reespect

      trapper8015 you can use 1095 spring steel about .015 thick for a dovetail saw.

    dude, this is so beyond cool! did you set the teeth in a specific pattern for ripping?

    • @Garageworkshop
      @Garageworkshop  8 лет назад

      I filed them for ripping, but since the saw plate is so thin, I didn't even set the teeth and the saw doesn't bind in the cut. Thanks for watching!

  • @Twansaxstudent11190
    @Twansaxstudent11190 8 лет назад

    That is awesome! Was that a thinner plate than on most dovetail saws? It looks like it gives you a really thin kerf. I've always been torn between western and eastern saws, because I like the push action/pistol grip of western saws, but I love the thin kerf of eastern saws. Regardless, that is a beautiful tool and looks like it performs beautifully!

      @@Garageworkshop find a donor saw for hardware. I find old hand saws for about $3 a piece fairly often. They each have 4 or 5 saw nuts in them. I plan on chopping one up eventually to make a backsaw of some sort out of it. I must have a dozen of the things now.
