Resawing by Hand Doesn’t Have to Be Slow

4 years ago I built a frame saw based on the famous plate by Andre Roubo. Since then every project has been a guilty pleasure to find boards I can resaw and use. Building and learning to use one of these monster frame saws has really changed my woodworking and the way that I choose lumber for my projects. So in addition to this live session, I have pulled a lesson from the Hand Tool School vault and am offering it for sale individually.

More Resawing?

I briefly touched on resawing with a regular hand saw and then why the frame saw is the better option. I mentioned several project videos where I used resawing to complete it, both with and without the frame saw. Here are those posts.

A very enjoyable episode I would not have thought that the saw would work as well as it does . I remember from somewhere that for the best results you should have a certain number of teeth in contact with the wood for example a 3 tooth per inch saw in a 4 inch wide cut would not work well but obviously it does so is there any guideline also it makes sense that the feel of the saw would tell you if it is dull but as a machinist I would look at the chips as an indicator also I know it is not the same but is there any similarities Thanks Bob
