And why didn't I think of that!?!?!😋 Great vid! Definitely goin' t'make this!

Thanks for the great video and for making the plans available.

I have been converting peg board to French cleats. After seeing many large saw tills, I bumped into your video. What a great idea. I built an 8-saw holder in about 2 hours using scrap wood. It works great. I'm going to make a second for additional saws. My larger saws can hang high on the wall because I can reach the handles, and the smaller saws (and more frequently used) will be lower. For those that ask, I used 22.5 degrees for the angle of the blocks and a 1" pine dowel for the rollers. Thanks Alan.

Well I’ll be gosh darned. Had me in suspense till the last ten seconds.

Great Saw Holder! I love how simple and elegant this design is Alan. The simple machine aspect really adds to the "neat factor" too, thanks for sharing this!

One of the coolest shop projects I've ever seen.Now I'll have one.Thanks for sharing!

Really nice idea. I built one for my smaller saws (dovetail, flush cut, razor saw, etc) that holds 8 saws. I also wanted to leave the little plastic teeth protectors on the saw when I hang the saws up in the holder. The problem I had was that the 3/4" wood dowels would not hold the saw robustly in the rack and I was concerned they might fall out. My solution was to reduce the dowel size to 1/2" diameter and then slip fit a 7/16" ID x 3/4" OD grommet (mine actually came from a harbor freight $4 set of grommets. This works flawlessly and hold the saws very well due to the increased friction. They can also pivot slightly to allow the plastic teeth protectors to remain on the blade. Hope this helps anyone else who wants increased friction hold.

First - that's the best system/design on youtube. Plus - I learned some reallly sensible techniques and tool use. And - proving once again - look for the short videos. Instead of committing another 20 minutes of my life to watching someone more interested in talking about themselves, you gave all the detail need really concisely - assuming, correctly, that anyone who is looking for guidance already has a base skill level. so not just the speed up - good teacher & real video skills, Thanks. and nice dogs btw.

Show!!! Very good!

I watched this a few weeks ago and for whatever reason, YT thought I should watch it again. And I will when I get the time to implement it with some size modifications. It would work great to hold chisels and a smaller one mounted on the inside of a kitchen cabinet would be great for knives. If you are concerned about the wooden cylinders holding, cut them 1/8"-1/4" smaller in diameter and spray with liquid rubber.

Nice!! Thanks for posting this video.

Excellent video and superb video editing. Keep up the good work. Also thank you for sharing your knowledge and the plans to build.

Excellent solution, Alan! I've been contemplating a change from my old saw till and this looks like the answer. Thanks for sharing and looking forward to more of your fresh approach to things. Now, let's round out that Subscription number ; > ) Rich

I made this with off cuts and bits of dowel left over from another job. Instead of dowel, you could probably use pieces of PVC tubing. The only measurement I took trouble with was the spacing between the saws. They had to be far enough apart so I could reach between them, but close enough to make a compact unit.

Great video, at first I was under the impression of you using magnets to hold them upright.

No, just gravity and pinch rollers

I wonder, would this work in the kitchen for knives or would they be too light to engage the roller?

@AlansWoodworking

It would work well. The important thing is not how heavy the saw, but that the weight hangs directly beneath the roller

Hi there - I'm about to retire and go into a woodwork hobby. Busy getting my life sorted and making ju=igs etc. The dowels _ are they efficient to hold saws etc or are kids rubber bouncy jet balls better?

@AlansWoodworking

Жыл бұрын

Hi. The dowels work for me without problems and I think they would be cheaper to install. They can get a bit chewed if you put the teeth in rather than the spine, put they're cheap to replace. Something i would do differently is to place a strip of wood the same thickness as the rack below the rack to stop wider saws from swinging towards the wall and potentially pulling out. Have Fun!

Great idea!! Thanks! Machine noise is good but a small amount of commentary would have been better..

what is the angle of the slope for the rollers?

@AlansWoodworking

6 жыл бұрын

The angle is about 15 deg from vertical. It will work with any angle less than 45 deg, but the steeper the incline, the better

Careful at 3:08 - look at that fence deflect. At least 1/4".

Nothing so far. Once the rollers grab, the only way the saw can come out is if you lift it straight up.

I just built this, and for some reason it's not holding the saws properly. The dowels aren't pinching the saws at all, and they flop to the floor and laugh at me. I'm not sure what I did incorrectly, except by converting to imperial rather than metric. Maybe my cuts weren't straight or my dowels aren't big enough? I did see in another video where a guy used childrens rubber bounce balls instead of dowels, so I'm gonna try that I guess? **EDIT** I eventually found a pack of rubber bounce balls and cut several in half. This slight change in the project worked flawlessly and I use it to this day.

I'm sorry to hear it hasn't worked out. You could try different sized dowel, or wrap some electricians tape around the dowels to see if they grab better. If that doesn't work the sloping side of the slot may not be steep enough to keep in contact with the saw when you put it in. Good luck.

Ingenious design! Im just wondering how secure your saws have been in actual usage. Does dust affect their holding power?

Neat idea, but I'm not thrilled about all those saw teeth pointing towards my fleshy parts.

You can turn the saws the other way, but the teeth will eventually chew up the rollers

Well, if the wall's still standing, it should be ok.

They're still taking up a lot of space. The best way to store saws is flat, in a cubby or on hooks under a shelf your already using for something else. Takes up almost no room and you can tell which saw it is by the handle.

Are you hanging your saws with the teeth pointed towards you?

@AlansWoodworking

It actually depends on the saw. The tenon saw has a thick rigid back and will only fit teeth in. The japanese saw is double edged, so it will always go teeth in. I try each saw to work out the easiest way to sit them.

The idea may be great, but the high speed is terrible.

I dont understand a thing how the funktion works. Why not start the video by SLOWLY showing how the saws fly in the air and briefly explain the different steps how to get to the end product. -First we do this, then we do this and glue part#1 onto part#3 etc. Im sure the idea is great (lt looks smart), but to me the video is unpedagogically constructed.

Idea was really very good, the video presentation wasn’t enjoyable, could have been much shorter

Nice
