So, the key is to start with a scrap of wood that is already square. Very good idea!!

Applying wax to the saw and the face of the guide prevents friction and makes cutting easier. Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us.

Thanks, I think I've had more success with spray lubricant in the past. I might've also tried Vaseline. The problem with wax is that it's too hard and can rub off or not stick to the steel somtimes.

Try a different wax. I have an old can of "Johnson's" paste wax, and find it to be very adhesive to iron, steel and aluminium bench tool tables, which helps to slide the wood better. It has some "Carnauba" wax content, and was meant to be applied to wooden floors, intending to make the floor not too slippery, to help prevent people falling.

It's not a hacksaw, it's a Japanese saw. They are kind of expensive but I won mine in an (my first) Instructables prize but they cost about $20. The teeth are just incredibly razor sharp, you can cut through hardwood crazy fast. But you don't need one if you have a jigsaw with the homemade crosscut sled :) I wish I could make it work for a hacksaw but I'm not sure, do you have any ideas? Because it's really hard to cut through metal/steel straight

It doesn't really matter which hacksaw it is. What matters is the number of teeth per inch (tpi), the more tpi, the finer the cut quality but the more time it takes to cut. My small hacksaw accepts small blades which are thinner than the blades you can buy for larger hacksaws so it cuts a bit faster but it doesn't really matter. And it you cut really fast it creates so much friction you can smell the wood burning! :)

that was an interesting clamping method... I have a ratchet strap for these kind of things. a little complicated, but a nice pressure. also- was that an "alte-zachen" in the beginning? LOL... neat project, liked the idea. I will build one when I get the chance. thanks!

Yonatan! Thank you for replying! I'm sorry my reply is late. First, do you live in the U.S.? Second, was this project fast and easy? Or did it take a few hours? I want to pay for the supplies and your time, however, I also asked myself what would be the maximum I would pay for such a tool at a hardware store and it's $20. Which I'm not sure is a fair price at all since you did such a fine job making it. It is "handcrafted" and on top of that, I like you, so I would gladly pay a premium price. Which then makes me realize a purchase may be inappropriate at this time as I don't even have a woodworking bench or vice set up right now. Also, going snowboarding very soon so I'm in save mode right now. Please let me know what you think, I promise I will respond much sooner. Thanks again for everything! You are great.

@Yonatan24

That's pretty much what I was thinking,. The overall cost would be too high to make it worth it for you (cost of materials, my time, shipping, etc) considering the parts for making the guide yourself could be purchased for only a few dollars (see: kit.com/Yonatan24/how-to-make-a-magnetic-japanese-saw-cutting-guide-what-you-need) and less than 2 hours overall if you work fast, I don't know, I didn't have a video to refer to while making mine ;) Also, imagine the frustration if when you receive the guide, your saw(s) is made of stainless steel and have no attraction whatsoever to the magnets! And also the attraction of different saws because of the thickness of the blade can probably vary, so while my saw attracts moderately, yours might so very hard to use. I would love to make this an actual product that I could sell in the future, but thank you for your interest, more videos coming soon :)

​@@Yonatan24One way to "adjust" the pull from the magnet on the saw blade, would be to place the magnet on a screw, so that the proximity to the blade coukd be varied to adjust the pulling force, but an easire way would just use different Thicknesses of non magnetic slices of plastic sheet over the end of the jig, altering the separation of the blade. Just an idea...

Good idea, but the end of the guide that rubs on the side of the saw needs lubricating somehow. Maybe wax polish? Also, why 3 magnets in the end of the wood guide? Two of them will only attract each other and not the saw?

@Yonatan24

Жыл бұрын

The contact is dry between the wood and saw so there isn't much friction at all. Stacking 3 magnets is stronger than only using 1. I actually intended to use only 2 magnets, but I was unable to separate them. Hope this clears it up :)

Do you think a higher coverage (say two or more magnets) would better help align the saw better?

@Yonatan24

I'm not sure. I actually wanted to use 2 magnets, but couldn't separate them for the life of me. It was a good idea to use 3 though, it works very well.

Great idea! I'd recommend avoiding your metal vise though to not break any saw teeth. I'd clamp it to the bench if possible instead.

Good thinking. Way to use your mind to solve a problem without just buying something expensive. Now, get yourself a good (a good one like an old Stanley or Bailey) handplane at a yard sale or flea market, restore it, sharpen it to the max (sandpaper and a leather strop). Then make a bench hook and a shooting board.

Thanks. I have a useless, old, wooden handle plane. I've tried using it, have bought accessories for using it, but I haven't been able to make it work. I generally don't need pieces of wood to be perfectly square, only to look square, and this has been working great so far!

@SuperLittleTyke

4 жыл бұрын

@@Yonatan24 Ah, but some projects do need to be perfectly square. For example, I have an old IKEA TV table and it hadn't been used for eight years since I swapped my heavy TV for a flatscreen. Each leg is screwed into the underside of the tabletop with a single screw stud in the centre. You just twist the leg and tighten it up against the table. I didn't need the table, but I _did_ need a computer desk! So I replaced the short IKEA legs with much longer ones sawn from a length of 50mm square pine wood. The cut face of each new leg has to be *perfectly* square where it butts up against the tabletop. To make the screw stud I drilled a 6mm dia hole in the centre of the cut face, then drilled with an 8mm drill just a tiny depth into the hole so as to start my screw, then screwed an M8 bolt directly into the wood like a self-tapping woodscrew. Finally, cut off the bolt hex head with a hacksaw so that the remaining stud is the correct length to match the original IKEA one. If that cut end of the new leg isn't perfectly square, it shows when you tighten the leg. You see a small gap on one side and it just looks sloppy and amateurish.

I've learned new clamping method.

@SuperLittleTyke

Ah, clamping! Yes! The instant I read your comment I thought of making a small magnetic clamp to hold components in place while soldering them on a small circuit board. I do have those spring clips mounted with a magnifying glass, but it is sometimes awkward to position them. Obviously, keep the magnet well away from the actual components! The magnet wouldn't need to be very strong, as the parts are typically very lightweight. I'm thinking, maybe cut a piece of 10mm wooden dowel then stick a small circular neodymium magnet on the end face using superglue. Then make another dowel piece, but stick a steel washer on the end. Then pinch the item(s) to be soldered between the dowels. A picture would help.. Maybe later today I'll make a prototype and add a photograph to this comment.

I used a magnet out of an old hard drive. It's not circular, but it works well. Because of its segment shape, I couldn't just drill a hole, so I cut a slot instead just wide enough for the magnet to sit in. Then I glued a piece of 3.5mm plywood over it and trimmed the edges just like in the video. Be cautious if using hard drive magnets! There are two very strong magnets in a typical hard drive and as I was experimenting, the two snapped together, pinching the tip of my finger. No harm done, but just imagine a small screw or nail being inadvertently "sucked" into the body!
