Tommy is a national treasure.

I came to learn about saws, instead, I left with a vast knowledge of sars.

If cutting a bolt or threaded rod, put a nut on it first, then make your cut, then remove the nut. As you back the nut back off of the bolt, it will straighten out the threads.

At 3:31 you don't want to use the saw and cut towards you. Make sure you clamp down anything you are cutting and keep your hands away from the blade.

were not elementary school kids anymore, the whole "dont cut towards yourself" was meant for kids that dont have control over their own body yet but if your competent, you have way more control. in that case there was almost no danger of him cutting himself, even though it was a really weird and awkward technique just for quick demonstration purposes but if you ever used a paring knife, thats nothing but cutting towards yourself lol

thank you mr. silva for sharing thoughts about saws.... ive learned alot.

Great vid! Good thing about using a handsaw for drywall is that you can feel a restriction like a wire or pipe. Seen to many mistakes using sawsall

One point I seldom see mentioned about using saws is that the push and the pull strokes require different pressures on the blade. With a western saw, one leans into the push stroke, the productive stroke so that the teeth have a firm pressure against the cut. On the pull stroke, on the non-productive stroke the pressure is lessened so that the teeth ride back gently over the cut. Once mastered, this technique 1) helps keep saw teeth sharper longer by not rounding the tips, 2) helps keep the cut straighter, less "wonky", by reducing blade vibration and, ultimately, 3) reduces demand on sawyer's energy by making half the strokes less work. Faster, cleaner, easier.

And all this time I used my pull saw as a spatula for flipping burgers.

I had never seen the jab saw or those cut-flush saws before. Pretty clever tools.

I love hand sawrs.

Most of those cuts can do with reciprocating saw using different blades for each task which is more convenient to buy one power tool and few blade instead loads of hand tools.

Your index finger down the side of the handle helps to keep your shoulder/arm in line with your cut.

Wow, nice thanks for the tips

when cutting in an electrical box with a jab saw, just spin the tip of the jab saw in the corner to 'drill' a starting hole. you can bust up the wall hammering the saw through.

John McIntyre that’s why my personal favourite tool for this is an oscillating saw. So easy to control the plunge depth.

it would be a good ideal when you saw to keep your hands clear from the blade, one slip and your not going to like what happens.

I must be choosing wisely. Every saw I own easily cuts my hands.

Japanese pullsaws are not resharpened because the these have a complex geometry and they are very hard; the blades are replaced. These days, I use the pullsaws almost exclusively - less effort and easier to follow a line.

@showpro1178

He was using an Irwin Japanese-style pull saw. On that particular model, the finer, cross-cut teeth are impulse-hardened, and because of that would be very difficult to sharpen. IIRC, the teeth on the other edge are for rip cuts, but are NOT impulse-hardened. Hope this helps.

Pye tools very good & Tom also good

and most important is to not waste your money on a cheaply made saw ! I know its WRONG but I always install my hack saw blades backwards = it works great for me

Is it me or anytime I do the shoulder to arm straightness trick or try to get a strait cut at all even on metal it’s always off but on a band saw eye ball it’s dead on 😂🤣

A back saw has a stiffening rib along the back of the saw blade. That is a Ryoba with teeth along both edges. A Dozuki would be a Japanese back saw (also cutting on the pull stroke).

@BobBlarneystone

I believe that Mr. Silva misspoke when he called the Japanese style saw a backsaw; it is as Orxenhorf said. By the way, I definitely prefer a pull saw with single cutting edge- there's much less chance of nicking a hand or finger.
