On today’s show, I discuss holding small stock for plowing grooves, long planes with narrow irons, frame saw vs. bandsaw for resawing, flattening wooden hand planes, and hand saws for sawing curves.

Main Topic
Today’s main topic was inspired by a question from Patron John Baird and is a discussion on hand saws for cutting curves. Here are the links to the blades and saws I referred to in the discussion.

Hi, Bob,
I just wanted to point out that Highland Woodworking in Atlanta, GA has a few frame saw offerings. They also sell a Japanese style blade, called the Turbo-Cut, for use in traditional frame saws. One being more suited for cutting curves at 5/16” wide. You can’t find it here: https://www.highlandwoodworking.com/narrowturbo-cutbladeforclassic400framesaw.aspx
Thanks for all you do,
Gene
