  1. Very useful tool, great instructional video as all of your videos are. Thank you Paul and associates for sharing. Always nice to watch and learn from real craftsmen.
    Merry Christmas and best wishes for a peaceful and productive New Year

  2. Any suggestions on where to look for a similar blade (with considerable depth)? I can easily get/modify a bandsaw blade for the thinner blade, but the deeper blade is more like what I want.

    Thanks in advance.

    1. Hi Bill,

      Paul says:

      It didn’t replace it on the continent of Europe for instance, they continue to use frame saws even through to modern times. The back saw was an English invention, copied by other countries including Scotland and America. Here in the UK frame saws were often for turning work to create curves, and though we did have frame saws, the tenon saw was favoured by at least 2 centuries of furniture makers.

      Kind Regards,
      Izzy
