To give you a better understanding of what one is here is a couple of pics, you get make one from Tom’s book or you can order one from him directly and he’ll make it for you. Also a framing saw is what they used in the past you’ll see one mentioned in Moxon’s book, I believe it is better than using a handsaw because you have more control of the cut. It also acts just like a bandsaw with the blade being horizontal rather than vertical on a bandsaw. The cut is also cleaner. The blade thickness has nothing to do with it since the handsaw’s blade isn’t any thicker nor thinner. It’s also designed for a two man operation but one person can comfortably use it. I haven’t tried this myself so really I shouldn’t make a comment either way which ever you go it’s a slow operation.
Here is a video of Tom using the framing saw just fast forward 3/4 of the video to see it in action. lol fast forward hows that for growing up in the 70’s.
