I’m interested in the roubo style frame saw as I’m very impressed with the speed of the resaw process using them. I’m interested in 12 – 14″ re sawing and can’t decide between the Blackburn 36″ or 48″. My utube research indicates the 48″ with a 4″ wide blade is a beast and is very fast and aggressive but the 36″ saw is easier to control. Any thoughts or experience would be appreciated
Here is a link to a Renaissance Woodworking video that I found very informative.
I’m not sure if the frame saw used is a Roubo but think you will get a bit out of the video.
Hope it helps.

Hi
I was just wondering how you got on with this? Did you ever make the saw and if so which one did you choose and what has been your experience.
I pretty set on making the 48″ version using the hardware and blade from Blackburn tools. The only thing making me think twice is the price. Here in the U.K. the only options I can see ar either to order direct from the USA which takes a long time or from fine-tools in Germany which should be quicker but is more expensive. The Cost from fine-tools is currently 249 euros plus 12 euros shipping to the uk.
Does anyone have any other ideas about where to source this kit?
In case anyone else is interested there is another renaissance woodworker video which does an in-depth look at resawing by hand using the Blackburn tools roubo kit.
Cheers
Bill
