Here I recognize the good sensations of build something by myself without nothing more that a piece of timber and small bunch of tools. Not screws, nor power tools, only my hands and my perseverance to build something useful. Make something for others who I love it’s the essential thing. Here is my soul. No more, no less.
Good to know about it, @David,

One advantage of hand woodworking method is that you can listen classical music into background while you are working wood. Well, this is my personal taste, you can listen rock&roll, but if you are really nostalgic you can plug a power router to remember the screams of your old woodworking methods 😉

@Ken, the real expert on the subject is Bob Easton, who in this modern days resawed by hand a board of sixteen foot. He documented their feat in his blog:
Obviously, he used a frame saw 😉
I think he is member of this forum too.

Hi @Brandon, really it’s a mixture of tool condition and technique.
You can use a regular panel saw to do this work but, definitely, for a wide cut like this, you need a large and sharpen rip saw with a configuration of 4 to 7 TPI and the appropriate set. I recommend use a marking gauge to set the path of the saw around the plank to cut. This is not a really difficult work but something tedious. Remember, this was done over centuries by our ancestors who obviously had no band saws.
Personally, I use frame saws for this kind of work for various reasons: mine is lightweight, so i’m just less tired, second, my cuts tend to be next to perfect to the line, and finally, if the work needs it, another person can help me pushing from the another side of the saw. But this is only my personal preference.
TIP: Greasing o waxing the saw plate during the process will facilitate the job.
TIP2: When the saw blade sinks into the cut, put a pair of small wedges on the kerf to prevent the saw runs aground inside the board.Best regards from Catalonia,

Another method, much more traditional and ideal for practice of the hand tool techniques and get away from industry, is fill the back side of cupboards or bookcases with natural wood strips with a special joint, named “shiplap joint”. It’s very decorative and delicate and enhances absolutely your piece of furniture.
Anyway, for the bottom of your drawers, plywood is perhaps the most practical solution.

You must be logged in to view attached files.This is my technique for resawing thin boards from a chunck of wood using a frame saw (republished here in this format only for clarity):
First, set your marking gauge slightly more than your desired size (10 millimiters in this case)…

Using a frame sawNow saw vertically until you reach about the half of your block of wood. Then flip it and start from the oposite corner. Happily the two lines will meet…

Your thin panel cutI build this small frame saw two years ago based on an engraved of “L’Art du Menuisier” of Andre Roubo. Here you can see the artifact disassembled showing its parts. Very simple construction, very effective, and only costs me five bucks by the wide saw hack blade, the long carriage bolt and two small pins…

Hi and welcome aboard @David,
We discussed this issue about two months ago in this forum. These are the threads:

Hi @jay,
An important point is not “bulldoging” the plane. Take it gently and retract the blade more shallowly to take fine shavings. Also check your level ajustment to take the same amount of wood from side to side. This is, perhaps, the most dificult ajustment. At some point you will get the “revelation”. I hope this helps you.
