D.I.Y. bucksaw
Have thought about buying, or making, a bucksaw for a couple weeks now. Given the cost of some, the looks of others, and the examples others have made, I decided to have a go.
This is what I have done so far. Needs a little more finishing work to make it prettier, but it works, and doesn't look too bad.
The materials:
1 x 21" bow saw blade £6.99 (Bahco)
51" of 2x1 PAR pine (free, laying around workshop)
1 x 1" x 1/4" PAR ash (also free)
2 x 1/4" x 1 1/2" bolts
2 x 1/4" wing nuts
2 x washers
49" x camo paracord
The frame components, cut to length...
Brace, tennoned...
The basic frame together (sorry, forgot to take a photo of the mortices in the stiles)...
Blade in, cord tightened, slight shape to stiles...
Next step is to round all corners and dye, wash, or varnish the woodwork.
