Re: Wood saws

I don't know what the flippin' thing is called, you men are just confusing me more with all these names.
It just looks like an ordinary saw but with big teeth, that's all I know.
I can't use it, it's no good at all.

I would take it back but I've shredded the flippin receipt.

Re: Wood saws

I'll try and take a photo tomorrow Nomkins, but me camera's not that good for detail either.
( I shall cry if I don't laugh).



Do you think I need putting down?

Re: Wood saws

Tenon saw.



Hand saw.



Both have small teeth close together and are ideal for small timber jobs.

a little rub around the blade with candle will aid in the sawing, dont force it let the saw do the work.

Re: Wood saws

That's what you need Mups!



...with a man attachment !

Re: Wood saws

It's the same shape as the second one Nom, but with big teeth.

I've just been out to the shed to look at it again and it has got just 7 & half teeth to an inch.
I couldn't measure the length of the teeth in inches, so I tried millimetres instead, and the teeth are 5 mm's long - I think. My old saw's were only half as long as that.

Does that make any more sense?

As I said before, no matter how hard I push the darn thing, it won't go forwards, it just breaks long splinters of wood off if I force it.

Re: Wood saws

No but a piccy saves a thousand words.

Both of these cut wood.


Two man band saw.



Pad saw.




Sounds like yours would be useful on branches etc.

Re: Wood saws

Ooh don't Tess, I've got enough troubles as it is.

I get so cross and frustrated when something that should be simple - isn't!
You wouldn't have thought me a lady at all if you'd have heard me cursing this afternoon in the garden.

Re: Wood saws

A few years ago I thought one of those electric Scorpion saws was the answer!
Nearly sawed me leg off, gave it away, it was safer

Re: Wood saws

Please dont use this again you could do yourself some harm, i will leave the tooth sizes and type to the joiners among us, tis along time since i was art school and they will advise you better than i.

Anyhow glad to see your tackling things yourself, respect to you, and us blokes can sleep safer at night.

Re: Wood saws
