Making and Using Western Handsaws
| Instructor: Kevin Glen-Drake July 30th – August 3rd, 9am – 4pm |
Level: All Levels Welcome Cost: $850 Materials: $70 |
In this class Kevin Glen-Drake will guide you through the saw-making process. Using the materials provided, you will make a saw-vise and two western carcass saws, one rip and one crosscut. Saw geometry and long-term saw maintenance will be emphasized. You will not only learn how to set and sharpen a saw, but you will also learn how to shape the teeth for the job at hand. The skills you will carry away from this class will enable you to maintain your saws the same way you maintain your planes and chisels to keep them sharp and effective.
