So it turns out that the panels for my TV Lift cabinet are just slightly too big to be resawn on my band saw. I’ve been wanting to build the Roubo Frame saw for just such jobs soI built the 36″ version.
I was able to cut the Dovetailed Bridal Joint with my hand saw.
The I laid out the handles
Duplicate lay out for both handles.
Once I traced the dovetails onto the handles, I chopped them out with a chisel.
After cutting out the ends with my bandsaw. I shaped the ends.
Finished saw.
Walnut and Cherry Frame Saw.
For a how to on building the saw, check out Shannon Roger’s Handtool School Semester 4. Here’s Shannon using his 48″ saw. I’ll do some photos of my resaw practise and final panel resaw next.
Pre-Toothed Blades: Blackburn Tools is now making blades with teeth already punched in a variety of widths and lengths.

Marilyn, your fearlessness impresses. Can’t wait to see pix of this saw in action.
Nice work. May want to practice before kerfing your tv panels 🙂
Marilyn,
That is really cool and looks fantastic. You did a great job. I’m guessing that it’s not going to fit in your saw till though.

LOL! Nope! But I do have a spot to hang it. 🙂 Thanks so much!
Nice job on the saw! They are fun to use.
I love seeing these saws popping up everywhere. It is life changing! Looks beautiful Marilyn. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts as you get more time on the saw.
Thanks all!! I LIKE IT! 😀
