FILER GUIDE FOR HAND-SAWS

[Mikhandmaker]

Mikhandmaker,

I've been a sub on your channel for quite a while now and enjoy everyone of your fine builds and videos. The quality of your videography is in my top 5 out there, simple, elegant music, perfect shot selection, lighting and length. Superb and hopefully inspirational to others. The shadow of the saw on this one was a beautiful nuance.

You are imho a true craftsman and a pleasure to have you as part of the HMT community. Using hand methods and simple tools to create functional works of beauty are being lost...again imho. I particularly liked your use of geometry in this one to lay out your parts and passing on that simple technique that can be used in everyday life of a maker/craftsman, is Most admirable. Years ago when I taught board drafting and ACAD (early days of) I found it to be effective in teaching the CAD students how to achieve complex shapes using that simple skill. My favorite was to have the board students draw a 4 bladed fan with compound tangential curves with only a compass and ruler. Once they got to CAD it was a no brain'er using the same simple geometry with faster tools.

Thank you for what you bring!!

Thank you PJ for your comment, I know that many times the things I make would be done faster with power tools, however, for me it is more enriching to make them with hand tools, I enjoy every second doing so. I'm very happy of being part of this HMT community and of receiving so kind feedbacks!!
