How to make a bamboo pear picker - GIF

Interesting to me that he uses a western push-type saw rather than a Japanese pull-type saw.

The writing on the screen looks like Chinese, not Japanese.

He makes some plunge cuts with the saw. That would be difficult to do with a pull saw.

He also uses a push plane at the beginning of the video. I think Japanese planes are pull planes, as evidenced by this video...
