New "free" saw blade

Post by ChrisNeilan »

Just watched a video on making your own saw blade. Figured some members here would like to try. Looks easy!

I've had enough paper cuts to believe this would be mighty painful if you cut yourself on it.

Fascinating! Neat idea! Might come in handy sometime when a real thin kerf is needed.

Thanks!

I'm thinking of a repair - or to saw a drawer front from a cabinet in order to have perfectly matching grain and color.

Here's a drawer done that way, but it would have been cooler with a thinner kerf.
