Building a frame saw
Building a frame saw
Under the guidance of renowned craftsman, lecturer, author and blogger Chris Schwarz, a highly versatile and functional cutting tool was created within two days - the frame saw.
Equipped with a good saw blade, this type of saw can be used to make complicated cuts that are no longer possible with electric hand saws due to the increased risk potential. Traditionally, woodworkers made their frame saws themselves. This was also the case for the participants on this course, who were able to take home a perfectly customised frame saw in addition to the skills they had learnt.
What course participants say
"Great course instructor! A craftsman with a passion."
"The DICTUM staff are competent and friendly."
