The Japanese saws demonstrated in this video are the Dozuki Saw and the Ryoba Saw both available from The Japan Woodworker. Note: some of these saws are professional grade and can be rather pricey.

It has a rigid metal spline on the back to keep the blade from buckling. The Dozuki also features very fine teeth, ideal for smooth cuts across the grain. • The handles on Japanese saws are straight and wrapped with rattan for a secure grip. Probably the most unique feature of these saws is that they cut as you pull them toward you. So little pressure is required that it's possible to grip the saw with your fingers only and still cut. • The cutting technique is a bit different with Japanese saws too. With this dovetail or tenon saw, I begin my cut on the closest edge of the board, then as I saw, tip the blade into a more horizontal position as I work my way to the opposite edge. When the blade I'm using becomes dull, I simply detach it from the handle and replace it with a new one. • Home Improvement Online With Ron Hazelton • • With over 500 hundred free DIY ideas, tips, how-to's, suggestions, and video tutorials available to help you turn your home improvement plans into finished projects.
