No Room For Your Hand Saws? Make One Of These

My collection of Japanese saws is growing, and today I'm going to make a saw holder that uses gravity to lock the blades in place.
In this DIY carpentry project I will be using scrap wood, plywood and plexiglass.
Simple to make, it's a pretty nifty and useful gadget, much better than the magnetic one I had before.
This woodworking project is very simple and can be done with a few hand tools, some water based dye and some linseed oil for the finish.
What do you think about it?

I am very satisfied with the design of this practical saw holder.
Leave me a comment on what you think if you enjoyed the video. Thanks for your time and support for the channel.

Fabulous! This is perfect.

[@LTMS]

Thanks for your appreciation, I'm glad to hear it.

And your cat is definitely an active member of your crew unlike Buddy who hardly opens his eyes, amazing collection and you made a perfect place for it. And big admiration of the fact that that table was not stained ha ha

[@LTMS]

The table gets stained every time, but I use water-based dyes and a wet rag is enough to clean the melamine.
With Bombo the problem is NOT to have him in the frame, you can't imagine how many shots I have to discard, he is always very interested in my projects. 🙂
Thanks for passing by, I hope everything goes well.

@@LTMS ha ha - now I know I am not the only one that is messy. I have my little pup completely uninteresting in my work so I am not sure what is better - Bombo is even trying to clean your stuff in the water fun times!!

Beautiful filmmaking as well as a beautiful saw holder.

Very cool idea , good wood work 🤗👏👍 . You are very talented.

[@LTMS]

Thanks a lot, glad to hear that. 🙂

[@Sajeela74]

Wow!!! Che bell’idea! Mi è piaciuto molto l’effetto del racconto dal punto di vista della sega! 😄😄

[@LTMS]

Grazie molte, cerco di cominciare i video in modo che non siano banali

[@JuanRivera-wm2um]

Cool item.

[@LTMS]

Unlike other racks, this one requires no modification if you change your handsaws set.
Thanks for your thoughts.

[@albertopozzallo3112]

Grande idea!! Bravo bravo...

Great ideea, the perfect gift to make for my dad :D

[@LTMS]

I am glad to have given you an idea for a gift, you will see that he will appreciate it very much, as I did.

[@soledude]

👌👌👌

[@LTMS]

Thank you

[@luismalagueno6253]

interesting sistem for organize your tools. Thanks for show this :)

[@LTMS]

Thank you for your appreciation.
I think that this system it's more practical and efficient than the magnetic holder.

[@teacheme]

Brilliant idea. Going to make one ASAP. Any chance of posting the dimensions?

[@LTMS]

Thanks for your thoughts, I appreciate very much.
Size is not that important, I adapted to the scrap wood I had and used a curtain rod for the cylinders.
Anyway the dimensions are 5 x 12 x 2.5 cm and 4 cm thick for the main support, the cylinders have a diameter of 3.5 cm and are 3.9 cm long (I have left 1 mm of play), the plexiglass is 6 x 10 cm

[@teacheme]

@@LTMS Thanks for that. Much appreciated.

[@LTMS]

@@teacheme I'm glad I can help

[@JawellNofine]

Brilliant idea. What is the angle of the wedges 30 degrees?

[@LTMS]

it's about 25 degrees, but it doesn't really matter, I think any angle between 15 and 40 does the job equally.
Thank you for your time and for your thoughts.

[@Austeration]

Very nicely done 👍 that should keep you out of trouble until you buy another one. Fantastic job, thanks for sharing.

[@LTMS]

Thanks a lot, actually I have 2 slots free, because one of them needs a restoration but it will be a transfrormation in something else (video already planned) 😉

[@Austeration]

@@LTMS nothing like thinking ahead. Cool, can't wait to see it.

[@stephencrouch8911]

one of these*** but really nice work tho brotha

[@LTMS]

Thank you :)

[@srairmand]

My dowels won't grab the saws for some reason. They fall out.

[@LTMS]

It seems really strange to me, the only place where this system doesn't work is in space because there is no gravity.
The seat of the dowel must have a vertical side and one with a slight inclination (about 15/20 degrees), it's the only thing I can think of that can prevent it from working properly.

[@cal45lover]

Might be your dowels are too hard, a softer wood would likely get a better 'grip' on the smooth sawblade than a hard wood.

[@davidcchambers]

I have seen other implementations of this design where the dowel is wrapped in a layer of black electrical tape to provide added friction.

[@ErickvdK]

Try putting some bicycle innertube on them for grip😊

[@arkadiydubovoy9796]

I made similar Japanese saw storage rack using small toy rubber bouncy balls instead of dowels, try that, works really well

[@hugereductions]

What are the angles please?
Many thanks.

[@LTMS]

I made them at an angle of about 15 degrees, but it doesn't really matter, between 10° and 45° is fine.
