excellent !! just followed your course and went and sharpened my saw bench cuts like new..Thanks Andy
Thnaks for your appreciation, all the best with your blade sharpening.
Wow, thanks so much. Been wondering how to sharpen my Buzz saw. Great video
Hi. A succinct comment, as you can see from the video a clear workspace is vital. Hope you enjoyed the video.
Hi. Yes I am aware of the effect, thanks for your comment. I used a McConnell sliding bench for a number of years but prefer this Ferguson as it holds the log much better, is easier to use, and the log will not roll and so hands are well away from the blade. A big circular saw is almost impossible to guard unless it is fitted in a tunnel, this then reduces the flexibility and turns it into a processor that will only handle prime processing grade firewood. Check out the big racksaw video.
Scary machines, but I think they are more reliable and durable then chainsaws.
I don't wear leather gloves either. My fingers fly off much cleaner!
thanks Andy, it's much appreciated.
First video I ever made, looks a bit dated but still works, Cheers
thanks Andy, very good explanation.
Thanks for the appreciation, have you subscribed? Cheers, Andy
KILLING MACHINE ???????????
Hi. Good question. It depends on what you are cutting. Hard or soft wood. If there is any soil, grit, or sand this will take the edge off quickly, also nails and stones. If you look at the edge then it should not reflect light, if it does then give it a quick sharpen to bring the edge back. Don't keep cutting with a slightly blunt blade because you end up using more diesel and time, and making things worse for the next sharpen. A sharpen in time saves nine. Hope that answers the question.
thank you...
Steamingalan. Thanks for your comment, Part two has just been up-loaded and so is ready to be viewed. Enjoy.
Hi @AndyReynolds, love the videos. Do you know a place where I can get big circular saw blades like that (Scotland ?)
Al, try searching for saw doctors, cheers
Thanks
Well done very good video,looking forward to part 2.
Thanks for your appreciation; let's hear how you get on. You may wish to subscribe to get email alerts of uploads.
Many old saws that were sharpened too often have uneven height to the teeth. Therefore jointing the teeth (turning backwards against a stone) to get all the points jointed off to the same height. After that, sharpen each tooth to take out the jointed surface.
Exactly, as I did with the brick, cheers
My sawbench doesn't have that extra holding plate for the wood but I'm sure its a Ferguson sawbench, did you add that piece on to hold the wood on your sawbench?
Thanks for the comment. At some point in the past some enterprising soul added that extension to the right side of the blade. It helps to support the logs and means that you can rip down the grain and split blocks in half. Without it ripping would be impossible. I have added an extra strut to make things stiffer. I have also changed the drive to V belt and PTO. Subscribed? Cheers, Andy

That is one scary RIG!!!😵
Cheers
How often is the sharpening process
Cheers
Hello Andy ,I have a broken tooth on my 24 inch circular saw, can I still use it ok,
I have done this before without a problem, but I checked for cracks from the base of the gullet. Cheers, Andy
i know im not the first one to say it but that looks realy dangerous, standing next to the blade would make it a lot safer :-)
Not if you compare it to using a chainsaw, also easier on the back. Each one to their own, cheers.
hello . this definitely looks like one of the most dangerous set ups ive seen and i am a carpenter whos been on a lot of job sites .
Hi. Thanks for your interest and observation, as someone that works in forestry and timber related industries I would say a chainsaw is for more lethal. This circular will not kick back at you giving you a face full of oil and muck filled teeth, and the log bench means that the timber will not roll and leap about. Keeping the hands 6 inches away from the blade with thumbs in is however essential, as is not working when tired. That's the way I see it.
im sure youre right . it does look efficient . it must take some careful observation and training in order to get used to it . the system is limited to chopping one piece at a time though and i am not a expert forestry lumberjack or anything however i believe its relatively simple to rip threw a entire stack or wood in no time if you set it up right . anyhow who cares about speed . i much prefer using a axe wherever possible . cheers . it s interesting to hear your thoughts
Each one to their own way of thinking. If you are interested in ripping timber check out my videos showing the rack saw we use here. Cheers, Andy
if you built it then you know how to be safe using "dangerous" set ups...
they are only dangerous to the stupid people that should learn a lesson on safety
Have built and used fire wood bench saws for many years. In Australia they are very numerous and I have yet to hear of anyone getting a serious injury. If you know how a machine works and are careful you get the job done and no problems. Have tries to cut my 8 to 9 cubic Mtrs of firewood per year using chan saw and built the bench as a much faster and afer option. A city friend was appalled at the saw and would not go near it. He is a geek type.
veeeeery sloooooow firewood
There's no way you can avoid it, you'll just have to buy some new files. Let's hear how you get on. Cheers
Sure glad I can get Oak & Hickory for $ 125 A cord cut split delivered & stacked In S/W Mo.
Thanks for the comment, yes it's the old cash over time equation, having it delivered and stacked means you can get on with other things, Cheers
Can you show me a hand full of saw dust created from a fresh properly sharpened blade...Thanks I always pay attention to my chainsaw saw dust...
Richard I will try to include this in the next home life video, it's very small wood chips, cheers
10 degrees for ripping 45 for crosscut?
Yes and the tooth leaning forward for ripping, cheers
Güzel
Thank you
Kreissägenblätter in dieser grösse sind ineffektiv und werden leider zu schnell stumpf. Auch die Standzeiten dieser Blätter ist eher gering......deshalb gibts meiner Meinung nach nur eines.......Hartmetallblatt ....und kannst min. 40-50Std. sägen. Natürlich ist da noch der Preis den so ein Blatt hat....!!!
Hooooo boy, there's a disaster waiting to happen. Other than the blatant safety violation of keeping both hands on the same side of the blade, cordwood saws are always filed crosscut, you NEVER rip (cut in the same direction as the grain) with them.
Ever read "tall trees and tough men" by Robert E Pike? A history of Logging in New England
I haven't seen that one. I've got a couple of great log driving videos that I love :). I sharpen professionally and restore old tools so I see most of the stuff people are using on here :)
Death magnetic......
you know you can split wood, lol
Hi, oh yes, but this is one less operation and I cut 20 cubic metres a year so it make a difference, cheers
@@TheInfoworks might be easier but be carefull!
Don't trip
a very dangerous tool, surprised to see you still have all fingers and thumbs, i think you should add some guarding, and use push sticks, so you have a chance if you slip or trip, become ill, you seemed well out of breath with that bit of labour, i hope you don't pass out one day, or worse still some kid who copies you, spread a bit more safety, please.
Ha 😂 bet you work for health and safety ?
