#ryoba — Public Fediverse posts

By popular demand (-> @compfu :)), I´d like to share the progress of my first #woodworking project of the year. This whole thingy will replace the suction cups that are supposed hold the towels, yet fail regularly at that simple task. I used some old shelves we don´t need any more. The gaps and holes will get closed with some filler, then I´ll sand it, oil it and install it. One (later invisible) mistake so far. Working with a #Ryoba was such a bliss, I couldn´t stop in time xD

How to Resaw with Just a Hand Saw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPgVYTwQ5Wc

Hot take:

a frame saw is ergonomically the Western equivalent of a Japanese #Ryoba.

Frame saw in this video cuts on the push stroke, but is used with two hands: one left, one right, shoulder wide or so, so you can really push at a strong angle.

Ryoba, used with two hands, pulled towards your center, also makes straight cuts ergonomic. Only on the pull stroke.

For a while I thought I really wanted a #Ryoba saw.

Don't get me wrong -- it sings beautifully when sawing wood. That's amazing!

But what I actually wanted was a #Dozuki saw. So precise, such narrow saw cuts, it's the best

some people have actual workbenches...
i have a stepy toolbox, some clamps and a cushion
