Here are the parts it is built from
Took a few minutes to build, and in the end it is very stiff, light and long!
They were also common here in Denmark. I remember using them in school.
Where did you get the blade from? Kit?
Can you use it for resawing?
It is from some old dude who totally was a Nazi. Father of friends of my parents
The blade is freshly sharpened manually ;)
@pantherina my grandpa has couple of them, Lithuania.
@pantherina cool! I restored one recently, too. Mine still needs a new blade though.
Nice one. I like to call them ‘framed’ (or mounted) saws in general to distinguish them from actual frame saws in English (aka pit saws, long saws…). Older than the Romans, changing only subtly. There are different types, of course, largely distinguished by size of frame, blade width, and filing. Crosscut and ripcut saws were on the bigger side, in France anyway. The blades turned so you could cut alongside the bench as you go deeper into the wood. This looks like crosscut teeth.
Love some great tool making!
