Interest in a handsaw skills workshop

[Graywolf]

I would like to see what the interest in a handsaw skill workshop, to include breaking down stock, as well as sawing joinery. This would include some demonstration with hands on practice and coaching. Dates to be determined location would be at Bills in Liberty. Cost would be a 30.00 donation to NCWW plus 5 bucks for lunch. So bring your handsaws out and add a little accuracy to your cuts.

Western saws? Or all saws?

 

[Graywolf]

Western saws, eastern saws are a different technique and would be a another workshop altogether.

 

[Jeremy Scuteri]

I would be interested in this.

Judging by my tenons on Saturday I would be very interested in this workshop.

 

[zapdafish]

I'd be interested. Will you be demoing a saw bench too?

 

[Phil S]

Not trying to stir anything up, I would be interested in eastern style saws. Do we have a resident expert ??

 

[David Justice]

I need this workshop and would be very interested.

 

[Graywolf]

Saw benchs, on how to use and abuse them and then eat lunch on them and make them like it.... Yes.

I don't know about an expert, I do know how to use the little guys and to some extent the layout and rules for accurate sawing are the same. And I hold no I'll will toward the eastern saw and or it's use. I am a little green when it comes to the teaching side of things and would like to narrow the focus a little and keep the chances of confusion low. I'll let you pick as to whom the confusion prevention is for.:rotflm:

Just looking at the calendar, Richard, every Saturday in April is open. In May, the 13th and 20th are out. In June, the 17th is out. Every Saturday beyond that is open.

 

[Graywolf]

Thanks Bill, I'll post something tomorrow evening.

 

[Graywolf]

Ok so what I meant to say was I post something on Saturday. Wow what a week! I would like put April 8th or April 22 up and see how many could make one of those dates. I look forward to hearing from you guys on this.

 

[Raymond]

The class would be interesting but both April and May are just too busy for me this year.

 

[cstandi1]

I could do either, but I would prefer the 22nd.

 

[Jeremy Scuteri]

I can make the 8th, not the 22nd.

 

[LB75]

I'd be very interested but can't until mid-June. Booked up pretty much every weekend until then.

 

[Mrfixit71]

I'm interested. Could make April 8, but not 22.

Can someone who can't use a hand saw participate? If I buy a saw and bring it?

The point here is to train at all levels, to build and improve skills and give you drills to practice to continue to improve. So yes, you can and I hope you will.
So what kind of saw are you thinking of buying?
