How to hone rip cut technique using Japanese saw 

One minute in and I already learned a deep and very useful lesson. Dividing the cutting process into those "polygonal" sections. Great video. Very clear.

So that's how you prevent the saw from drifting from the line!! So simple!! Thanks for showing my path to Japanse Saw Enlightenment!!

Second video I watched and the second lesson I learned. You are a craftsman. Thank you for taking the time to show us your technique.

Why use a ryoba if you have crosscut and rip katabas? Also, you use a western bench and work-holding (holdfasts, cast iron vice, dogs). A lot of westerners are interested in this hybrid approach. Many good video ideas. I'm also interested in the tradition ways too (like the small saw horses, sitting on your work, sitting down, sawing downward, long boards to plane on). Your ability to speak English makes you unique on youtube. We have many questions!

Excellent description and the use of graphic to show the angle of cut superb,

Your videos are wonderful! Thank you for sharing these techniques with us. I love learning from you and hope you upload many more videos!

I have used these saws since the late 1970s and only make use of an occasional band saw or circular saw with wood or plastic. Once used to usage it is easy to end cut a 1/16" off a 6' round, if needed. These will drop dust and straight down rather than blown all over by an electric or gas device. I have also used them for clearing fallen trees up to 8" in dia.

I could watch this all day, thanks for sharing your skills:)

No matter how I try, I'm not very good at making a straight right angle cut, with either a Japanese saw or a Western tenon saw The tip at 2mins 50secs of clamping a guide block is excellent! I'll do that in future

Great explanation, thank you for that. The only thing I'm missing is how well tenon and mortise fit together afterwards.

by far the best channel for a specialised skill set. very impressive. thank you

Hi Hisa, thank you very much for sharing your techniques and methods; I have learned from you and am able to emulate many things you do, though some take some practice. I think the order in which you do things important too,.

eureka! Now I get it. Just bought one of these saws and that video really helps "straighten" me out...

Thank you very much for your instructions. Is this the same technique for cutting very hard wood?

i smell a future youtube star! Chisel on hombre!

Very well done. I like it. Thanks.

Thanks for the tips master

I am always forgetting which side of the saw is for cross cutting and which for ripping so was hoping to catch that here. I could just TRY each one but its nice to review techniques with an expert. Wow! You make hand cutting tenons look simple. What about the mortise? Anyway I need the super basic info about rip vs crosscut blade. thank you for a mesmerizing youtube

very enjoyable & instructive - thank you for posting.

Thank you for the lesson.

Will you do a series about the tools you use? I really like the Japanese gardening and woodworking tools that I have seen.

Beautiful technique!!

Nice explaination! This helped me know more on using my ryoba, thanks!

great vid. looking forward to watching the rest (new subscriber from Scotland)

great demo! Thank you

先生あなたは素晴らしいスキルを持っています。 あなたの英語は素晴らしいです。 ありがとうございました

brilliant. Added to my mastercraft playlist and subscribed ! Great tips. Eigo ga Jyozu!

How are these for one-handed sawing? How about for sawing without a workbench, without anything beyond your knee holding the material in place?

this is an excellent video! thank you!

Nicely explained how to saw, didnt know that

Thank you. This helps a lot!

I've seen lots of videos on Japanese saws as of late. I noticed sometimes you can purchase saws specifically listed as " for hardwood". Is this important if you are cutting into hardwoods, or is it ok to buy the "regular" listed Japanese saws? And can you use to cut into softwoods to with these "hardwood" saws. I don't see a lot of RU-vid videos mention the specifically designed hardwood Japanese saws or if you have to go through the trouble of buying it specifically to cut into hardwoods. Your thoughts? thx

Great technique

Awesome channel, thank you.

Thank you

R these saws just for shop work? Or do they handle just as good as western style saws for outdoor framing?

Is there a japanese verion of a router plane?

hey great video! how do you stop from sawing crooked lines when you're ripping?

Keep up the good work! I'd be interested to know why you used two different planes on the tenon.

Could you use this to hand-cut a rabbet joint?

great video can you show how to retract the blade when using a 櫛形しゃくりかんな？I'm not having any luck with striking the back of the dai with a mallet

very helpfull thanks!

Are the kanna you use for tenons flat-soled, or are they tuned like hira-kanna?

Most of your tools look hand made (like the marking tool you used) could you show how it is made or maybe do a short tutorial of the tools your using. Thank you in advance.

Hisao さん, in the video you mention a previous video, which I cannot find. Which video do you refer to?

What for kind of wood do you use? Very nice video!

Bos.... di jajal motong ke kayu yang keras dong kaya kayu di kalimantan.... Bukannya kayu kaya begitu... kalau kayu seperti itu gergaji model biasa juga enak aja buat motongnya

I noticed you flipped the saw blade after you started the cut. I didn't know I was supposed to do that. (I'm very bad and hand sawing. )

That's a kataba, not a dozuki, that you used to cut the tenon shoulders. Isn't it?

がんばってね〜

Why is he naming the saw Dozuki? Isn't it a Ryoba?

Nice video, that bench was wobbling all over the place mind..🤢

naic

I'm not sure I trust woodworking advice from someone whos workbench is that wobbly.

Bought new Shark was today

Woodglut is a good solution for every woodworker.

Oh wow at 2:32 that's so awkward LOL! I think that you didn't need to change for cutting side

If you want to know how to do it yourself, just look for Stodoys.

The rip saw is being used the wrong way here. The wood should lean the other way and then the rip teeth will cut the same way western saw teeth will cut. Western saws and Japanese saws all have the teeth angled the same way to the fibres. This video is wrong .

Subscribed, great technique with the Ryoba and Dozuki.
