Thanks for the link, I had found the plans for the frame saw, but Bob Easton's post has way more information. It will definitely make construction and use easier.

Patrick,

I use my rip saw mentioned in the post for any resawing…it's not a ton of fun but it works.
I'm eventually going to make a dedicated frame saw for resawing…Bob Easton has some great info on this topic at his boat building blog. http://www.bob-easton.com/blog/?p=475
Thanks for the comments and good luck with it.
Cheers.

I am slowly working up the courage to do all my woodworking by hand but one thing is stopping me, how to resaw thick planks. My next project (between a hanging tool cabinet and my wife's chest of drawers) is a frame saw for resawing. I have tried to resaw 9" wide planks with a rip saw but it did not turn out so well. What do you use? Hi Tom, great post on saws. I am slowly working up the courage to do all my woodworking by hand but one thing is stopping me, how to resaw thick planks.

Very helpful. Awhile back I used handsaws extensively in timberframing and was amazed at how good I got with them, but in my cabinet shop they don't get that much use, except for dovetailing. But, I plan to put them in action more often, and the information you've provided, in particular your link to Mark Harrell, has really been useful.<br />Agree about the saw hitting the stretcher.<br />Thanks!<br />Tico Great post, Tom.

Agree about the saw hitting the stretcher.
