My method for sawing irregular scales.
I developed a method of sawing scales of thick sambar, or any other irregular material.
First you prepare a plane part and after glues in a parallel wood piece, with a guide you cut exactly in straight line. I hope it help Best regards, Romano __________________ RICARDO ROMANO BERNARDES / RFA Romano Facas Artesanais (Romano Custom Knifemaking) Itajub?, MG - Brazil E-mail: cutromano@yahoo.com Last edited by cutromano; 04-03-2009 at 07:15 PM. |

That looks like a great idea. The more I think about it, the better I like it. It is much safer, by a long way, than trying to hold on to the stag piece,or whatever kind of irregular piece you are cuttings. while trying to keep it vertical.
Thanks Ricardo! __________________ http://www.srjknives.com NRA Endowment Member Knifemakers' Guild Member since 1971 "May you live all the days of your life." - Jonathan Swift Last edited by Steve; 04-03-2009 at 07:27 PM. |

No I don't know what happened? I noticed all the pictures posted yesterday were gone when I went to link a reference to another thread on the subject.
Now I see their back. This seems like a great technique, that's both reliable and safe. Holding a semi-round object with fingers that close to the blade, where the blade could catch and roll fingers into the blade is a good way to test a surgeons ability?? By gluing to a long straight guide, fingers would not be near the blade. You might consider making it a sticky for reference? I would bet it's a question that comes up often(I know I saw this last night, and a question was posted in another section this morning). Last edited by Jim Dannels; 04-03-2009 at 07:32 PM. |

I can't even post my own. I'll email him and he can probably do it.

Thank you, Romano, for the new pictures. They show exactly what you are doing. Safer, easier, more control, more precision.

Lapidary's have been using this technique for centuries to hold oddball rough for slab sawing. As mentioned saves fingers (and blades when cutting rock).
