Favorite Comment(s)!: Fixer noricum asks what we’re all thinking, “The real question is, how did he cut the piece of wood to start with?”
Reply: Fixer Stoneshop knows! “With a screwdriver for a chisel and a Stilson wrench for a hammer. Took off the rough edges with a cheese grater, then pushed the nail through in a bench vise.”

Well that saw realy is hacked up
What hapened here? This guy broke his hack saw frame after he had nearly worn out the blade, and tried to finish with this wooden substitute, which, of course, didn’t work. The blade MUST have tension to keep from bowing and twisting sideways. The wear on that blade did not occur in this kludged “frame.”
I’d like to see the saw he used to cut that wood. Probably one of those guaranteed-to-stay-sharp-forever-and-even-cuts-metal mail-order kitchen knives.
This saw only cuts in one direction. There is a nail going through the hole in the end of the blade at the left side of the image. The user has to pull the saw through the material, without pressing down very hard on the blade.
There is a wire holding the other end in the slot in the wood.
“The user has to pull the saw through the material, without pressing down very hard on the blade.”
which you do anyway using any saw. If you’re pushing down on the blade you need a course in woodworking.
The blade being used is meant for cutting metal. Your argument is invalid.
either way you dont push down on the blade, it will bind the saw. so your argument is invalid.
So? You still wouldn’t push down on the blade, just let it ‘eat’ its own way into the cut. And with both metal and wood you will then notice that the forward stroke cut is the one that does the job.
But what do kludgers know about proper handling of tools anyway? Before you know it they’d stop using a screwdriver as a chisel or pry-bar, or a Stilson wrench as a hammer.
Oooh, here come the zombies!
Guten Tag Brother Ziekiel would thou need the saw of potential sin and kludgern?
Day 148: Have now been in the forest for a few days, I escaped from the office by propping up the window with a keyboard. I found a modified switch-blade this morning and hoped I would find the maker, however, the suspiciously flattened grass surrounding it continued in a bloodstained furrow for twenty feet up till a body. I hope this weapon brings me more luck than its previous owners, the zombies show no sign of backing-off.

Who is that?
It’s the Lord, Noah.
Riiiight! What do you want? I’ve been good.
I want you…to build…an ark.
Riiiight! What’s an ark?
Chump
What’s a cubit?
No! It’s a kudzu cut it.
Whoever made this was a real hack.
Damn, that was a bad pun.

Hehe. I saw that one coming.
Stop broadcasting. Lay back and enjoy.
in some developing countries, they’re still struggling with technology terms like “computer hacker”
Is it weird that sometimes I look at these things and go “Sure, why not?” if it works, more power to you, cuz you didn’t waste money at Home Depot.
“Hey, the hacksaw broke while we were cutting this block.”
“Hey, don’t worry about it, we can just use this block to make a new one.”
From the director who brought you “The Number 23″…
“Hey wait a minute… look at this block… the two sides…”
Comes another thriller based on numbers.
“If we call this side ‘a’, and this side ‘b’…”
This summer…
“Square ‘a’ and ‘b’… call the hypotenuse ‘c’…”
Joel Schumacher presents…
“The lengths of ‘a’ and ‘b’ squared equal…”
“… ‘c’ squared!”
The Pythagorean Theorem. Rated PG-13.

The block of wood appears to be giving me the finger. It brings new meaning to the phrase “go f— yourself with a rusty saw.”
Watch your step, I used one of the stair treads to make this wicked saw!!!1!
Is that what he uses to cut that crab grass?
This saw was fashioned from driftwood using a sharp piece of flint, and, in turn, it can be used to build a forge for the production of more elaborate metal tools, themselves leading to further refinement and technological development. Soon they’ll have worked up to large-scale CAD/CAM mass-production facilities, so it’s nice that somebody had the foresight to invent the digital camera first so they could capture it all for historical record.
I want to know how the new frame was cut, since the saw was busted.
OMG!! Its a hacksaw/shelf stretcher combo!!
I doubt that would work very well or for very long
Who is the guy with the arrow in his mouth?
…but how did he cut the wood for the handle of the saw?
I like this simple ingenuity.
How did he cut the woodblock?
It appears to have been cut using a circular saw, and the whole thing looks like it was done purposefully just for the picture. Real kludgers frown on such things.
A real kludger with a new circular saw would have thrown this out in the yard, where his neighbor took this picture. I mean, who needs more than one saw? Tsk, tsk.
This photograph was one of many taken during the investigation of a daring prison break from California’s Corcoran State Prison. The saw was fashioned from a block of wood and was painted to resemble the spine of a large book. It was then smuggled into the prison library and hidden on a shelf among other large-sized law books. After creating a disturbance that distracted the guards, several inmates quickly sawed through the bars in a daring escape that left eight dead (including three guards) and one prisoner is still missing to this day.
Then again, maybe this is just another kludge.
With a screwdriver for a chisel and a Stilson wrench for a hammer. Took off the rough edges with a cheese grater, then pushed the nail through in a bench vise.
So remind me why he needs a saw again?
DIY angle saw.
Come on, guys! It’s a “Hicksaw”!
Cut it out with the Tetris!

Great blog.Thanks Again. Fantastic.
