This can be accomplished with nothing more than the following (no affiliate links):

  • Japanese style saw ~$30
  • El-cheapo Kanna Block Plane ~$14
  • A few chisels, honed razor sharp ~$30-60 (I bought the Irwin Marples set with the bevel guide... VITAL in helping you establish a razor edge!)
  • Sandpaper
  • Finish. I used Watco Natural Danish Oil ~$9
  • Not absolutely necessary, but helpful: Drill/Drill bits

    And the wood.. well, while purchasing some $2/board foot maple from a local miller (found on craigslist), I simply asked if he had some walnut scraps for wedges/inlays, he threw a bunch in (probably 10 board feet worth).

To use a hand planer, you need it to be really sharp (which that stanley one wont be) and you'd probably need a shooting board to aid you.

I would use a crosscut hand saw. A Japanese Ryoba would do pretty well, and it's not a splurge price-wise.

A straight cut isn't too hard to do free hand, but if you'd like to be precise, you can clamp a block (2x4, 4x4 cutoff) to your piece on the cut line and use the block as a guide to keep your saw straight. You could also buy a mitre box or a box and saw combo

The Japanese saws are the best in my opinion.

I have this ryoba style https://smile.amazon.com/Ryoba-Double-Razor-Hardwoods-Woodworker/dp/B00BSQU9UQ/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1549119655&sr=8-5&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=pull+saws+woodworking&dpPl=1&dpID=31c%2BDFCyb%2BL&ref=plSrch
I it works really well. Also unlike some of the others the teeth are set up for hardwoods. I believe that means they are slightly shorter then the softwood teeth.

I haven't looked at the HF models closely but have heard the blades are fairly thick for this style of saw so you don't get all of the benefits of a pull saw.

u/jfm2143 · 3 pointsr/DIY

It looks like a ryoba pull saw. I like the Gyuokucho Noko Giri, link below. These are great saws. I own this one and the Dozuki.

Woodworking with power tools revolves around the table saw. If you go that path, get the best one you possibly can. But used so your money goes father.

Woodworking with hand tools needs a few things:

  • A saw. A $30 Japanese saw with crosscut blade on one side and rip cut on the other is a great way to start if you aren't already an experienced sawyer. If you want to buy local, don't buy the crappy ones from Home Depot or Lowe's. You can get a good one from Woodcraft.
  • Chisels. Even the $10 six pack of chisels from Harbor Freight will work great. You have to sharpen a little more often, but it's much easier to get a keen edge.
  • A pounder. This can be a rubber mallet, a nylon mallet, or a stick. My first project was making a wooden mallet. I used a rubber mallet I already owned while making it.
  • A smoother. The best option is a bench plane (a used #4 Stanley, Record, or other pre-WWII plane is ideal; you can get fully restored planes on eBay for $75-90; you can buy a new Wood River at Woodcraft for under $150; or you can restore one (only do this if that process interests you). Stay away from new planes under $100). A secondary option is sandpaper. You will never match a plane's finish with sandpaper (literally glass-like), and some tasks, like stock removal, will be much more difficult or even impossible, but it is pretty cheap to get started.
  • A sharpener. On the cheap, you can use the "Scary Sharp" system using sandpaper and some thick glass to get started (I use a glass shelf I bought at Home Depot when I want to sharpen with sandpaper). For more money up front but less over time, you can use whetstones (water or oil) or diamond plates (I have a cheap $3 eBay-special 150 and 400 grit diamond plates to flatten my water stones and for major material removal, and I have two two-sided waterstones with 400/1000 and 4000/8000 grit for most sharpening). A $15 honing guide can make things much easier if you have coordination like me, but you probably want to spend a few minutes tweaking it to get best results.
  • Some marking/measuring tools. A marking gauge, a combination square (you will want to check and, if necessary, adjust it), a marking knife (a small pocket knife or utility knife works), and, maybe, a small tape measure. The tape measure gets used the least; most measurements are relative measurements made using the marking gauge.

    I'm a big believer in starting small and cheap and working my way up. With a few hand tools, you can get started for under $200 and have everything you need to make good quality stuff. The skills you learn with those tools will transfer to every project in the future, no matter how big. Fine joinery is the same, whether the boards are cut with a hand saw or a table saw, and you will never learn to read wood with a power jointer, planer and table saw like you will with a handsaw and bench plane.

    As you reach competency with these tools, you can decide how you want to expand your tools to achieve more. That may be more hand tools like a dovetail saw, additional planes, cabinet scrapers, etc, or it may be power tools with a table saw, band saw, dust collector, etc. Or it may be somewhere in the middle.

    Personally, I do this for relaxation, so a quiet shop and a face free of respirators and face shields is much better to me. Since I am in no hurry to finish projects, I use primarily hands tools (I have a few power tools from a previous life that I'll pull out on very rare occasions. I think often about selling them).

    If getting stuff done drives you, though, power tools are a great way to do that. It changes woodworking a little because it becomes a skill of setting machines up correctly (not a trivial skill!) to get the correct cut.

    The Wood Whisperer, who coined the phrase and, literally, wrote the book, Hybrid Woodworking, does a pretty good job blending hand and power tools. If I cared more about getting things done (and had the space and money to devote to it), that would be the path I would follow.
u/Ripudio · 2 pointsr/woodworking

Definitely buy tools based on the project(s) you have to do, but I think a good start would include:

Hand planer (Vintage Stanley Bailey is ideal)

A few chisels (Narex are a good option if you're on a budget)

Combination Square

Marking Knife (Stanley makes one that Paul Sellers recommends: Amazon)

Marking/Mortising Gauge(s): I think Crown is the only company making reliable ones with pins vs. the more common cutting disc.

Saw: I got this to start, its sharp as all heck, and has a crosscut and rip edge Japanese Ryoba

u/stalemunchies · 2 pointsr/woodworking

So there are two types of japanese pull saws. The dozuki, like you linked, is for finer items such as dovetails and such. The second type is the ryoba. These are 2 sided saws, one is filed for rip and one for crosscut which comes in handy. This is the type that you would more likely need if you aren't strictly just trying to cut dovetails/jointery. You could definitely use it to section up a piece of ply, however I will warn you that any hand saw is going to take you a long while section up sheet goods of any kind, especially something like ply with its interchanging grains.

u/we_can_build_it · 1 pointr/woodworking

I would look at something like this. They get great reviews for the price and yes to ensure square cuts I would use a shooting board to get it dialed in after cross cutting.

u/Nastier_Nate · 1 pointr/woodworking

For crosscutting and medium/large tenon cuts, I'd consider the Gyokucho Ryoba to be the best value saw out there. I've got a little Dozuki that I picked up at Woodcraft that I use for dovetails and small stuff, but that Ryoba is a workhorse for less than $30.

If you don't have a sawzall, get one of these bad boys:

Irwin

or Ryoba

I have the Ryoba, it's an amazing saw. They cut on the pull stroke so it's easier to keep a straight line than a western saw. They also have flexible blades which make trimming flush a breeze.

u/mounttod · 1 pointr/woodworking

Do you know if he typically buys higher end tools or mid range? I ask because he probably already has something similar but a Starrett Square would be an awesome gift. I don't own one but would be trilled if someone randomly gave me one.

You could go with either the 13A Double Square or the 6" combination square. Both are around $70 and he would probably use it every project.

I'll also never go without one of these saw in my shop. Ryoba Japanese pull saw

Does he use hand planes? Kinda expensive but this plane is seeing lots of use in my shop now: Rabbet Block Plane

Definitely get yorself out of the "cordless system" mindset entirely if you want to really get into decent woodworking. Cordless is really awesome for building a house or drilling in the attic, but you're overpaying for a benefit that you aren't utilizing. Cordless circular saw can make sense, but not a miter saw and certainly not a table saw unless you are a contractor or farmer (or have goofy power requirements, but I still maintain it's an exception requirement and not something any normal user needs).

A really really exceptional hand saw for woodworking is this guy -

For reference, I do hobby woodworking and house upgrade projects. I have one power saw, a makita track saw, and an unreasonable array of hand saws (I think I have 11 or 12 different hand saws at the moment). Rarely do I want or need something more, a table saw at some point but only for repeatable cuts when I'm doing something with multiple specific rips.

u/GIVES_SOLID_ADVICE · 1 pointr/woodworking

good advice in this thread, but I can't believe no one mentioned the mack daddy.

I'm sure you've seen it on youtube, so its well liked. The replacement blades aren't very expensive so no need to send it around the world to get sharpened. It really is a great saw. I learned on sharp western Disston saws, but the Japanese pull saw came as second nature once I let the saw do the work.

Thats a good all around saw, but you might prefer the Dozuki (in related items) for dovetails and spline cuts.
