Project Information
I had a couple of cheap coping saws where the frame didn't stay where I wanted it to while I was cutting. So I decided to try making my own.
I used some hickory for the frame and walnut for the twisty thing with a BLO and was finish. The string is about 11ft of poly Masons String.
The blade came from Tools For Working Wood. And I made the blade holders from some 1/4" threaded rod, a washer and two nuts. I just followed what Rex Krueger did on his channel.
I love it. It cuts tight, clean radiuses and feels good to use.
I got a new Rigid spindle sander with a portion of my stimulus check and that worked wonderfully to get all of the nice curves and the indent in the walnut for the string.
