In the above video you’ll see a fantastic tutorial by two Colonial Williamsburg craftsmen Edward Wright and Bill Pavlak. They were kind enough to share a tutorial on how to resaw wide boards using a large frame saw. I filmed this skill tutorial (and several other skill tutorials) inside the 18th Century Anthony Hay Cabinet Shop at Colonial Williamsburg.
Here are all my videos & articles of the Anthony Hay’s Cabinetmaking Shop at Colonial Williamsburg:

Nice video!
I’m glad you enjoyed it Matt!
Very nice. Nice to know about the wind in the blade. Wouldn’t have given it much thought. They do excelent work.
Yeah, I found that very fascinating too Jason. Thanks for watching.
Cool! I have one of these saw blades and mounting hardware from Isaac Smith at Blackburn Tools. I really have to build a frame for it and put it to use! I tried his out on a 2′ length of 8″ wide mahogany, it did a great job.
