Here I hope you will find inspiration for many different woodworking projects you may find interesting, from the simple to complicated. Until my retirement in early 2026 I used to also sell fantastic pullsaws from Japan's number 1 saw maker, Z-Saw (or Zetsaw), whose range of saws includes saws for rip-cutting (with the grain of the wood) and cross-cutting (at 90 degrees to the grain) as well as universal saws which will cut wood in any direction. They also make saws for cutting green timber, metal and plastic, so whatever your project you are likely to find a suitable saw. I still use Z-Saws exclusively and have no hesitation in recommending them unreservedly. In the column on the right (or at the bottom if you are viewing this site on a phone) you will see that many of my former customers agree. Now that I no longer sell these saws you can find them in the Silverhand Creative shop.

If you are new to Japanese saws you may find the video below to be a very helpful introduction. The video was created by Rajeev Fernando of Ebonisto.com in Australia, and all the saws he demonstrates are made by Z-Saw except the last one (the azebiki). Thanks to Rajeev for permission to share his excellent video.

Rajeev (mentioned above) has also prepared a great video showing how the free-angle saw guide has taken over from his Makita powered chop saw for 90% of his jobs. My thanks to him again.
