Handmade Bucksaw

[fjefman]

After watching Ray Mear's videos I'm really itching for a bucksaw. Does anybody have, or know where I can get any plans on making one? A search of the net didn't reveal anything. Sure I can start make one just starting with the blade but plans would be much easier and faster.

Just to clarify, I want to make one of these?

If you Google "Bowsaw plan" you'll get some hits. The saw's woodworking name is bowsaw (vs bucksaw). You may have to modify the plans for the woodworking versions to eliminate the handles sticking out on the ends.

Here is a link to a DIY plan from "The Woodworker" circa 1920's:
