Hello all, I am trying to find an article by Tage Frid on the construction of a shop made bow saw. I know it has to be 20 years old, but I always wanted to build it. I thought it was in his 3 book series but I just went through them and can’t find it.
I am currently thumbing through all my old woodworking books, and mags to find it. Anyone remember which book, or magazine

I can check further this weekend but try fww #8
In F.W on Hand Tools Tage Frid has an article titled "Sawing by Hand" In it he has a small section on how to make one. Only 4 paragrghs is all.
What happened to the archived articles you could buy from back issues in F.W? I can't seem to find them.
All of the archive articles are now available on our new website FineWoodworkingNetwork.com. Rather than selling articles individually, we now offer monthly or annual subscriptions to access all of the archive articles (plus videos, tool reviews, and more).
Click on the "Network Home" link above to start browsing the archives. From the home page, choose the category of article you are looking for and it will lead you to a list of all relevant content. If you need any more assistance send me an email through my screenname link.

I may have a link with a free plan on a bow saw. I have used the plan and made several. When I get home later tonight, I'll check and see if I can find it.
