Probably several months ago I watched some woodworking video on Youtube, and the video was sponsored by this strange saw contraption that I’m having no luck googling. Maybe I dreamed it up and I’ve got something worth patenting, I don’t know.

The most concise way I can explain it is, imagine if the table saw had been invented, but power tools and circular saws hadn’t. Or, think of the journey you go on when making a circ saw into a table saw, and then go on that journey with a frame saw.

This is a stationary tool that holds a straight blade in tension, the blade doesn’t move, the stock is secured to a guide which slides on rails, and can be positioned to make various different cuts.

I thought “huh, I’ll look that up later to see if it’s worth a damn” and now can’t find it again. Might have dreamed it.
