Mitre/Table Saw for Top Bar Ripping

I found this multi table saw by accident today and it was a very good price, too good to let it go. Yes I bought it and tried to cut some top bars with it and it works good enough. This saw is not ment to rip huge planks or very long ones but short top bars go through it like knife through butter.

Rip Saw vs Crosscut Saw

I tried to rip top bars with a hand saw and it didnt work well. It was way too exhausting and took ages to do just one bar. What I didnt realise is that I used a crosscut saw to rip planks. I didnt know about this difference before.
I now bought a new rip saw and the difference between them is shown on images bellow:

I will update this issue as soon I try this new rip saw. I will also redesign the saw gude I made. It just isnt ergonomic. Stay tuned!

DIY Hand Miter Saw

I was looking to buy a miter saw but the price was too high for my self-sufficient householder pocket so I pondered what to do.
An idea came up and I collected a few pieces of materisl from the garage and this was the result :)

hand saw, a tick wooden plank wide enough for the saw blade and a 90' deg metal piece

screw or nail the metal piece to the plank but make sure not to make it too tight for the saw

fasten the whole thing and viola, an inexpensive hand miter saw :) Dont you just LOVE DIY :)
