Select Circular Saw Blades for Different Wood
You might know your circular saw blades like we do. But this guy know his saw blades and his wood. He hosts an informative video on his YouTube Channel - WoodWorkWeb. The short film gives you an idea of what circular saw blade to use for which material like natural wood. For example, are you cutting with the wood grain or against the grain? If so you'll need a different circular saw blade for each. The film also covers things like how many teeth a saw blade needs to cut wood.

More Woodcraft - More Making Things!
Sanyasi Rao is a carpenter and artist. Read about his work in the article below where he talks about what it's like making things with tooling and wood. He says: “Unlike paintings, the margin of error in wooden portraits is zero. Once you make a wrong cut on the wood, the entire facial structure changes."

Walt Whitman - Wrote of Woodwork and Tools
Walt Whitman is a poet who wrote about America. And in the poem segment below, part 3 of Song of the Broad Axe, he writes of woodworking and using tools.
The log at the wood-pile, the axe supported by it;
The sylvan hut, the vine over the doorway, the space clear’d for a garden,
The irregular tapping of rain down on the leaves, after the storm is lull’d,
The wailing and moaning at intervals, the thought of the sea,
The thought of ships struck in the storm, and put on their beam ends, and the cutting away of masts;
The sylvan hut, the vine over the doorway, the space clear’d for a garden,
The irregular tapping of rain down on the leaves, after the storm is lull’d,
The wailing and moaning at intervals, the thought of the sea,
The thought of ships struck in the storm, and put on their beam ends, and the cutting away of masts;
The sentiment of the huge timbers of old-fashion’d houses and barns;
The remember’d print or narrative, the voyage at a venture of men, families, goods,
The disembarkation, the founding of a new city,
The voyage of those who sought a New England and found it—the outset anywhere,
The settlements of the Arkansas, Colorado, Ottawa, Willamette,
The slow progress, the scant fare, the axe, rifle, saddle-bags;
The beauty of all adventurous and daring persons,
The beauty of wood-boys and wood-men, with their clear untrimm’d faces,
The beauty of independence, departure, actions that rely on themselves,
The American contempt for statutes and ceremonies, the boundless impatience of restraint,
The loose drift of character, the inkling through random types, the solidification;
The butcher in the slaughter-house, the hands aboard schooners and sloops, the raftsman, the pioneer,
Lumbermen in their winter camp, day-break in the woods, stripes of snow on the limbs of trees, the occasional snapping,
The glad clear sound of one’s own voice, the merry song, the natural life of the woods, the strong day’s work,
The blazing fire at night, the sweet taste of supper, the talk, the bed of hemlock boughs, and the bear-skin;
—The house-builder at work in cities or anywhere,
The preparatory jointing, squaring, sawing, mortising,
The hoist-up of beams, the push of them in their places, laying them regular,
Setting the studs by their tenons in the mortises, according as they were prepared,
The blows of mallets and hammers, the attitudes of the men, their curv’d limbs,
Bending, standing, astride the beams, driving in pins, holding on by posts and braces,
The hook’d arm over the plate, the other arm wielding the axe,
The floor-men forcing the planks close, to be nail’d,
Their postures bringing their weapons downward on the bearers,
The echoes resounding through the vacant building;
The huge store-house carried up in the city, well under way,
The six framing-men, two in the middle, and two at each end, carefully bearing on their shoulders a heavy stick for a cross-beam,
The crowded line of masons with trowels in their right hands, rapidly laying the long side-wall, two hundred feet from front to rear,
The flexible rise and fall of backs, the continual click of the trowels striking the bricks,
The bricks, one after another, each laid so workmanlike in its place, and set with a knock of the trowel-handle,
The piles of materials, the mortar on the mortar-boards, and the steady replenishing by the hod-men;
—Spar-makers in the spar-yard, the swarming row of well-grown apprentices,
The swing of their axes on the square-hew’d log, shaping it toward the shape of a mast,
The brisk short crackle of the steel driven slantingly into the pine,
The butter-color’d chips flying off in great flakes and slivers,
The limber motion of brawny young arms and hips in easy costumes;
The constructor of wharves, bridges, piers, bulk-heads, floats, stays against the sea;
—The city fireman—the fire that suddenly bursts forth in the close-pack’d square,
The arriving engines, the hoarse shouts, the nimble stepping and daring,
The strong command through the fire-trumpets, the falling in line, the rise and fall of the arms forcing the water,
The slender, spasmic, blue-white jets—the bringing to bear of the hooks and ladders, and their execution,
The crash and cut away of connecting wood-work, or through floors, if the fire smoulders under them,
The crowd with their lit faces, watching—the glare and dense shadows;
—The forger at his forge-furnace, and the user of iron after him,
The maker of the axe large and small, and the welder and temperer,
The chooser breathing his breath on the cold steel, and trying the edge with his thumb ...

Armadillo Cutter Block
Gerrymet, as a UK tooling supplier, aim to stock products for carpenters and joiners that make woodcutting and other related tasks
more efficient. We look for ways we can save you time and money.
An example of this is the Armadillo Cutter Block, which is
designed to overcome the costs of knives and limiters for
short run non-standard profiles. Not only do blocks save on knife costs but they also increase the
quality. This greatly reduces noise and provides large depths of profile
in excess of 45mm. The Armadillo Cutter Block is also made in the UK.
If this or any other tooling is of interest, please visit the Gerrymet website or telephone 01543 378 805.

Brief History of Circular Saw Blades
Circular saws and saw blades are used in saw mills. Here's a brief history (from Wiki) of the invention of the circular saw blade.
A Southampton man, Walter Taylor, in 1762 built a saw mill. Wiki says: "Descriptions of his machinery there in the 1790s show that he had circular saws."
A sailmaker called Samuel Miller, also of Southampton obtained a patent in 1777 for a saw windmill. However the specification for this only mentions the form of the saw incidentally, probably indicating that it was not his invention.
Three years later in 1780 a man called Gervinus in Germany invented the circular saw.
A large circular saw in a saw mill is said to have been invented in 1813 by Tabitha Babbitt after she noted the inefficiency of the traditional saw pits used by the sawyers in her community and sought an improvement - athough, it says on Wiki, that this is now mostly discredited.
