More maebiki demonstrations. I especially like the technique of the woodworker at 3:18 and 3:48, who shows that you can saw horizontally and vertically with this type of saw. It may be that the decision to saw vertically or horizontally depends primarily on how much of a pain it is to stand the log up on end. The logs being sawn vertically are noticeably smaller than the logs being sawed horizontally in the videos I’ve seen.

Also, more two man maebiki choreography at 7:45, and showing how the two saws slide past each other at 8:16.
