That's what I was asking, but I put the question poorly. The blade I want to use is about 26" long by 1.5" wide, maybe 8 tpi. Currently it's fixed to a frame, but if the blade could be turned to 90 degrees to the frame, it could rip much longer boards. Tage Frid was a woodworker, not a toolmaker, that I associate with this type of saw, but it's probably just a standard European bow saw. I don't think the holders at Tools for working wood would fit a blad this large.
