Apply the buck patterns to the wood,

The circled "X" below the tail of each buck marks the spot to be drilled for the 1/4" dowel that holds the bucks to the handle. Drill a test hole in some scrap wood to find the correct size drill bit that will allow the dowel to fit easily into the hole.

The circled "X" below the tail of each buck marks the location of the dowel hole.

Positioning of bucks.

A good-cutting buck saw has sharp, alternately set teeth, so the five bucks for this buck saw are lined up with the first one facing forward, the second facing left, the third facing forward, the fourth facing right, and the fifth facing forward.

Photocopy the patterns, saving the originals for future use. Make three copies of the front-facing buck. Apply the buck patterns to the wood. If you've glued up the stock for the bucks, note the orientation of the pattern to the glue joint line. Applying the pattern this way will assure the glue joint does not fracture when the dowel hole is drilled in the next step.
