I've watched that video several times. If you notice, after he cuts the
pins free, he goes back in the opposite direction with the saw and
cleans up the corner that was left when the blade made its turn.
Not claiming to be anything on the order of a Klausz dt maker, but I
follow the same approach with a coping saw when making the 'bottom'
cuts. Coping blades are nowhere near as stiff as the blade on FK's frame
saw; therefore, cutting a straight line takes practice and a fresh blade.
Finally, I've seen St. Roy use a blade with the 90degree twist on some
past show (no, I don't remember the episode number). Seems like there
was a European (German?) source for that blade some time ago, but it
Klausz says it's no longer available, I have to believe him.
