Step 3Learning to cope
Below is a picture of my coping saw all taken apart. What we're going to to is use the end pieces to hold the blade, and use the threaded handle as a tightener.
If your coping saw is like mine though, it was never designed so the blade could pivot forward and back. This is a problem. If you try and use it like that, then the blade will bow and possibly break. Therefore, you'll need use a hacksaw to cut the slots so that they can angle back.
I may be jumping ahead a little, but I also added a picture of how all these pieces will be used in the finished product.
