I watched him do it today on "The Woodworking Shows" complimentary show
DVD. How the heck can he turn his bow saw so quick when he's cutting out
the waste between tenons??? I don't have a saw like his, but it's
amazing (he probably did some trimming, but that part wasn't show it in
the DVD).

A few years ago at one of TWWS I saw a guy cut around a corner
with a bowsaw without rotating the frame. After his presentation I
took a look at his bowsaw. It had a 90 degree twist in the center of the
blade (for maybe 1/4 or less of the blade length). So using the front
section he could cut straight down, the center turned the corner and the
rear section cut horizontally. Maybe Klausz did it like that?

In case anyone is interested in this, I'm reporting from the DVD. Klausz
uses a bow saw with about a 1 1/2" blade to cut his pins, vertically.
Then he uses another bow saw (he calls his "tenon cut-out saw") that has
about a 3/8" blade with a 90 degree twist near the end. The twist occurs
over several inches. Insert blade into previous vertical cut, push a
little, and you're cutting horizontally. Slick.
