I started using Japanese saws over 10 years ago and the only other hand saw
I ever use now is a hacksaw.
I buy my saws from Tashiro'shttp://www.tashirohardware.com/
I haven't used Home Depot saws but I'd assume Tashiro's are better. But
they aren't priced like the handmade ones you would find at The Japan
Woodworkerhttp://www.japanwoodworker.com/catalog.html
I have 3 different blades and have been very pleased with both the tools
and the service from Tashiro's. My first order was over 10 years ago and I
replaced 2 blades last year.

Bill,
You mentioned your Japanese pull saw. I'm using that style and I'm really
pleased with it. Taught one of my 6 year old grandsons to cut with it in
about 5 minutes. Got mine from Home Depot and the blade quality is
unacceptable. Is there a particular make and supplier that you or anyone
else our there can recommend?
Thanks,
Jim C.

Re taping joints:
I've done it both ways, and both work fine. My Payson
Pirogue was built upside down, and the bottom filled
and taped before turning over. No problem. Similarly
my Chebacco.
My Peach Pie pram (designed by Chuck Merrell) is built
right way up, so I'm filleting and taping the inside
seams before flipping her to do the bottom.
Yes - either way it's a good idea to back up the gaps
with masking/duct tape so the expensive epoxy doesn't
all dribble away, though I've found with Peach Pie
that accurately cutting my panels with a Japanese
pull-saw means that there are no significant gaps at
all.
Do what seems mosts natural to you.
