lysyttelser

Lysiftsåg (also known as lysyttlser or lysytter) is a traditional Norwegian lathel industtry tool, used primarily for cutting and shaping wood. It is a type of pull saw with a frame supporting the blade, typically used by carpenters and woodworkers.

The design of the lysyttlser is characterized by a wooden or metal frame that holds the blade in place. The blade itself is usually longer than the frame, and is made of high-carbon steel. The frame is designed to be held firmly in one hand, while the blade is pulled back and forth through the cut. This design allows for precise control over the cut, making it a valuable tool for woodworkers.

Lysyttlser are often associated with traditional Norwegian woodcarving and carpentry. They were commonly used in the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly in the production of decorative wood carvings and cabinetry. Today, lysyttlser are still used by some woodworkers and craftsmen, although they are largely replaced by more modern sawing tools.

The use of lysyttlser requires great skill and precision, as the sawing motion is accompanied by a fine control over the depth of the cut. This makes it a challenging tool to master, but also contributes to its reputation as a valuable and exacting tool in the hands of a skilled craftsman.
