Pedder, As you may know, 04/04/2023 was a historical day in America, a former US President was indicted. It is really a sad day in America that...
That's ridiculous! As you know, I paid $800 for the one I got, it is in good shape, but $800 to get a vise is a LOT of coin, just saying. I still...
Yes, I think back on one of the very early sawmakers, Vlad Spehar of Spehar-Toolworks who used a laminated back/plate, but I think he did use...
I mentioned in a previous post that I am starting to realize that saws should not be designed to have the plate replaced and/or taken apart, it...
bearkatwood, I think you replied recently to a IG post of mine for my knife build I'm doing. I remember you are somewhere up in the pudget sound...
Certainly my view is always different. LOL I have recently been thinking that over the past most all of the sawmakers have designed and produced...
It wasn't cheap, but I'm at the point that I just wanted to have one, it is classic. I didn't really need it. I had bought a 3D vise I ended up...
Pedder, I find humor in this thread you created more than 11 years ago. To share the humor, Pedder had posted on another forum that he was...
If you're using a Foley, the gauge sets the teeth 3/4" above the carrier. You can do the same by using a piece of 3/4" wood, just set the carrier...
I'll offer you some advice, and to answer the question as to if the drill press method worked, yes, Ray has slotted backs on a drill press as I...
Nice saw, I love those old handles with the big cheeks. That looks like a nice saw. Hard to tell if it was actually canted or just sharpened that...
Very nice saw Fred, and Mari's and Joe's saws are nice also. Don't find too many dovetail saws in the wild. The hang is extremely high on both...
In some of the older saws, especially the British examples where the steel is old, it's possible that the hardening process was not very good in...
Dusty, I don't come by here very often, so that's why I'm replying to your message that is 5 months old...LOL I would be curious about any filer...
Even I don't care for Henry Disston, comparing him to Henry Ford is a disgrace to Disston. I had been interested in Model AAs and Model BBs for...
<sound of palm slapping forehead> For some reason I didn't think about a gent saw, but that makes sense. I've seen some Atkins gent saws I'm...
Tis the reason I don't care for Disston saws. A remarkable production and marketing machine, but just looses some of the hand craftiness that was...
I saw it over on Woodnet, it's a cool saw. It's very similar to a Disston No 5, which was sold mostly to the Brits, AFAIK. This is especially cool...
I've actually done this before. It seems to work but it doesn't solve smaller or larger hand, at least that was one issue I had when trying this....
Look up Jeff, his nickname is Redbeard. Good guy to know if you live near him. He does a fair amount of sawmill work. I have known him for a...
