I thought I’d share this nice dovetail saw I picked up recently. Its in lovely condition and cuts nicely. The user made Mahogany sheath was a...
Superb saws the pair of them. If I found one in the same condition as either of these it would have a partner for life. Well for my life at least.
Lovely early saw Joe, thanks for sharing it.
Another recent find is this 26" saw marked Jameson & Co. There only seems to be one Jameson listed in BS&SM and that is Caleb Jameson who was a...
I found this little square amongst a lot of engineering tools I bought recently. In 1880, J Grant has made a lovely job of making a small...
I bought this 8", 20 TPI saw a while back, Its in lovely condition and has a very thin plate which makes it a great saw to use for cutting fine...
Hi Kerry and welcome. I'd say your saw dates from 1900-1910. The book 'British saws and Saw makers from c1660' has your medallion with 'trade...
Thanks for the comments and Thanks for the pointer on a steel supplier Ray. I'll give them a call and let you know how I get on. Cheers Rob
I picked up this little back saw a few weeks back, it's marked Cotton and Johnson whom I'm guessing would be a tool retailer as they are not in...
Today I put the saw back together and put some set into the teeth. I always start of with a small amount of set and increase it as necessary....
I have now filed the plate flat and clamped it up in my saw vice behind the cut off section which I am happy to use as a template as the original...
Thanks for the tips gents. I opted to use a thin cut off wheel as I don't have a Dremel. A single light pass and it folded off nicely. I'm going...
Unfortunately the crack is all the way through the plate, its 1/2 " above the the tooth line just forward of the handle and shows up as a fine...
I bought a box of tools today and in it was this very large steel backed tenon saw. After a quick scrape and light rub down of the spine I was...
Nice job Kiwi, time to get looking for the next abused patient to benefit from your talent.
Thanks Ray, that makes sense.
I was given this saw today, it's a 26", 4 TPI rip saw from ( I'm guessing) mid 19th century. it's stamped Rownson and Drew who (according to...
Thanks again Fred, it seems that as more of these saws turn up we will find more odd adornments to what we thought were standard markings. This is...
Thanks for that Fred, I did look at this thread and I think that is the same Canadian saw that Simon used for an example in BS&SM. There is a...
I spotted this saw today amongst some tools for sale, judging by the narrow depth of plate, it's had a hard working life but I thought it is a...
