Rob,
You cite your previous rasp making post.
Could you post a link?
Cheers,
Luke

I rough the outer profile of my handles using my bandsaw and for the inner I use my scrollsaw. I do the rest of the shaping with rasps or files. I use templates for laying out the handles and find that they really help a lot. The last time I made up blanks I did nearly sixty in a day.

I'd been waiting to get one of these on a deal and I recently picked this one up on eBay. Truly marvelous tool, excellent in both finish and function.

I snapped this just before another torrential rain caused me to cease work on the fourth D-8. I'm sure that the coming drought will be just as extreme as the current deluge.Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

What seems to be missing when I compare my own list of tools I use for making back saw handles is good assortment of woodwork carving knives.

I was going to boast that I use way fewer tools for handle making, Rob, but thinking it through, I still use a lot when you consider the entire process. You haven't shown any saws for cutting the slots, just the 'cat's paw' for deepening?
I'm in the middle of finishing a couple of saws right now, so I'll lay out my handle-making tools in the morning & get some pics to add to the display...
Cheers,IW

The handles on the Veritas are very small, and the hex (and longer) handles look to be much more useful than those on the Veritas (which look to be sized for asthetics and not ergonomics).

Sorry, thought I had posted the saw making saws. Here they are. Top to bottom are the 0.015", 0.025" and 0.035" blade slot cutting saws.
