I asked for a quote on a pre toothed plate. But if it comes down to toothing I have done it one time which turned out quite all right. Now I am rather keen on basing the "new" saw on Smith's key.

Yes I am well satisfied with that. Exactly Paul, that is a refund in full :-)

I asked to seller for a partial refund and he escalated the case to customer support who decided to issue me a curtesy refund, so now I have contacted Klaus and Pedder for a new plate.

Thanks so...

The seller will only offer a full refund as he says the post must have damaged the saw and that it was fine before he send it. I have to cover the return postage whack seems a bit unfair since he was...

Thank you so much for the answers my friends. I always like to come this forum people have always been very kind and helpful.

I have contacted the seller now to see what he has to say about it.

The spine seemed straight when I looked. And can confirm that when I get back in a week's time.

Vann and Ray are correct, the crease is about 1" from the tooth line. Right now I am away on holiday but I will try to take some better photos when I come back. I have a bad one taken with my webcam....

I recently bought an older backsaw on ebay, nothing fancy but looked like a good user. However to my disappointment the plate has a kink along the entire length. I haven't contacted the seller yet,...

Thanks for the suggestions. It's a combination coarse/fine and I bought it since it was supposed to be flattened very seldom, but now it has cupped ever so slightly which makes it rather useless for...

Does anyone know the best way to flatten an india oilstone? I have tried sandpaper on a piece of float glass, but I just seem to stone the particles of the paper.

Thanks for the answers. We will look at these and try to figure out to mount one.

Hello

That is indeed very nice. Since I don't have a FB account anymore I can't see all the albums. Is there by any chance more pics of the tool box?

Will do. Now I need to get my hands on a battery charger since I'm keen to try out electrolysis.

It is indeed a german style saw set. Mostly used on low tip saws. We have a bunch of them at the danish shipwright school. I have a far easier time using a Somax but one of my fellow students really...
