    Here you go.. http://www.australiacouncil.gov.au/g...ur-application

    I reckon that once they have a handle on your project, and if they show a bit of a stiff spine, you could get a grant to rip your teeth into, and maybe win a medallion.. but beware of his nibs, no sense of pitch..

    Default Just do it

    We all tune and sharpen our planes so they "sing," so why not make your saws go bong? Keep it up, Paul.


    You could get some inspiration from Eve Kransky for your next video:

    I love the Kranskys!

    Anyone serious about saws and music should look into these.

    Surely Azo Bell would be a better choice for a musical saw player

    I couldn't find any frets on my saws, not even the fret saw. I'm thinking a saw with a thud may have some cracks or dents in the blade. Could be a good test next time I'm buying saws. Excuse me sir what notes is this saw tuned for?

    Thanks to Hiroller's link I found this amazing web page.. http://www.sawlady.com/DifferentSaws.htm

    The Sandvik Stradivarius...



    An Australian Century Musical saw , made in USA?


    Amazon has the Bahco Stradivarius ( but of course.... )

    http://www.amazon.com/BAHCO-296-Stra.../dp/B002IB1C6K


    Plenty more at the link above... is it just me, or does anyone else think they've stumbled into an alternate reality...

    Maybe you need to try using a bow on your bow saw.
