[QUOTE=pmcgee;
It may have gotten a little out of hand, from there ... perhaps ...
I started getting interested in Atkins and Simonds precisely because they weren't talked about that much.
And GH Bishop, Richardson, Harvey Peace, Woodrough & McParlin, Wheeler Madden & Clemson, Sheffield Saw Co, Columbia Saw Co, ...
And english saws, although they were often harder to purchase (from the UK) than the US ones. But the handles!!! Oh my.
And I've bumped into a few of the early quite special American saw makers like Bakewell, Holyroyd, ...
And then there's technically interesting saws from Andrews, and Holden patent handles ...
I missed the part where restraint came in to it .

I'm trying to find a thread I started ... maybe in another section. I thought it was "Saw Drawers".
It is becoming a pressing issue soon.
But in the mean time I am still gaga over the chest I reconstituted. It hasn't been moved from feb 2014 to now.
The bare saw blades started clean and have been there at least a year, unprotected a few cms away.

Is that Sir Paul Gaga and are you related to any well known ladies of a similar name?
I was looking at that chest of saws (sounds like or is similar to a chest of drawers) and finding myself quite inexplicably drawn towards towards that grouping. I think if I was not really careful I could head down your slippery slope.
Coincidentally, I have planned for the remainder of the afternoon the build of another two or three storage crates that might be suitable for things like handsaws for example.
Just in case.

I should be more consistent with my language ... Mark.1 Saw Draws
Rob ... if anyone had of asked me, I would have assumed most were. Not that I'd know from measuring - just assumption.
I know they had those large, exploding grind stones in Sheffield (and later in the US), but not consciously a date range.
It would be very interesting to go through and look at tension and taper by make, model and age - but it will have to wait a while.
I need to make me some saw draw/ers very soon.
I'm facing some rumblings that won't be ignored.
Cheers,
Paul

Paul,
I think I've got it figured out for the US at least. The history of taper grinding of saw blades

Here's an additional storage option. I think you'll need quite a few of them though.

Hello all,
I too have the odd saw or two that needs to be stored somehow, not only to protect them, to show them off but also to separate them into their types, and to transport them.
I've made up a couple of simple tills but have also made up a box, similar to an old training school picture where the blades were protected within the box and
the saws were grouped as rip and cross cut.
Another type of combined storage/transport till was an upgrade of Craig from Canberra's suit case.
I have found old cases to be great for all sorts of tool storage including saws.
Hope the following pictures are of help
Graham.

Graham
Some good ideas there. I particularly like the suitcase for transportation. I may need one with wheels though!
