Thanks

I have a look,but not sure,but I’m certain a gentleman in Queensland has a jar of saw nuts on his bench as we were just talking about it on the phone the other day, but I don’t won’t too dob in him.[emoji6]

Cheers Matt.

Hi Matt. Happy Christmas. Hopefully he reads this post! I was also thinking I could grind down a donor medallion to a plain flat brass circle.

MA,
I would hold off on such “Basterie” for a little bit.
(Be sides you will upset some folks here)

Cheers Matt.

Hey MA, let me know if you don't do any good with this. I might be able to knock up a black and gold one for you after my hols.

MA, I've got sore nuts, but I'm not sure of the size – a bit tied up this evening so will have a look muñana.

Hi P and FF. Thanks for your offers. Happy New Year to you both.

Ok, found the link to an ad I had in the middle of the year:
I've got Saw Nuts! Brass, 5 pairs, 2 different sizes, $25 a pair

I do have some spare saw screws as Matt has hinted, but no S & J medallions: Mainly Disston, Atkins and of course Simonds.

Sorry.

Paul

Thanks FF and Paul. FF, I assume the new nuts are gone. Not sure if it makes any difference Paul, but I am after Robert Sorby nuts not S + J. A bit more research on my behalf and it looks like they should be split nuts too. Amazingly I saw a similar saw, with rivets, advertised on "Worthpoint" for over $130.

Yes MA, I'm afraid they are. After sitting there for 6 months they got jumped on when I re-subscribed to the thread. There may be some other spare sets of them with other members – let me know if you can't get a result (I have a list of the people that purchased them from Ron Bontz)

In my post#9 I mistakenly said S & J instead of Rob't Sorby. Still the same for Sorby. If you just want saw screws and maybe a Warranted Superior medallion, I can help with that. Just let me know.

Regards
Paul
