Thread: Autumn classics

Thank you for looking.

Thanks for sharing. You do great looking work.

Wow the set has gone to different homes or the same home?

They all went to the same gentleman.

Hi Isaac

Your work has become sublime. The combination of materials, design and workmanship is at the top of the class. Really.

You must be proud! I love the detail in every aspect! Really cool projects! Well done.

Once again Isaac, another outstanding set of saws. Always good to see your new stuff.

Thanks Stewie for the "welcome". I'm still trying to figure out what I'm doing and how this forum works. It's much easier to file a saw than learning how these forums work.

I like using saws but I have no idea about how to make one. Where do I start?

Marv, oh gawd, you here too! The forum is definitely going downhill.

Heh .. heh.

Welcome!

If you're like me, you need to spend several years reading about it first. If you really want to to learn, then just start doing it. Here are a few good sites to get you started, though.

Hey Derek....

I especially like all the great smiley faces here.

Hi Isaac. Of note on your site you have preference to use 0.015" and 0.018" saw plate for your backsaws up to a limit of 2 inches in depth. For deeper saw plate's that preference changes to 0.020" and 0.025". For the benefit of new backsaw makers, what are the concerns with using the lighter gauge saw steel on depths of plate above 2 inches.
