Your Attention Please , Your Attention

Saturday 6th April 2019

Me ,myself and Sal, will be running a saw handle making day demo thingy.
From the steel palace in our backyard.

Numbers are limited to 10 participants .
The scoop of the day is ,you arrive by 10 am and hopefully by days end you have a new saw handle
Simple.

Details:

We live in the sunny sometimes, country town of Ballarat ,Victoria.

10am sharp start time.

You need to provide your own materials ,we will not be providing materials.

Plus ,your own basic tool kit.
Hand files, rasps, chisels ,sandpaper’s.
Tho ,I have some if you don’t have everything (we will get you there)
We can discuss this more as the thread developers.
But ,we will provide supplements(food and drinks , (not the alcoholic kind).
We will also help with the rough cutting of your saw handle (Bandsaw disk sander)and guidance if needed.

This is for anyone who wants to sit down for a leisurely Saturday and knock out a saw handle .
You may be a seasoned professional having done dozens already , or you may have never made a saw handle or tool in your life.
It doesnt matter, for the less experienced makers amongst you , i will provide my limited ability and experience in helping you, but this is not to say I’m a professional saw handle maker lol.
But ,I’ve done a couple!

I’m no longer making saws.
https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?sha...7&share_type=t

The day will be based around our very large out door table(your work station for the day)
So ,if your new ,help will not be far away you probably won’t even need to get out of your chair.

I would suggest if your new to saw handle making ,to choose a open grip type handle.
(There generally easier, has basically they have less timber than a closed saw handle).
Or ,to find an old saw that needs a new handle made for it.

Those wanting to really dip there toe in tool making ,would be advised to obtain a saw plate ,saw back if you want a back saw ,plus saw nuts.
Bring along your chosen bit of timber and get into it.

Cheers Matt.
First in first served.

I reckon something like what you showed me on Saturday, though it does look difficult. Could you send me a link to the saw blade you showed me as well?

Benny.
The link
Black burn tools.
Blackburn Tools - Simply Classic

Look for there Australia distributor under contact us.

I wouldn’t say making a saw handle is a five minute job.
But like a lot of wood working stuff it’s a lot of little steps one at a time.
If you can’t see what you want or $$ is tight Benny shoot me a Pm.
I’m sure I can find some stuff to get you small saw started.

Cheers Matt,
Pinched this shot from google if this pic is yours thank you.

My calendar is full for that date, which is probably good as my neck and shoulder is sore enough without any additional sore making

**Bushmiller** · 30th January 2019, 08:50 AM

I would love to attend this one, but I have checked the roster and it is not possible. Why I say I would like to attend is because I have a small list of saws I wish to make up. I will show them here because it may give an idea for the more adventurous:

The first is Woodrough McParlin's classic Panther head saw featured on their No.12 model. Note that the handle is carved both sides:

The second is a Wheeler Madden & Clemson No.25 version of the thumbhole saw:

Wheeler Madden and Clemsen 1877 catalogue No.25 Double Hole.jpg

and the third is a "toolbox" saw, which is a full size 26" handsaw with the handle let in so the overall length is contained to 26". Nearly all the major manufacturers had one of these: Disston, GH Bishop, Atkins too, I think. This is the Simonds version: The No.56.

Arguably not all for the beginner

.

This link may also be of use for handle templates from the TGIAG (Two Guys In A Garage) website:

https://www.tgiag.com/saw-handle-scans.html

Print them full size and you have a classic handle right there for your use.

All the best for the workshop. It will be a goodun' .

Regards
Paul

Edit: I added the panther head patent details (now expired

) for the brave.

Does that make you a saw loser?

Sorry to hear of your discomfort. Aches and pains should be banned.

Paul

Thanks Paul,
For chipping in and thanks for the link to the saw handle templates.

Note point anyone wanting to attend and make a quick buck.
I may have a buyer in Queensland for a saw handle if you can carve a kitty cat on the front.[emoji6]

Cheers Matt.

I will be there as a participant if you will have me. Jools will probably be with me and can keep Sally company for the day.

I have half a dozen saws "in progress" at various stages from component parts to advanced planning so not sure what I will be working on the day but it will be something.
