Thread: Sunday Round Table Jabber - Sunday evening all welcome

We discussed the subject of European hand saws and why we don't see many. I think part of the answer is that they didn't make many preferring the frame saw instead. Peugeot did make tools and saws (as well as cars). They commenced in 1810. These are a couple of extracts from a 1938 catalogue:

Peugeot frame saws 1938 1..jpgPeugeot frame saws 1938 2.jpg

Interestingly some of the blades are quite wide. Conjecture has been that it might not be possible to get sufficient tension with a cord.

I also misled you when I referred to H.Boker as being German. They were an American company. Possibly German origins.

Really interesting, Paul.

If you look at the Tage Frid videos you will see that he uses a broad blade (25 - 30 mm ??) when cutting straight lines and a narrow bladed (0.25 inches ??) bow saw when cutting curves. No idea if this relates to the tension in the string or inherent that the broaderer blade was stiffer. Like all of us, he used what worked for him.

One thing that intrigues me is the geographical distribution of saw types, including:

• Continental Europe tended to prefer the bow saw configuration,
• Anglo world (*) tended to prefer the hand held panel saw, and
• Japan preferred Japanes saws.

(* Anglo world = UK, USA, Canada, Australian New Zealand, etc)

Sunday night round table Jabber.


Tonight’s show, will include a public hanging!!
Public stoning, BYO stones, heathen bashing and how too get the best out of the Dremel multi tool.

All welcome Atheist included 7.30 ish start time.

Cheers Matt.
We may even have a side show on how too teach Matt to spell.

I will be involved with a video conference with my Veterans' knife making group this evening.

I was meant to be there in person this weekend helping to run a course but Covid got in the way.

The timing for that conference is flexible and depends upon when the knives are finished and the course ends.

If the new guys pick it up quickly they might finish up early and I might be able to make the the entire jabber.

Otherwise I might not make it at all, or just drop in for a quick visit. It is what it is.

If I'm not there by 7.30 feel free to start without me. Either way enjoy yourselves.

I need to get in on this. I just never remember that it is actually on. I'm already in front of the TV trying not think at all by then. Which I find is the natural outcome of watching TV but I digress.

Don't make any plans for the next few weeks, this will be a while yet.

Tomorrow night is Round Table Jabber again people’s.

7.30 ish start time.
