    Default Small Joinery Saws

    Hey everyone,

    I thought I would post a pick of two small joinery saws I finished up yesterday.

    One rip, one cross cut with Cocobolo handles, both 10" long. Patterned after my Moulson. Both 16 ppi.



    Take care, Mike

    Beautiful. I bet they cut as well as they look too.

    Beautiful pic, and beautiful tools.
    Those are my principles, and if you don't like them . . . well, I have others.

    Many thanks for the compliments everyone!

    It is fun work. A combination of woodwork, steel work and a bit of brass.

    Take care, Mike

    Hi Mike...beautiful work. How do you crimp the brass backs onto the blades?

    I'd like to make a set of saws like this someday-right after the set of infill planes.

    Mike, I stumbled across the write up on you in the OldToolsShop.com site

    Do you have a pic of the "Mubangu (Congo Teak)" handles?

    BTW, the saws are looking great.
    Cheers,
    Clinton

    Great work Mike.

    How about posting a tutorial on how to make them. Plenty of us would love to know how you go about it.

    Is there anything easier done than said?

    Crikey! I go to sleep and when I awake, there are all sorts of posts!

    Many thanks to all the kind comments!

    Let's see if I can answer the questions...I haven't had enough coffee yet...

    Greg. The brass is folded over onto itself and the blades are then installed. It is the spring of the brass which holds the blade in. We also have some backs as LN and Adria do them, which is solid brass bar that is cut with a slitting saw at the same thickness as the blades for that type of saw, anywhere from .018" to .030" thick of steel. Those backs, like LN/Adria, are epoxied on. We don't sell many that are this way.

    Clinton: Here's a picture of a kit made from Mubangu a customer sent to us:



    Leif Hanson has done a really good job of detailing how he goes about making backsaws--I wouldn't do as good a job.

    Take care, and thanks again for all the kind comments!

    Mike
