Coping Saw Identification
P1011763.jpg
With all the discussion on frame saws I took a look at my coping saw. I've had it for well over forty years and still reach for it automatically even though I have an Olsen. I've never bothered to see who made it as it did/does the job and I didn't want to embarrass it by asking for its parentage. However, it is made in Australia. The picture doesn't look good but it's the best I can get of the logo. Can anyone place it?Cheers,
Jim

I can't help you but there is a good chance the manufacturer is listed here:

thanks Hiroller, I had a look but I can't work out what the first letter is in the logo - I think the last two are J W.
Cheers,
Jim

Glad to be of help.
Any chance of a wider shot of the saw and handle?
It's not a brand I know.

Here it is Hiroller. Like I said, it's a workhorse and obviously so is the bench. It's not rust on it just years of linseed and sawdust.

In 2004 there was this thread ... https://www.woodworkforums.com/f13/be...ing-saw-11894/
I am waiting for one with a laser beam that won't require any tensioning ... but may well remove several of my fingertips

Bill,
there is a precedent..or is that a President ....
He has raised money for charity with his woodwork and art over the years.
