+1 for the Franklin. In terms of time and frustration saved per $ spent it’s a no brained.

Hi Bruce - I’m fairly certain the the Brisbane show is the only one going ahead this year.

Simon Barley’s book “British Saws and Sawmakers from 1660” gives a date range for the Sheffield Works of 1856-1931. It also shows a set of back stamps that looks the same as your saw, but without the...

I think you’ll find it’s actually London Spring?

Nice saw

The first one is Charles Taylor’s “Screw” Brand.

Not sure about No.3

Looks like a “sash pocket” chisel.

Hi Eski, yes it’s all sold.

Hi section1 - Ian had already vouched for these so if your request is from the perspective of a potential purchaser I will respectfully decline. I did consider selling this individually or as smaller...

Sale pending to member aarggh (Ian)

Thanks,

Hi, I’m having a bit of a clean up and have a bulk lot of old hand tools to let go. This includes 29 moulding planes and a few other wooden planes, 14 wooden screw clamps, a bench vice, a mitre jack,...

I’d like this please if available, I have sent a PM.

Rarest of the Rare WHEELER MADDEN & CLEMSON Star Saw

I knew I'd seen one of these before, but the Simonds...

This saw is an "Orsa". It's a Swedish saw. If you google around you should be able to find some more info. Hope this helps.

Is it my imagination or is there a huge snake under that log?!

That's it [emoji3]

If you google "saw wrest" you'll find plenty of pics/info.

It's a gents saw minus the saw plate. (I think)

Hi Alex

I had this problem yesterday and this morning, but it now seems to have resolved itself with no action on my part.

This is what I was seeing yesterday:

That is some very impressive work, love the saw handles.

You don't do house calls do you? I'm not sure how this happened but I seem to have acquired a bit of a backlog of saws to fix...

I picked up an interesting saw recently.

The medallion is a Warranted Superior that is blank in the middle. The handle looks quite similar to a Disston No.7 but with no lambs tongue and it is a...

Wow, thanks guys, I really appreciate that.

The etch on my saw looks like the illustration in the ad from the Argus in '56. The saw itself looks to be the same as the one in the cabinet at the...

OK so this saw won't win any beauty contests, and features the most random and crude bunch if fasteners I've seen on a saw for a while, but thought this might be of interest to somebody. It had me...

Thanks Stewie, Hi Paul

Yes, I have been wondering about that. I'm going to try to remove the handle, although with the amount of rust on the plate I don't know how easy it will be. It will be...

PS - Here is the saw... Obviously still a bit of work to be done...

Thanks for posting this Stewie.

I recently bought a few interesting looking handsaws in varying states of neglect. I gave a couple an exploratory rub with some wet & dry yesterday to try to...

Spot on Paul. Even without any cleaning the etch is quite clear... Except for the model number... However with a bit of squinting (and now knowing what I was l looking for) I can definitely make out...

Thanks Paul, very interesting and quite timely. Just this week I picked up a Simonds saw, the medallion dates it to the third period you describe. It's a 5ppi rip saw:

Thanks gents, I stand corrected, I think you have both got it right. A rough calculation of density based on one board gave 450 kg/m3, which seems too light for Vic ash but about right for meranti.

I picked up some timber off the verge, I think it's Vic Ash? The first photo shows it with the old finish. I took some of the finish off and the third photo is the best representation of the actual...

Have you looked at oregon (Douglas fir)? Widely available as reclaimed beams/posts and can be had with some nice grain - either straight/regular or more interesting depending on which way it is cut.

Thanks tdrumnut.

In terms of making a new top from planks, would the best option be to make a single top and then cut the extensions off each end or cut first and then make the main top and the...

Thanks for the opinions, I'm going to strip it on the weekend and see what is under all that paint.

Thanks Hezza & JJF

I saw this table in the local hard rubbish and thought it looked too nice to go to landfill. It's approximately 900mm square, with extension pieces that slide out at each end about 300mm long. The...
