You have surpassed yourself on this one. Outstanding.

Hi

Thank you for the kudos, very appreciated.

Rod, we don't own a milling machine. The oval is filed from square stock by (Klaus') hands. Time consuming! :wink:

Karl, your blades and splines were sent to Klaus today.

Ed the price is 50% more than the "standard saw". It takes about that amount of time more to make...

Cheers Pedder

Something to declare Karl?!

Very nice, thanks for showing us. Drooling again and I don't even like dark handles

Is the slight front overhang of the brass backs just a signature of your (plural) work or does it serve purpose in your saws?

Pedder - yet again droolsome photo's of exquisitely crafted toolery. The sort of thing that gives inspiration to many, surely not just those who aspire to creating their own tools, but also to those who enjoy using such items.

May I ask a question though? - Without a milling machine, how do you cut the slot in the brass spline to fit the blade? I ask mainly because I would like to make my own saws, and certainly have neither the space/funds/experience to run a milling machine....

Cheers,
Adam

Hi Adam, thats a fair question. Klaus made the first spines with a handrill. But now we buy ready milled raw splines.

Cheers Pedder

Bravo guys...a masterpiece!!!

The front overhang of the spine is just a point of visual balance. The saw has a light weighted spine with the depth of 16 mm. The oval shape reduces the weight another 20 %. So it´s possible to give this little overhang without impacting the functional balance of the saw. A saw with coarser toothing and heavy spine will not get a spine overhang because the balance will be not optimal. A heavy spine should be tapered and made without overhang to improve the functional balance of the saw.

As Pedder wrote, we get now the spine blanks ready slotted. The oval shaping is made by hand. The filing takes time. I doubt if it´s possible to mill the oval shape because the matching of the spine to the front of the cheeks has to be made individually for each saw. Regarding this the high end design with flush mounted oval spine takes a lot extra time to be made.

If I sold the wife, the two cats and kept the dog....and the budgie ( going cheap! :roll: ) I reckon I could get one of these....

Mmmmm!

That is quite a saw!!! Who is the lucky one, or did you build that on spec?
