New Toys, not Festool and I can't find the on/off switch.

[Ed Bray]

My New toys arrived this morning. :lol:

Now, I just need to learn how to use them.

 

[marcros]

what is the lower blade for ed?

 

[Ed Bray]

I wondered if anyone would ask, I asked Shane to make me a blade which has exactly the same teeth/kerf as the Dovetail Saw, for this:

[marcros]

it is a nice idea. A beautiful saw by the way- heirloom stuff.

I think it has an elbow switch.
As Marcross said it's surely an heirloom, probably cost as much as one with a switch,
But what craftsmanship!

Definitely a lot better than the one in the video.

Brass backed with white plastic handle ???

 

[marcros]

Ah but the quality is appreciated long after the price is forgotten.

Did you not fancy a matching handle for the marker?

It didn't really occur to me to ask, I'll just have to fashion my own (Now where can I find a small bit of rosewood?).

Lovely Ed!

Imagine this. You're in a workshop with Rob Cosman, standing at adjoining benches, and you're both just finishing the dovetailing for a drawer.

Now, with your dovetails on the bench, and his dovetails on the bench, would you still feel inclined to lean across and say "Rob, I think you might do a lot better if your saw had a proper rosewood handle"?

Having watched his videos I can categorically state that Rob Cosman cuts dovetails faster and better than me, having seen his tools I can categorically state that Shane Skelton makes much better saw handles than Rob Cosman (probably a better saw all round but I have never actually touched either, my steel backed Tyzak works for me).
