Hello - I've just joined this forum and it looks good.
I've explained in my introduction that I have been making a traditional chair from one of our own beech trees using antique hand tools without the use of electricity.
We used a two handed saw to drop the tree and subsequently used a Disston "Great American" hand saw to convert the timber into usable pieces. Does anyone know more about these saws and if they are still being made?
I have drawn a blank so far on this one!
Regards,
Allan
