So today I've painted the 'secret' possible clock if i don't mess up putting the mech in.

 

 

 

Cut out another two handles ready for routing. And made this little pen holder for my farther in law from some off cuts.

 

 

 

My thinking that if the handles die down i can pop a few of these out as he works for Massey so plenty of potential lol

 

 

 

It isn't ready yet as I'm waiting for the glue to set and then oil up👍

Just received these to make handles for!! The bottom one is a beast lol.

 

Now i haven't and wont use them for cutting etc as these will be wall hangers. But from the build quality of these saws and how much they cost I'm quite miffed at the lack of thought and design.

For example the top saw only has one bolt at the front yet u can peel the rubber away from the back👎

It also doesn't sit in the scabbard properly and will easily come out again 👎

The bottom saw handle is like the Natanoko but does have a bolt at the end of the handle. Over all a nice looking /in the hand handle. But is let down by the colour of the scabbard and built quality. I know the colour is a personal thing, but why produce a sub standard scabbard for an expensive and great looking/feeling saw??

 

I cant wait to finish my current orders off and crack on with these!

My bench sander arrives today so will crack on this weekend to finish the current 3handle off
