Hi all! I'm not really a Neander but I do admire the tools & techniques used by Neanders. I picked this saw up at an auction last year - I think I paid around $5 for it :D Sorry the pics not the best.
I have not been able to find too much info on this saw - some generic Wm. Tyzack info. It's was made in sheffield Eng. & man does it feel nice to hold. I think it needs a good sharpening but that's going to wait till I can spare the $$. I would appreciate if anyone knows any info about the saw & whether it's worth any real $$ - If it is I might have to start calling myself a collector ;)
I also picked up a bunch of other stuff at the same auction for good prices. I got an older stanley miter saw box (the metal one), A couple of #4 planes, a stanley#90 marking gauge, 2 rabbitting planes, a couple of egg beater drills and a few other odds & ends.
I never wanted to post on the neander forum of the pond because I really don't know much about it - but I figured I'd go ahead here while it's still small - besides I want to get to 30 posts so I can get promoted in member status :p
