Hi Creekers,
the last week (and this one), my office hasn't seen me http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowsmile.gif. I needed a few days to relaxe. The best relaxation to me is to do something in my shop.
Since there was a backlog on handle making, I had the chance to reduce it a bit. But there were a few additional things I wanted to make for a longer time as I needed to make a saw till for my shop and I wanted -finally- to make a prototype of a Halfback saw. A few vintage saws needed some attention, too. The restoring of a D-20 handle I showed in another thread already.
Sawtill:
As usual, I took only left overs and scrap pieces for the till. The whole shop furniture is made this way. The drawers still have to be completed. They are in progress.

Here it's mounted already.

The Halfback prototype:
The blade is a left over. It was one I tested the taper grinding on a stroke belt sander with. The process caused some bad scratches so this blade was just handy for a prototype. It`s toothed to 10 TPI x-cut, the blade length is 17". The Pear handle was done in a traditional based design with some details we use on other saws to keep the "corporate identity" http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowsmile.gif

Right now Pedder and I are discussing the saw. Maybe it will get a very other design or we will make two types of Halfbacks, we'll see.
One last word to the saw till. Yes, it has limited space and no, there's no chance to make a larger one. This one got literally the last piece of wall space in my little shop. It shall store only the user saws. So more users I'm not allowed to have http://www.forums.woodnet.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yellowbiggrin.gif
Cheers
