My latest project in the shop is an attempt to put together a saw from an old saw plate.
A recent post made me think about putting a little fleam on what was going to be a straight rip. Figuring it can always be redone if it doesn't suite my needs.
Also have seen some people's posts on putting a kerf in a piece of wood to use as a guide when filing fleam on teeth. That didn't want to work for me.
So, hunt down some scraps of wood, hacksaw blade, screw, winged nut, washer and voila here is my Saw Fleam Bevel Gauge:
221336
The other side has a kerf to sit on a saw blade:
221335
The strange thing about this story is I have not been able to use it of yet. Just when it was finished I thought it would be good to take a couple of pictures. So I started toward the house to get the camera and the lights went out. Two hours later when the lights came back on other things were on my mind. Finally did go take a couple of pictures and I will get to give it a whirl tomorrow.
