Happy Birthday to Me!!!!

[Mike Cogswell]

Last month I decided to take advantage of Mark's 4th of July sale on his excellent Bad Axe Tool Works saws and add one of his dovetail saws to the till.

Last Friday, after only four weeks, I received an email from Mark letting me know his was putting on the finishing touches and it would ship Monday. Excellent timing! It arrived today, on my birthday, a very happy birthday surprise indeed.

Like my previous Bad Axe Tenon and Sash saws, this little gem is a thing of beauty. Yeah, I know, it's a tool. A saw. Something to work with. But there's nothing that says we can't enjoy ourselves by indulging in a tool that is also a joy to behold. I took advantage of the many customizing options to have this 10" dovetail built to match its big brother 16" tenon saw: Black Pearl Nickel Plated sawback and split-nuts with a Black Walnut handle.

Tomorrow I'll shovel some of the debris out of the shop and take it for a spin. Then I'll post some pictures and a first impression. I also need to do a follow-up on the other saws now that their first anniversary is coming up.

What a great birthday!

Happy Birthday Mike! I know you like small planes so in addition to the saw I hope you get yourself something that is both cute and handy!

I have been studying on a Bad Axe miter box saw for my Stanley 150 miter box. First I will have to see how good the saw is when the box & saw arrive. Congrats!

When I see your name I always think of Cogswell Cogs and Spacely's Sprockets....

:LOL: Never heard that before . . .

Yesterday morning the starter at the golf course, knowing I'm retired, asked if George had retired too since he hadn't George's name in a while. It took me a few seconds to make the connection, but I told him I wouldn't know about George - he worked for one of my competitors.
