Old Butcher's Meat saws.....seen almost in every garage sale/antique shop.....
371386
Had a few too many of these, just hanging around. had some leftover 1 x 4 Hard Maple...hmmm
371387
I did have to go out and buy:eek: a 2' length of 5/16" all-thread, a wing nut, and a washer...
371388371389
But these parts here came from the Butcher saws. Blade is 18" long, with 11 ppi crosscut teeth.
371390
Works great as a crosscut saw....with no tearout on the backside of the cut..
371391
There is only one wingnut to tighten the saw with..
371392
The other end of the all-thread is folded into a mortise, to keep from twisting..
371393
About maybe $5 in parts....couple of hours "play time" in the shop, while watching the washer....
