plans/scale outline of a saw handle

[Zahid Naqvi]

I have a gents saw that I plan to convert into a dovetail saw with an open handle, along the lines of Adria (http://www.adriatools.com/handsaw/dt_zoom.html). Anyone have scale drawing or outline of this handle or similar.

thanks

Hi Zahid,

Cicking the image below will open a PDF. Grid is 1/4", but if you just cut it out after printing you can trace onto you handle wood. Make the thickness of your blank to fit, but I usually use 13/16" finished thickness for a DT saw. Some like a full 7/8".

Take care, Mike
