So now it is time to work on my house. New windows and doors. My summer project. Oh boy what fun. :)

How can you stand being around such nice tools all day long? Or worse yet sending them away.

Those saw nuts are beautiful.

One of those on a saw would need to have a saw rack on the bench for fear of scratching it if it was lain on the bench.

Beautiful work as usual, Ron. Your website indicates no saws for sale, so it’s good to know they all have a happy new owner. Enjoy the summer!

James: it's easy. I have to pay for the materials I use. :)
Jim: The mother of pearl inlays are more durable than they look.
Phil: I had to stop taking "custom" orders for a while to remodel my house this summer and to take a break. I am always messing with something saw related it seems. Just retired from my real job, so looking at making some additions and/ or changes to saw making and woodworking in general. Time will tell.
