I'll be in central Ohio myself this week, but a little further south, in the Hocking Hills area. Any suggestions on good places to look around there? Thanks in advance for any tips.

As I understand it, the treasures were saved -- priests cleared them out as the building burned.

Thank you, this is exactly what I was looking for. Using the carpenter's rule trick I got it very close to 90 and 45 degrees. Close enough for me now, certainly.

As far as the drift on the saw, I...

Thanks for all the advice -- I'll probably try a few tweaks to improve things but I certainly won't expect perfection, particularly since the saw isn't original to the miter box. It's the right size,...

Fortunately not -- it was just extremely rusty and missing some parts. Vinegar took care of the first and another incomplete box the second.

Someone else broke this particular toy. I probably shouldn't have bought it in the condition that it was in, as it's been nothing but grief. But I've cleaned it up and got a saw for it, and am just...

After a copperhead bit both our dogs I've been less tolerant of them. Other snakes are okay, though I've been more careful to clear out the undergrowth since then so our yard is not very...

And thanks -- that's given me one idea. I can try turning the elevators 180° and see if it still drifts in the same direction. Sawing from the back instead of the front might let me figure out if...

Oh yeah -- the saw's not original to the box either.

So last night I tried to fettle my Millers Falls miter box and ran into a couple of issues. First I tried to calibrate the cutting angle at the 90° mark. I initially measured the angle of the saw...

Thanks for the advice. I did get some parts in the way you described, but I'm still missing one depth stop and one elevator stop. It's good to know that the elevator stops are flaky -- maybe that's...

It's been another 2.5 years so I guess it's time for another query -- anyone know of a source for elevator stops or depth stops? Vintage or newly manufactured, doesn't matter.

None of my other tools are shiny, so this way they match. :rolleyes:

Yeah, I'm glad I missed this too. I already spent enough at Ed's Tool Store in Pittsboro over the weekend.
