Oak Saw Till is finished
I French Cleated it to the wall and loaded it up with saws.
It is quarter sawn white oak with Red Oak panels - just what I had left over from other projects.
Now the saws are safe and learned some more techniques with drawers and wedged through tenons.

Yes, it is from the plans found on the second page of this thread:
http://sawmillcreek.org/showthread.p...ght=till+plans
With some suggestions from others, I changed from the weak dovetails on the top (weak because of grain direction). Then I went with all wedged through tenons to match.

You got to love it when a shop has a QSWO saw till....
Great job Brian.

Beautifully done!
But, there does not seem to be room for more saws? Another till? (grin)

That is a good looking till. Sometimes I wish I had wall storage like that.

Hi Brian,
Nicely done. I too want to make one. How did you finish the QS oak?

Actually, I filled every other slot with the saws I have now and left half of the spaces open for the future. You can see the extra slots on picture 4.Originally Posted by mike holden
Jim, I usually start with Danish Oil, but I was out. So I used what I had, which was 2 coats of de-waxed shellac and 1 coat of water-based wipe-on poly.

That's a beautiful saw till and marvelously executed. In my case, I have a problem with saw dust (a very small shop), and so I need doors... still looking.

Looking good ole man! What is the height about 4 foot or so I recon?

Looks somehow a bit familiar Brian. Great job.

That came out just beautiful Brian. I really like the paneled back and the through tenons detail.

Dang... that is one very nice saw till.
Actually, darn nice furniture being used as a saw till. If I ever made something that looked that nice it would be on my living room wall...

Brian,
Totally unrelated question...but do you use your compass saws? I've had one for years and I only used it once...very recently...like last night.
It's a Disston and I got it when I used to work construction because I was working a lot in the mountains and there wasn't always electricity or a generator...but no, the Dewalts always held their charge and the compass saw never got used.
If you do use them, what do you find them good for? Any special tuning up needed for fine work?
