    Sawtill finished

    Finally am putting the final touches on my new sawtill.

    The carcass is cherry ply with cherry face frames and doors.
    The swingouts are maple ply with birch frames.

    This is going to take me awhile to fill!

    Thanks for taking a look. (sorry about the pic quality)

    SOMEONE is on a backsaw slippery slope

    Nice Till
    I think it is better to make something with modest tools and do your best, then to have great tools and do nothing.... how do you know what you can do if you don't try...Mark Singer

    Modest tools and a lot of wood

    NOW I know what a Sawtill is. I had pictures in my head of some rototiller blade shaped contraption, that your saws hooked into, for ripping multiple strips of boards at the same time.

    Looks good.

    I don't know whether I'm drooling over the saws or the casework...both are gorgeous!

    That is beautiful. I primarily run tailed tools but have a few fine hand tools. They have special homes but nothing that compares to your piece. Very, very nice.

    Looks like someone has a backsaw problem!! Very nice Gary I don't think it will take you too long to fill it.

    For the saws, YOU SUCK!

    For the till...Well, you'd get a "you suck" if you had bought it. Instead, You get me most heartfelt admiration for an excellent job
