Eric,
This was the action shot - Dominic with one of his small card scrapers!
Dom - very nice rehab. Handle looks stunning.

Dom, you've definitely raised the bar on restorations. Is that a 4" or 5" saw plate? The proportions look nice.

Dominic. I blogged about this 2 days ago. It happes often when I build a saw. It usually means a bit of adjustment to mortice or groove. Or starting all over if it is too bad.
Blog adres is below.

If this was a newly made handle I'd say you nailed it. But this is an old handle that I just refinished.
HOWEVER, Stewie, you and Issac bring up a good point. There has got to be some wood movement or interference involved here. Maybe even a scrap of debris in the slot? I didn't really check it close enough. As soon as I get a chance I'm removing the saw plate and checking. I'll report back.

Nice job Dominic!
I was just thinking about this saw last weekend. I saw a Richardson Bros handle and that made me think of your saw.

Dom,
Sorry, I was on my break.
I agree with both Isaac and Stewie. One more thing to check.... remove the handle and check to make sure the blade is in line with the back as the blade extends down below the back. To check this, clamp the back in a drill press vise or some other way to hold the back square to a flat surface, with the blade pointing upward. Then check both sides of the blade with a square to see if the blade leans to one side. Sometimes you will even discover a twist in the blade.
If the blade is not in line with the back, when you tighten the cheeks, they will try to line the blade up with the back. Try using only the screws through the cheeks and not the screw through the back. If the back and the blade are out of alignment, that upper screw is working against the lower screws.

Dom ......... Great job on the resurrection, that turned out really nice. I actually like the dark handle with all the steel, nice contrast.
Thanks for sharing.
