Saw handle templates - MauleSkinner - 04-03-2016
I've got this Master Mechanic back saw that I bought twenty-something years ago. Yeah, it sucked!
It was also the first saw that I reshaped teeth and sharpened a few years back, and it actually cuts quite well. The problem, which I'm sure you can see, is the handle is very uncomfortable.
A search for saw handle templates brings up lots of stuff...what would be appropriate for this saw? It's got a 14" plate, and about 3 1/2" depth of cut.
Thanks!
David

That's one of the sites I found...but how does one decide which to try.

Isaac Smith at Blackburn Tools also has saw handle templates available online. He has even developed difference sizes of each handle style to fit large or small hands.

Yeah, there are a lot of choices, aren't there? I would start with the simpler Disston patterns for the length of saw you have. They're comfortable designs, and they're not too complicated to make.

Thanks Dom...I'll give that a try.

Sorry to both of you! Guess I only looked at the color on the screen name, and didn't read.
