curly walnut carcass - RonB1957 - 06-07-2023 Haven't posted much, with regard to saws. I have been busy installing new windows and doors in my house as well as wiring, etc. etc. All that fun stuff. So I took the time to make a carcass saw for a return customer from almost 10 years ago. Wow, how time zips by. I also have been working on that folded back project from many moons ago that just kept getting pushed aside. So now, finally, I am able to make some stainless and other steel folded backs. Still needs refining, but I am working on it. If I am lucky, I may even finish my house by the time I am 90 y/o.

The fixture was originally designed for a smaller press, but it just didn't have the tonnage required to compress the stainless backs to the radius intended. Soooo had to do a little modification. Would've liked to have gotten a bigger and better one, but then I already have a lack of space. ( and budget ) "Coming soon to a theater near you". Well, maybe. Time will tell. 20230604_210846 by Ron Bontz, on Flickr RE: curly walnut carcass - FrankAtl - 06-07-2023 Beautiful saw Ron! RE: curly walnut carcass - MarkSingleton - 06-07-2023 Very , very , nice.

RE: curly walnut carcass - Pedder - 06-08-2023 The saw is berautiful as allways, Ron, but I can't wait to see the folded Steel ones! Take Care, Pedder RE: curly walnut carcass - Arlin Eastman - 06-08-2023 Very nice saw. I have alot of crotch walnut that I was going to use for bowls/platters.  Maybe I should send you and Pedder some for saw handles.
