A rainy Saturday, Catching up on some watch-strap leather work and shoe-heel rubber work. A nice cutting edge gets 90% of the trimming done,  then I'll move to power sanding equipment.

Good Observations, Sir I also find the Bailey pattern frogs work really nice if I set them to make a continuous "ramp" from the frog through the plane base.   That is, I position my frog a bit back...

Post: RE: Fret saw
It's perfect !!! When I cut guitar fret slots this year, I was so relieved to use a thin pull-saw rather than a power tool.

Here, a Dremel cut-off wheel might be a good friend,  if you mind the temperature to avoid "losing the temper". The hardened part of the blade near the cutting end will not draw-file.   For a vinta...
