I've started to make these flush cut saws. The 0.020" thick spring steel blade is sharpened for a pull cut on both edges, with teeth set in only one direction to prevent scratching of the wood surface. 

This one shown in the photos is the prototype. It has a figured walnut handle and brass split nut fasteners.

After a warm reception from customers, I made some refinements to the design and ordered enough material to make fifty more. The first few will have quartersawn walnut handles. I haven't decided on the wood for the rest, but have a number of species to pull from.

If you are interested in one, send a message through the contact form on the Loon Lake Tool Works website.

That looks terrific. I've e been trying to get my wife to think about letting me build some small storage cabinets for our kitchen, but she's stuck in the original configuration. Still working on it. Any tips would be appreciated.

Tips?  Not much, I'm afraid...

Hopefully you married up.  I did!  
  That makes it easier.

There was just a little bit of room where i put these, like I mentioned it was where we used to have a wine fridge.   Those never seem to last, I've given up on them.  Originally the spot was designed as a spot for a small table for the land line phone and answering machine, when those were still a thing.  Making the lower free-standing instead of a built-in unit means it can be moved and used elsewhere if needed.   It's only 6-8 screws holding the upper in place, easy to remove also.

20 years ago was the best time to buy the wood.  This would probably have cost me about $400-$500 at today's prices, instead of the $100 it did.  I ended up having to buy 1 sheet of 3/4" birch plywood for the shelves and misc. parts.  I was lucky to still have some 1/4" hickory ply left over and 5 or 6 hickory boards left from the original build also.   

The two doors on the upper cabinet I actually made 20 years ago - and found I'd read the wrong side of the tape and made them too narrow for the cabinet(s) they were originally meant for.  They've been sitting on top of the hickory pile since then.  I made this upper cabinet to fit them.

As a departure from the furniture I usually post, a few tools made in the past 18 months ...

Dovetail saw - 17 tpi, 5 degrees rake, Fiddleback Jarrah handle ...






A 15-degree bed, block plane-sized BU smoother for the tiny sections. Just a wonderful user ...



Plane hammer ...

Again, lovely work as usual! BTW, did you also do all the metal work on those tools?

Hi Doug

I do what metal work I can (brass sides for a plane is straight forward when it is soldered and not dovetailed). Some is not worth doing (I purchased the saw back, but I could make it if needed). And re-purpose what can be re-purposed (the hammer an old one and reshaped at one end and a Delrin cap added).
