Ron's saws are tedius, boring, and lack creativity.




(said no one, ever! )

Gorgeous work, Ron! Here's a suggestion - You, Isaac, and a couple of the other sawmakers here should each send in one of your signature saws to a photographer and have a professional level poster made of them all together. That'd be something I'd want to hang near my saw till.

Taking a break from the dungeon. Decided to throw a Tiger into the mix. 12" x 2" dovetail, 15ppi 8* rake, 0* fleam. Long story short. I had a couple of messed up 12" X 0.020" plates. So I nipped them off. One became a couple of scrapers. The other begged for mercy. So it became a dovetail. That's all. I promise. Should I make more of these?


At some point I hope to post a video of how I test my saws. I have made a couple of videos that didn't turn out so well. Seems some dummy forgot about the vibration rasping a handle causes while the camera is sitting on the work bench. OOps! Looked like an earth quake hit.

Bump for Ron.
...Naval Aviators, that had balz made of brass and the size of bowling balls, getting shot off the deck at night, in heavy seas, hoping that when they leave the deck that the ship is pointed towards the sky and not the water.

Wow, that half back is spectacular! I must admit I don't care for the toe on the dovetail spine, but the handle is as nice as they come. Thanks for showing us!

My sentiments exactly. I always look forward to your pic posts!
