working on a saw for a woodnetter, produced some quite exclusive firewood.

Been there, know the feeling, as in that sinking feeling in your stomach when you realize you're made an unrecoverable error on a piece you've been working on for a day and half. Sometimes the time investment is the biggest loss compared to the value of the material.

Whatever that might have been supposed to be, I wouldn't call it firewood. I would set it aside, let it stew, and someday the realization would come to me what it can be.

Pedder, yesterday I recieved an email from an English fellow toolmaker who had a bad day as well. His conclusion:
Those of us who don’t make mistakes, don’t make A lot of truth as I think...

This is my standard problem in saw making and the reason TLT exists. Klaus started saw handlemaking because I made this mistake a few times on his saw handle. Cheers Pedder

Why not use
- the wide slot for a thicker plate, (as needed for a compass saw or table saw) - the crooked slot for left-hand or right-hand offset handle, (wanted by some people who find that more comfortable)

One thing I've learned as a tool maker: destroy seconds. Destroy unperfect work. Otherwise it will come back to you one way or the other. Cheers Pedder

That's truly ironic Pedder: I went out to cut some fire wood and ended up with some fine art!
