Ah, Laddie, have ye learned nothin' from
this list?
Every good galoot knows that you need at
least one saw of each type, plus backups.
In the beginning I put together rip saws in
tpi's from 4 1/2 up to 7, and CC saws from 7 to 12. A
saw which did not conform to the tpi I wanted just got
retoothed.
And then I noticed that I found more saws
that were simply too cool and too cheap to leave behind. And
so, my saw collection grew. Now I have so many that I am
quite careful to take home only outstanding specimens.
I have never left behind any back saw, but
then I haven't found that many.
I have made several frame and bow saws.
But the enduring question is always, "Do I
have enough saws?"
I don't think so. Not yet. Nope!
yours,
James D.
