The time that goes into the handle suddenly ads up, but it can be time that is oh so well spent :-)<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-87130354654925129492018-08-31T15:36:12.582-07:002018-08-31T15:36:12.582-07:00Thanks Matt.

Thanks a lot for the very nice comment.
I...Hi Bill.<br />Thanks a lot for the very nice comment.<br />It is actually not that difficult, but it takes a bit of time. But if you have a coping saw and a rasp you can do it a lot faster than I did out here.<br /><br />A good thing about a project like this is that there is no need for a glue up, so you can go to an from the project as you wish.<br />Most of the shaping I did while holding the handle in one hand and lightly filing it with the other.<br />So technically you could do it in the Kitchen if Kim will let you.<br />I sanded the last rounds in the control room last night. I had started the vacuum cleaner, and placed it between my knees, so there was close to no dust after that.<br /><br />It is likely cheaper to buy a new saw, but I like the feeling of rehabbing an old one. and shaping a saw handle is cheap in terms of wood. And if the alternative is to watch TV, then I guess nothing is lost by spending some hours in rehabbing an old tool.<br /><br />On a different note, I read one of your old blog posts yesterday, "Echo chamber". Those old posts still rock!<br /><br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-14943951346393550692018-08-31T06:04:38.629-07:002018-08-31T06:04:38.629-07:00After seeing this, I am now prepared to next day a...After seeing this, I am now prepared to next day air mail a Disston crosscut as well as rip saws that my father-in-law gave to me so you can install new, beautiful, hand made handles!<br />All kidding aside, absolutely beautiful work, sir!!<br />Billconfusedwoodworker@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07388390480569098626noreply@blogger.com
