I just need to get going on a real woodworking project where I can use it.<br />I have just started sawing lumber for the porch that I once promised my wife to make. That takes some time, but it is the only exercise I get, so it serves more purposes :-)<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-57523335123537000682015-01-06T08:10:30.481-08:002015-01-06T08:10:30.481-08:00I like how the handle and rivets turned out.

You are absolutely right about the feelin...Hi John<br /><br />You are absolutely right about the feeling of bringing a tool back to being useful. It is a nice sense of having done something right.<br />I would say that Sandvik is best known for their saws over here. They bought Bahco at some point, so for a period the tools were named Sandvik Bahco as far as I know. I think that they have now sold Bahco off to Snap On tools, but I am not sure though.<br />There were some very nice panel saws in the chest as well, I haven't looked much at them yet though.<br />I think the previous owner was pretty good at sharpening saws which is interesting, since most saws have been hardened single use models since the 70'ies or 80'ies. But I guess that the owner was an old guy who knew how to do it right.<br />It is because of my father that I have been able to get my hands on all those nice Swedish tools. He and my mother have got a small cottage in Sweden, and he likes to go to flea markets etc. during the summer.<br />In Denmark quality tools aren't nearly as abundant as in Sweden, so I am glad that I have the opportunity to get some directly from the source (Sweden).<br />I'll tell my dad that you like the tool box. That'll make him proud.<br />Have a nice day.<br />Brgds<br />JonasJonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-28629400382079438592015-01-05T02:57:19.446-08:002015-01-05T02:57:19.446-08:00Hi Sylvain.

I just guessed that if they used the ppi/tpi system it would be translated.<br /><br />I can see your point in that it might be more straight forward to use the actual size as nomination. I have never used that system, so to me 18 ppi makes perfectly sense. But I am pretty sure that if you ask someone who are not familiar with that system they will get it wrong.<br /><br />I have the same feeling with the American size of nails. Why on earth should a no 18 nail be smaller than a no 12? <br /><br />It is funny how there is always something that seems strange in the way other countries and people do things.<br /><br />The most common complaint about strange things in Denmark is our way of counting.<br />Most countries I know the system is based on 10, all the way up to a hundred. E.g. fifty = five x ten = 50, or Fünfzig in German.<br /><br />The Danish system uses 10 up to the count of 49. From that point on it changes and uses the old system of 20 :-)<br />Now that is something that can be hard to see the logis in. Furthermore some very old counting words are used.<br />In Danish 50 = halvtreds = halv tredie x 20 (half third x 20) = 3 - 0.5 x 20.<br />60 is 3 x 20<br />70 is 4 - 0.5 x 20 etc.<br /><br />To me that system makes perfectly sense, but I know from other Scandinavian colleagues that they think it is rather strange.<br /><br />Brgds<br />Jonas<br />Jonas Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787393233185454227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-48279995358959135552015-01-05T02:50:17.305-08:002015-01-05T02:50:17.305-08:00There is a great satisfaction in bringing tools ba...There is a great satisfaction in bringing tools back to being useful. I don't see many Sandvik tools here in Canada. I have a Cross Cut and a set of Chisels with black poly handles that I got from my father.

No translation.<br />I don't like the American system where things are smaller when the number is higher (gauge system). For me it is counter intuitive.<br />SylvainSylvainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06334251598652872682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3111753163359491070.post-46473713143961427962015-01-05T00:30:26.496-08:002015-01-05T00:30:26.496-08:00Thanks.
