I think I knew about 3 of them the rest not so much. I have wanted to build a saw till of some sort as a proper home for them but like everything I get the idea, maybe get started and never finish it. In this case I was looking for ideas; that I could either borrow from, or just flat copy. This is actually a combination of a couple of different saw tills I found. The sides are clear pine from our old kitchen cabinets. The bottom is a piece of Walnut that came from dads. The boards that make up the blade holder is some sort of hard wood, and a piece of Douglas fir, both of which I believe came from dads stash. The dowel is 1” maple, that is something I had. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The saws are in a variety of condition, with at least 2 having broken handles. There is at least one saw that is virtually new and I believe may date back into the 50’s if not older. It is the one on the far left. A couple are newer more modern saws (one even has a plastic handle) but they were dads so they are there. 2 of them are mine (more natural handles, one long one short) that dad had bought for me when we first got our house. Now I just need to figure out what each saw is and if they will even cut. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>2Dave<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
