Backsaw renovation

jeudi 28 août 2014

I bought this saw back in the 80's and it has been in use ever since. There are a couple of features i've never liked though, the handle is uncomfortable to use and sharpening is a pig on that extended part below the handle.







This one is better in those regards and is what i will work towards.







This hardpoint saw was one I got at a garage sale for the sake of the sawnuts, only a dollar!









The hanlde is pretty uninspiring, but with a bit of cutting and shaping it might come close to what I want and save me a bit of time and wood.







A couple of cuts and a bit of glue;







A bloke might as well put a dowell in there too, can't hurt it.







I'll let that go off overnight and do a bit more tomorrow.
