Hi,
I'm in the market for a couple of saws that I hope to pass on to my (currently non-existent) kids one day, and there seems to be a major lack of Australian made saws.
Let me clarify... I'm not talking about vintage. I know that over the years some folks have made saws in Australia before and after WW2 and there have been some joint ventures between Australian and British companies. Not that stuff.
I'm talking about someone who is making heirloom quality tools out of good steel using native hardwood timbers and making them right now. Think of what Chris Vesper and Colen Clenton are doing with marking/measuring tools or what Harold and Saxon are doing with chisels. That kind of thing, only with saws.
Is anyone aware of an operation which is doing this and doing it well? I'm talking about hand-shaped totes, dead straight blades, world class materials... The type of thing you would get from Lie Nielsen or Pax or Veritas/Lee Valley, but made here in Australia by a guy who answers his own emails. You get the picture.
Hope to hear from someone,
Luke
