Used the hardware from Version 1 and some Birdseye Maple scraps for the body of the saw. A little more shaping, aquafortis and finish to happen. This saw is rock-solid...  |

Beautiful work mate, I love it! Well done. Keith. Thanks Keith! Beats sitting around watching bad TV - I already do enough of that. The long months are starting that are often too cold to work in my shop... |

I may need to make a full-size version - It would be less fussy than the benchtop bandsaw I have. Will likely use a replacement bandsaw blade from HF with the only major difference being that pins will be needed to attach the blade to the handle fixtures. That said, I would have little use for a larger version at this time...

That said, I would have little use for a larger version at this time... That and you would have plenty of replacement blade left! Good idea, I may have to sacrifice one of my blades as well. |

With the coping saw blade, it seems to leave a cleaner cut if the teeth are pointed away from the operator.
