    Prototype 'Harlekin'

    A sash saw with a new designed handle. It was a test to give it a more TLT touch. More filigrane and offering a way to insert an ovally shaped spine flush to the top of the cheeks. Pedder isn't too fond of it, he called the design 'Harlekin'. I had a good laugh on this name but found it rather...

    German silver, stainless steel and ebony

    Hi folks, we've made a fine joinery saw that is different to our usual ones. It has a spine of German silver instead of brass. The steelish colour of this alloy goes well with the SS screws and with the ebony handle as we find. The downside is the difficult slotting of this alloy. Our machinist...

    Panel saw with Ebony handle

    Hi woodworkers, our latest saw. A 22" panel saw toothed at 7 tpi rip. The handle shape is rather new. Currently we're at it to create another one for smaller panel saws. But I think, this fits rather well for saws with 22" or longer. The blade isn't tapered. Though it's only...

    Saw making, our way - pic heavy

    Hi folks, after having planned this a few years ago, Pedder and I finally brought ourselves to make some blog entries to share our saw making step by step. The first 3 entries show just the handle making more or less. The next will be done by Pedder to show the making of the blade and of the...

    Very special double screw vice

    Hi Handtoolers, who doesn't know the situation while dovetailing or while doing some other jobs where you'd like to have a little more clamping height than a bench allows. The double screw vice (also called Moxon vice), that can be mounted onto the bench might be the solution. I say it might be...

    Back in Sawmaking

    Hi handtoolers, after a long brake due to some allergy issues I'm back in saw making together with Pedder again. Currently it's only possible to me to work with ebony and olive without having reactions. I'm happy enough being able to continue the handle making on this limited base. Better than...

    Hi Handtoolers, a few weeks ago, Wilco posted some pics of his shop made paring chisels. shop-made-paring-chisels-t66992.html I was intrigued in a sudden by them. So I was happy when Wilco informed me that he started a side business with these tools and hurried up to order one. A paring...

    4 of a kind

    Hi Woodworkers, a few pics of 4 special saws. We've been lucky enough to get in sequence 4 orders of Ebony handeled "Ultimate Edition" saws. Normally we make one after the other. In this case we couldn't resist to make all of them in one batch because I loved the idea to have 4 of those saws in...

    Cocobolo handeled Carcass Saw

    Hi woodworkers, after making saws together with Pedder for about 2 years now, we realized that we´ve made quite a number of customized saws but not for ourselves. Our own saw tills look poor when looking for a TLT saw :? So we decided to make some saws for ourseleves in 2011, too. The first...

    Some more shop made saws

    Hello Friends of hand tools. As in Pedders thread mentioned, I want to show a few more pics of saws, Pedder and me have made. We know us since about 1,5 years and since about 1 year we make saws in teamwork. Pedder, a really nice guy, takes the main part because he is responsible for the...
