Turning Saw

(1/2) > >>

Greg Pennell:
Here’s another project made of gunstock scraps. This one is a copy of an 18th century turning saw (bow saw)…basically a large coping saw made for cutting tight curves. This one is made for 12” blades, which along with the blade hardware I got from Gramercy Tools (www.toolsforworkingwood.com).  I made the frame from curly maple scraps.  The handles turned out to have some worm tracks, but I decided to go ahead and use them anyway. Gramercy has free downloadable plans on their website, as well as the hardware for the saw.


















Thanks for looking!

Greg,
Neat saw, I have a bunch of curly maple and walnut cut offs, maybe one of these days I could make one of those
! Thanks for posting.

Very nice work, I've had one like this on my soon to make list.

Greg Pennell:
Thanks guys!  I really enjoy making things…and the tools for making things. Now that my workshop is nearly ready to go, I can get into some more serious projects.
