I finally got a pair of reading glasses so I can see small stuff again and thought it about time to sharpen the saws and organize them. this is my take on a saw vise and saw till. Requirements, material on hand. The saw vise is walnut and maple scraps and a hinge that holds it together. Drops into the front vise for clamping pressure. Holds really well. Not too big, I need to shift the larger saws but it works great and is really simple. The saw till was made out of mostly pine. Had to fit between the two mounted tool cabinets so it does not hold the coping saws or bow/frame saws but does keep the ones that I use a lot in front of the bench. Shelf below keeps two mallets organized (and off the bench – got tired of picking them up off the floor) and my old ipod for music in the shop. There is enough space to add another japanese saw and another gentlemans saw. Comments always welcome! Thanks for looking!

Good looking saw vise! Your saw till compliments your wall of tools quite nicely. Good work!

I don’t think I’d have the patience for sharpening handsaws, but the vise looks up to the task. Thanks for sharing.

very well made and looking nice, I had to read your post twice before realizing what was a till (we Italians sometime loose your slang!).

Thanks everyone!
Dutchy, Lidll reading glasses?
I actually went with prescription, dropped 70 Euro but not having to take cell phone pictures of everything small and then increase the size to read is worth it :-) I also note that I can read graduations on the rulers MUCH better. Hopefull this will improve my woodworking!

:-) – Useless thing that one is… unfortunately like most of the Lidl stuff, it leaves a lot to be desired.
will say you are a man of details!

Really fine work on those, it all looks so fine and a place you like to spend time.
Best thoughts,
