A New, and Improved Saw Til

nice work bandit.

Nice. I like the idea of the cabinet to keep the dust and rust away. That is a lot of saws you have.

Nice! Possible to get a shot of the top holder so I can copy your idea?

Nicely done, Bandit!

Why do you need so many saws…? Prolly 2 at the most since you can only use one at a time….!! Kind of like why does anyone need 30 hand planes….? IMO, that’s overkill….!! Just my observation on both. No offence intended.

Well done Bandit!

Am I the only one whose arm gets tired just looking at all those hand saws? LOL

Top hanger..

Sits in a stopped dado…

That is angled so the front is high than the back.

That matches the angle at the front of a saw’s handle.
Both upper and lower holders are cut at the same time

Clamped together, saw blade raised as high as I could go on my saw.

So the slots will line up.

Thanks for the extra photos, Bandit! Much clearer how it works!

Thinking bout making a new one myself, old one way too small:) Pretty sure it won’t be anywhere as Purity as your’s!

-- Lifting one end of the plank.

Nice work. That is a lot of hand saws!

There are 2 saws alike in the Til…both very old Disston No. 7s…made before 1928…with a nib on the blade, no less

There is another No. 7 in the til….made when it was just Henry Disston himself making the saws…even has the early split nut style of bolts….about 1850s.

There is a Richardson Brothers saw in there, and a couple by Atkins. And, this fancy saw…

Either a D-115, or a D-100….I have both….

Recently, was using the Disston D-8, 11ppi crosscut, to help cut the longer boards down to a size I can work with. My “Cardio Workout”.....get as much of a workout running the mitresaw…the Stanley #358, that is.

Nice work bandit.

-- Think safe, be safe

Nicely designed and built. I like the stopped dado it definitely locks them in place. Very cool.
