I have been happy with this cheap little saw and it does a good job as a dovetail saw yet the Gents style handle has always felt awkward to use. Yesterday I decided to do something about that and make a new handle for it. Made from cherry and finished with BLO and paste wax. More "In...

So I have found that my favorite tool is one I made myself. Its a 9" dovetail saw made from a kit you can purchase from winsorsaw.com. The kit included the blade which was sharpened and set at 15ppi, a machined brass back and a pair of machined brass fasteners. I made the handle from walnut and...

I was looking for a quick project before I spend some shop time working on the dovetail tool swap. Looking around the shop I found that I have plenty of 5/4 hard maple lumber, a piece of ¼ inch thick brass with a less than centered groove (my first attempt at cutting a slot for my previous saw)...

Used up most of the left over scraps in the shop…..glued up a few resawn panels….Frame & Panel construction. Tray sits on four dowels, 3/8' x 3" long, one in each corner. Added a length of chain to keep the lid from flopping over the back. Top has some live edge….on the front and two...

Hope you enjoy! This is a coffee table made as a wedding present for my sister. All the wood except the bottom shelf in the middle is ash with a dark walnut stain. The shelf in the middle is a single piece of pine that i found interesting. It was all actualy old 30" baseboard segments that...

I had an old Sheffield Dovetail gents saw. It had a straight handle that was very uncomfortable and was impossible to make a square cut because it was very hard to tell if it was drifting from a layout line. I knocked the handle off the end of the spine and trimmed the spine to fit around the...

This is a saw i made after doing some trim work for a client useing a slideing bucksaw from lee valley. The blade is perfect once cut in half and put into a shaped handle. I tried to sorta copy the expensive dovetail saw from lee valley then bent a bit of brass over the spine from a picture...

I was looking to upgrade to a better dovetail saw, but I didn't want to spend a boat-load. So I decided to build it. Side note-think about it. There isn't a project we build that we couldn't buy somewhere. Part of the reason we build it is to have joy and satisfaction from using our hands to...

This one didn't turn out quite how I planned, but its not too bad. The stunning figure in the yew makes it look pretty nice.

My daughter, who is single, had just moved into her new home and didn't have a lot of furniture, so I made this oak coffee table for her. I'm now in the process of building a sideboard for her. It's my first attempt at something that large.

I disassembled some pallets and milled the wood down and found a nice planks that were the perfect size for a small box. I didn't have enough for the top so I used a piece of live edge apple. Some hand cut dovetails, some glue and hinges produced a usable box that sits next to my chair in the tv...

This is the saw that I made for an amazing LumberJock, ToddJB, for the recent Dovetail Tool Swap. The basic materials are African Blackwood, Brass 360 bar stock, and 1095 Spring Steel. I am using a few of his pics because I didn't take many of the completed tool, oopsie! The saw handle is...

A jewelry box made for my niece for Christmas. Made from wood left over from other projects. Cherry case Tiger Maple top Hand joinery.

First actual paying project…it was for a friend so they got a good deal. It was tough getting the stain as dark as they wanted without covering the grain. Learned alot doing this one and want to do another, but not anytime soon

A while back, Airframer posted a project where he had turned a gent's saw into a open handled dovetail saw. That idea bounced around my head for a while, until I decided to do the same. Starting with a Two Cherries Gent's Saw, I then printed a handle template from Tools for Working Wood. In...

My brother-in-law, Harold, died this year, and I made this box to hold his ashes until the family gathers to spread his ashes at his favorite place on the North Carolina coast. The box itself is constructed of old wormy pine salvaged from a building on the farm of my wife and sister-in-law's...
