Modern American Hand Tool Forum

And the making of the Lie Nielsen is such a fitting first post. I can watch this video over and over.

Just bought that Knew Concepts saw after a long time thinking – this has got to be not worth the money.
My friends – it is worth the money.

I’ve read reviews from people who say it only does the same thing a $10 coping saw does.
My friends – it does, but it does it better. I’ve gone through many coping saws and hated every single one of them. I almost didn’t get the KC saw because of this experience, but I had a few amazon gift certificates sitting around and said – what the heck. Very happy with the purchase.

I’m with you Red and give a standing ovation for the quality toolmakers today. I love the old stuff, and have more of it, but the new stuff can be just as good or better.

Looking forward to this thread, Red. Old or new, nobody does it better than America. Thanks for including one of my saws in the intro pic.

Just a suggestion…how about starting a list of links to modern toolmakers in the OP.

^Good Idea Bob. Give ‘em some love.

Travis, you can see my KC in the OP. Although, mine is heavily modified;-)

I bought it and never checked to see if it had jaws…I t doesn’t , so that’s where it lives…

With all due respect to Bob’s beautifull saws….

I don’t use glenn Drake’s saw that much , but i think his blade design and sharpening make his saws smooth and as quick as any saw i’ve used… they have no teeth on the front and rear 1 1/2” +-... hard to explain but super smooth…

I’ll start with this

It would be nice to know who are the LJ hand-tool makers are that sell their wears. Just so that I can buy/trade with them. So far I have from TerryR a very nice marking knife and dovetail knife. Need to buy a saw from Bob, and also from Erik and an infill from DonW and ….. ?

Red, do you have a definition of “morden” so we’re all on the same page? Currently manufacturing?
