Dovetail saw handle bolts

H.D. sells some bolts that will work, I got some Brass ones from Lee Valley, think they were called Chicago bolts?
I made a dovetail saw handle for a Crown Gents saw, check my projects, think I posted them?

Not what you asked of, but you might find this video from Paul Sellers on that saw interesting.

Didn’t see that in your projects, maybe I missed it. Your wood plane is amazing though! Thanks for the tip :)

Paul Sellers is amazing and I’ve never seen that video. Definitely going to do this tonight! Thank you kindly, sir!

Wow! those look great! Did you not have to make room in the handle for the top brass piece on the blade?

Yes, cut the slot for the blade then widen the top groove with a small chisel, pick a hang angle for the handle then marked saw plate and drilled it out, 2 different angles:) and lower saw, handle extended. Picked up a 2 cherries saw that will some day also get a new handle.

Thanks for tip! I will post the finished product once complete. You guys are awesome :)

The finished product. Maple handle with a Zona blade. Many mistakes but I’m satisfied with the outcome.

Hang angle of the handle real low, I made mine for when I am standing at bench, do not use it very often. Find the Zona blade a light for push saw function thus the using of crown blade:)
Looks good and you can always change the handle shape for perfect fit in “your” paw!
Got me thinking about using Maple for the 2 Cherries blade handle, maple some nice Curly?

Nice job MarBar, looks like a comfy grip, nothing like shaping it to fit your own hand.

I think I’d have lost the front spike and continued the curve from the one behind so the handle blended into the spine, but where would we be if we all liked things the same :)
