Also new for the first time is a service to put a new back saw blade into your saw converting it from a dull, bent hulk to a reconditioned, precision cutting tool. You won't believe the difference!

16 Jan 2009	Vintage Saw related books available for immediate download	Everyone knows that saw related books are few and far between. Over the past 15 years I have been collecting early works and have decided to make them available to all to read. The best part is that they come with no shipping and are available for download right from the site. Initial titles include "Saw Filing" by Grimshaw and "Suggestions on the Care of Saws" by CC Taintor. Future offerings will include other vintage works and very early Disston catalogs from the 19th Century.	Here!

7 Dec 2008	6 Saw Vises available	These are getting hard to find. A decent selection for any budding saw filer.	Here!

3 Nov 2008	MINT Simonds One Man Cross Cut	I often get requests from customers about cross cut saws intended to cut down trees. If you have ever wanted one, now is the time to buy one of these Simonds Model 111 saws. These were rescued from from an Army Depot and are from WWII. I estimate they were made in the 1930s. Pristine and covered in cosmoline and wrapped in wax paper, they don't get much nicer than this!	Here!

14 Aug 2008	Shipping Goes up!	Sadly, after absorbing the cost of multiple shipping increases over the past few years, I couldn't hold out any longer. Effective today, our new flat rate cost is $9.00 per order or per saw. That means if you buy a saw and a bunch of files, no matter what the weight, it costs $9.00 Each saw purchased also costs $9.00, although anything else you buy that we can fit in the box rides for free. Saw vises cost a flat $15 per owing to weight, and can also be combined with other goods.

10 Apr 2008	25 D20-D23 Hand Saws available	A great assortment of both cross cut and rip hand saws. Very fine examples of early and rare saws as well as good user grade saws are featured.	Here!

27 Mar 2008	30 D8 Hand Saws available	Early super fine examples as well as a great assortment of Disston's most popular saw are available. Rips are getting very scarce...there are 10 available, most of which are of the coveted finger hole design!	Here!

Now!	Learn to File a Saw!	Best on the web, check out our saw filing primer and learn how to file a saw. Let's face it, if you can build a chest of drawers, you can do this. It's my mission to teach everyone who uses saws to learn to keep them in shape.	Here!
