274671 scottg <scottg@s...> 2021‑10‑10 Saw replacement
Happy Sunday Galoots near and far!

Well remember last month when I dropped my veteran backsaw and broke the 
handle?
   I took your advise and repaired it and resharpened it and I'll retire 
it just to remember the lifetime of service it gave me.

   Meanwhile I needed a replacement. I could have bought someone else's 
saw. There are a lot of really great saws being made right now. But its 
not really my style.

  I had cut my thumb pretty badly and it was healing but taking its 
time. So in my dimished state I gathered some lonely saw parts I had 
laying around. A brass back from one old derelict saw. A handle from 
another and a saw plate from a 3rd.
   Whizzmo change-o I married them. haahah
   It worked but it was plain as a mud fence. The handle was so beat up 
I actually had to use stain :(
    I had to do at least a little something............

I kind of liked this medallion. It was the best Warren and Ted I had 
available.
I didn't want to use a Disston. Didn't want people confused hahaahaha

Should make a decent knock around saw.
