From the Shop
- Work continues to continue on the four joinery saws I started a couple of weeks ago.

Great show Bob. I would be interested in a class but my work tour schedule would dictate if I would be able to attend. Dutch tool chest, book case, shop appliances (shooting board, bench hook, miter shoot….) all would be great items to build and classes to take. Shop appliances would be a shorter class though and might be a starter class to build on.
Thanks! The bench hook/shooting board one was something I was thinking as part of a basic skills class. So the class wouldn’t so much be focussed on building those appliances, but as part of teaching some of the basic skills, those items could be the result. I would have to work out the details of a class like that, but it’s nice to see that someone would find that sort of class useful. It will certainly help when pitching it to the coordinator at the school.
Great podcast once again, Bob. Thanks for your very good comments on cutting down an old hand saw to recover it for service as a panel saw.
A little late in this discussion but if it helps: I’d love a Saw Restoration class and also saw sharpening seminar. Unfortunately there’s no way I’d be able to travel from Scotland to make it though. I’ve found you saw blog posts really helpful- thanks
Sorry you won’t be able to attend, but thanks for the suggestions all the same!
