Just playin around a bit - RonB1957 - 03-13-2025

Just decided to make a triple loop dovetail in curly Maple. Not very curly as it turned out.
But 32* hang at 16ppi rip.

I actually made two of these Mahogany saws. Was having some issues so decided to make two in case one did not go so well. Turns out they both were ok. It only took 3 tries. ( Problem with a cutter )

 Next week I am going to see what ammonia fumed white oak will look like in a single loop version. Some day I will stop playing around and get some work done.

That is pure artwork. Way too nice to be in my shop, but I do have something to share; the degree shortcut, Alt+0176  "32° hang"

I'm not even a hand tool guy and I think those are absolutely gorgeous.

Those are some fabulous saws.

Not bad for just playin around!


RE: Just playin around a bit - Gary G™ - 03-16-2025

Gorgeous. What do you do when you’re serious!

Hmmmm My playing around and the saw fairy never makes a saw from all my wood.  I must be doing something wrong or not treating the fairy nicely.   Maybe I need to get some metal and let them do their work then.
