Popular Post Robby W Posted November 3, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 As I mentioned in some of my other posts, I inherited some tools from my father. One of them was a backsaw that was missing a bolt in the handle. I looked for saw bolts, but only found the Blackburn Tools saw bolts at something like $7 each plus shipping, so I put it off. While messing around the other day, I happened on a closeout at Max Warehouse. They had a bag of 10 saw bolts from Miller Falls for $5. Adding in shipping, it was $10. The best part is they were an almost exact match for what was in the saw already. They fit right into the handle and tightened down nicely. Now I have a saw that, while it won't put Lie-Nielsen or Badaxe out of business, should function nicely one I clean and sharpen it. And I get to remember my Dad each time I use it. If anyone needs MIller Falls equivalent saw bolts, check out the Max Warehouse site. Or let me know. I have nine left..... 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted November 3, 2020 Report Share Posted November 3, 2020 Great find! That saw looks better than most of the ones I use. The important part is the sharpening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is on my list of things to do. Gotta make a saw vise first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 Do most sharpen their own or send them out? It would be neat to see a video from those on here of how they sharpen theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardA Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I sharpen my own, it's one of those skills that make you feel like you have actually accomplished something, before you actually do accomplish something, like completing a piece. And that first cut is so damn satisfying. I credit Paul Sellers for getting me into sharpening my hand saws . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 So do I need to refer to Paul Sellers technique or a video from @RichardA? I’d prefer the later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You both know I don't do videos, and you both know I almost never do anything but a completed project. If you want my technique, brought your butts to the house, we'll do Tea, sharpen, then do some Jack. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom King Posted November 4, 2020 Report Share Posted November 4, 2020 I'll try to make a video, but the to-do list is long. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
