You could try to shave the handle below the eye and see if you can get the head to seat a little farther down. Then see if the wedge will go in a little farther. If the wedge is already bottomed in...

One face is White Pine and the other is Dogwood. The head is partially filled with birdshot.
Thank you, it most certainly does not match. The AWS reference was very helpful.
The internet is loaded with versions of that picture and subsequent descriptions of QS with angled grain and...
As I understand it, rift sawn boards have the vertical end grain orientation. Quarter sawn will yield most of the boards with angled grain.
I made that same mistake in my post to the OP when I...
Sorry, I don't know who "he" is that's talking about quarter sawn wood and how that relates to my post. thanks :)
I don't know if "vertical end grain" is an official term. I've always thought of it as end grain running vertically across the width of a board. Rift sawn boards cut on the radial plain will have...
Appreciate your input.
I did some more looking and can add to my second post. Apparently Disston in the late 1800's introduced the "Keystone Saw Mfg. Co." brand which did not include the Disston...
Thank you for the reply. I checked into this. "Keystone Saw Works" was on some etchings, but as far as I could find out these were not second line. Here is an example:...
When I looked at the page I found three with Philadelphia. But none with "saw works". Thanks for the link, I have it saved.
I posted this on the crosscut sawyer forum a little more than a month ago. Lots of looks, but no replies.
Anyone have any info, leads, guesses, etc. on this saw plate?
It's 36 in. long. The...
Here is mine, American Hornbeam.

A rasp for the pipes once the shape is roughed out. Don't know how he drills his pipes, but alignment is critical. You can get briar blanks pre-drilled.
My uncle gave it to me a few years ago. He was a hero to me. WWII tail gunner with 66 missions over europe and a life long woodworker. Anyway, this will stay in the family.
I've seen a lot of...
don't forget this one;)

Another vote for a drawknife. I got a cheap one a few years ago for the purpose of removing bark. I think it came from Menards (currently $13), but I'm sure most of the big box stores would have...
I think so, but I probably just have different expectations.

jtk, good for you.
I have a Little Giant 5207 that belonged to my dad. Among my very earliest memories was that vice and being with my dad working with it (I was born in 1946). He kept it and...

You said it was "from a company I won't name". I've never seen a Jemco, but your description sure sounds like what I've read about them. Anyway, you might consider a vintage saw. I wish I could...
Well my teeth kept falling out and right on my workbench top. After awhile the bench top surface got kinda all scratched up. I didn't think much of it at first, but the more of those tooth marks...
The round front knob and the flats on the sides of the tote look like the ones on the Defiances I've seen. The adjusting levers on these were bent in a very shallow or wide "V". The ones I've seen...
I got a No 80 replacement blade from here

I made a free standing horse. After using it I added leather. It did improve holding.
