For example, I have a Millers Falls #709 (!) that I found at an estate sale. There are shavings jammed in various places, but it couldn't have been used much. It probably hadn't seen wood in at least 35 years. And what about stuff like saw sets and saw vises? I have a little more to write about this saw and the second one that I'm working on now. But I'm not done with that second one yet. Hi Dan, yeah, sometimes I wonder about the history of the tool, mostly in terms of how much it’s been used.

And I love your last line. Do you ever wonder how long it's been since an old tool has made shavings or sawdust? Looks great Brian! And I love your last line.

I think the proof is in the pudding here - that cut looks awesome for one that's coming from a 6 point saw~ great work! Leif Hi, Brian!
