Draw Knife Build along - from Old saw blade and basic tools
DC:
Nice one! It looks old. I've been keeping my eyes open for a suitable piece of steel but I haven't seen one yet.
globalmark:
Yes - there was a few old buildings totally collapsed not far away - abut basically a pile rubbish with trees grown all around so must have been there for year , actually the rest of the saw is there also - was a pull system - probably run from a steam engine in its day -
so NO carbide tip blade or anything just all probably high carbon steel - will rust easy i am sure but hard enough -
lots old junk around in the UK hedgerows etc - My family used to have small bit land in countryside and often found weird stuff buried ..
Blade was also snapped in half - how that happened No idea ..
So yes Old
can use a Modern tables Blade - even heard those diamond tipped concrete saw blades - builder use to cut walls or cut slots in roads when they wear out people just throw them out - so maybe contact a concrete cutter or builder or road worker see if have old blades they dont want ..
old Pull saws also good - we get them occasionally at car boot sales or estate sales cheap ..
DC:
Is the steel in the blade of diamond and carbide tips any good? I seem to have asked this just a few minutes ago ;D ;D
Russ:
