Welcome to Lumber Jocks Saw Swap 2014.

All input and advice are welcome to make this a great experience.

We can make saw from kits, repurpose saws, make your own
from different suppliers, and basically have fun making a useful
saw for your shop.

Sign up, details to follow.

This is a skill building and sharing quest. You can post pictures anytime and if you're in
an impasse or want to know how's the best way to do something we'll help
the best we can.

Fellow LJer's may offer Kits and Parts or anything to help make a successful
saw swap. Send me an email so I can put you on the vendor's list.

If anyone would like a specific saw please let me know and we'll
accomodate.

Out of pocket expenses should be around $75.00

My email is: waho6o9@yahoo.com

4 months should be enough time to make a saw
we'll trade October 1st. Send a picture around Sept. 1st.

Cool man. I'd say we give LJs Wally, ErikF, and perhaps a few others a chance if they want to offer parts or kits.

Whether we do a 'request list," as in, I'd like a bow saw, or backsaw….it totally up to you Waho. Because it'll be more work for you.

And the whole send your pic of your tool before your assigned a swap partner has worked well. Keeps people from getting stiffed.

I would love to be in as well. Not sure what that will look like as we have a new one due in a few weeks, but I'm willing to make a go at it.

Eric, I may just take you up on the backsaw parts offer.

If anyone has any good links to saw types and suggestions on making kinds of shop made saws I think this would be a great help. I know a stair saw or bow saw might be something I could give a go, but I wonder what else is out there I'm just not aware of.

Yes DonW restored saws are acceptable as are repurposed saws like cutting down a bigger one to make

a custom one.

Gramercy has bow kits on the link above Slyy. They have templates you can download and you can buy
their parts and have an excellent cutting bow saw.

Congratulations on your new addition John2005! Your saw will be fine and many thanks for your
participation.

Mighty kind offer ErikF thank you for that.

"Waho, how did you get collared to be the master of ceremonies?"

I volunteered Mark because I like these swaps, I've made a couple of saws,
and Lumber Jocks rock! And I figured it was my turn anyway so let's get it.

Thanks for joining NinjaAssassin, Mark Kornell, John2005 and hopefully

DonW will join as well.
