Beautiful handle - and hopefully the blade is up to the task. You never know until you start from scratch, new teeth, new set, etc. Paul Sellers has a great series on doing that. If not, now you know how to make a killer handle.

Thanks for sharing! I gave it a try, messed up my first attempt trying to fit the brass back since my chisel was too big. I gave it another try after making a small chisel out of an old drill bit and got it to fit better. Shaping and sanding took a really long time but now that I'm done, I'm really happy with it. I've been carrying it around with me too 😁 but I haven't attached the saw plate yet since I don't think my wife would be too happy with that since we have young children. Thanks again!

Well, this is certainly serendipitous. I just ordered the same saw a three/four weeks ago from Woodcraft, but it came with two differences; 1., it has a hole with which to hang it at the toe and 2., for some strange reason, it cuts on the pull stroke ala Japanese style saws and not a western style push stroke. I've already pulled and reversed the blade's direction in the spine. The reason I bought it was to recut the teeth in a Rip pattern instead of the typical Crosscut pattern, reducing them in number by half (and making them bigger in the process) as per an article by Mario Rodriguez in an old FineWoodworking magazine I have. I'll do the teeth first, see how that works out and then, if all goes well, do the handle. If that works out, I have an 8" E. Garlick & Son "Lynx Brand" gent's saw that looks otherwise identical to their traditionally handled dovetail saw that I'll do the same to next. [Addendum: The link to Blackburn tools is "Just what the doctor ordered". (Since I used to be the Guitar Doctor at Stars Guitars in San Francisco (I made "house calls" to concerts and recording studios), I actually mean it. Thanks.]

Hey! Great timing indeed! How cool you did guitar repair. Yeah, I’d say I prefer this traditional style over a gents but some people don’t. Whatever works for the user I say! Anyway that is very strange about the saw you bought. I hope you get everything tuned up and working great. Cheers!
@johnbesharian9965

@@TheHandToolery, "I'm 'Woikin' on. it", as the Three Stooges" might have put it. I do presume you replaced the round head bolts and hex nuts with the proper hardware from Blackburn. When you get the bug to do another one (and you know you will) I have two quick suggestions; 1., Find a saw with little to no set in the teeth that has a kerf no wider than the saw plate of the one you're making a handle for, Japanese flush cutting saw, or a hobby saw, whatever. Mark your handle for the cut then lay it flat on the bench and then block up the saw your going to cut the grove with up to the hight of the intended saw kerf, hold the cutting saw horizontal and steady on the material you're using to block it up with, then just move the handle blank back and forth until the slot is done. Much easier to get a straight cut and have it centered where you want it. I think Paul Sellers has a video on it. 2., I hope your insurance agent never sees this video because pulling edged tools like your chisels toward you like that can drastically and suddenly change your air intake. Be safe.

Well I made the pistol grip handle, 2 problems that I had that I didn't notice in your video that you might address if you update your video. 1. Shorten, sharpen, and reset teeth before cutting slot for saw plate. 2. I believe I have the very same Deer brand gent saw but I had one heck of a hard time drilling the holes for the screws. I drilled 1/16 hole through the handle put the plate in and couldn't drill through it. Broke 2 drill bits and dulled a third. Tooke the plate out drilled handle out to 1/8 put plate in and drilled through with 1/8 carbide drill. Holes opened up with high speed bits after that. Saw worked nice and I'm happy with handle, I might have to add a little more set to my teeth though.

Nice job. Cheaper saws are notorious for very wide kerf sets and poorly sharpened teeth. As you will notice this make the cut both jumpy and inaccurate for something like a dovetail. I recommend resetting 006" wider than plate (.003" each side) and a quick float and resharpen. You will find the accuracy of the cut vastly improved to match that great looking handle! Lee Valley has good sets at a reasonable price.

There's something about making one's own tools. When I use my saw or my planes I've made, it always pops into my mind how crazy it is that this thing I made is now making something else. This was surely the most normal of processes in times past, but now, we are so distanced from the manufacturing of things that it is hard to imagine at times. Maybe that's why this is so rewarding to make you own handles or jigs or tools. Cheers!

Saw nuts? Is that what they're called? Anyway they're usually slot-head bolts that go into nuts that sit flush with the handle, usually having a square shank like a carriage bolt on the nut section. They will show off your excellent work without detracting. Keep it up, man, you're on a good path. Peace.
