Reply To: Trollhatten No 278 Saw ?

Finally finished refurbishing this saw. Thanks to all of you who originally followed up with advice.

Top photo is”Before”, bottom is “After”. The plate was cut down a couple of inches so the saw nut holes could be aligned with the handle template and eliminating the old holes. The handle is Madrona (my favorite wood) blowdown from my backyard some years ago. The handle template is from Blackburn, as are the saw nuts. I recut the teeth and filed it 10 ppi rip, “just because”. That filing has proved the most versatile for me. I like his stuff.

All and all a very interesting and satisfying experience, and one I’ll do again with any saw I want to improve and use.
