For You Lot Character Japanese Saw

At the David Stanley auction final calendar week I picked upwards this frail unused Ryoba saw from i of the stalls. I recognised the label from Thanet Tools Supplies inwards their Craftsman Choice catalogue. The entry describes the saw equally beingness made past times principal blacksmith Kijima San. Each blade is manus scraped to make the right tapering towards the blade centre in addition to has manus cutting teeth which are motorcar laid upwards for accuracy in addition to and thence manus finished. The toll label was fifteen - xx years onetime thence this saw would live on good over £100 now.

Although Thanet Tools Supplies is going rigid the Japanese tools get got all only finished a few years agone which is a nifty shame. I mean value a combination of the vast arrive at of stock in addition to British conservatism prevented it beingness a feasible concern. The catalogue is 84 pages amongst over 1,000 lines in addition to is a nifty read if you lot tin instruct concur of one.

I picked upwards these rare planes made past times Arthur Price, the final of the onetime makers who worked from 1924 - 1967. They are inwards nifty status in addition to get got seen really footling use. If anyone tin shed whatever to a greater extent than lite on his activities I would appreciate hearing from them.

I also succumbed to or thence other Bill Carter plane, this fourth dimension a half-dozen 1/4" mitre bird inwards boxwood.
Bill says these get got him nigh equally long to brand equally his metallic planes only tin alone sell them for 1/3 of the price.

It has wonderful lines in addition to feels nifty inwards the hand. He has a few to a greater extent than if anyone is interested.
