Birdsmouth

Hi Marv,
I like the “birds mouth” and it is a handy accessory to have.
It was especially interesting that you mentioned pull saws. I own two pull saws. They were a little weird to use at first, but I eventually adjusted to them. They have rather thin blades that flex easily so the pull stroke is a must but they follow a line well and saw strait. I liked your comment on converting your hack saws to pull stroke. I have a 1900 era Union hacksaw that I love. I also have reversed the blade in this as well. With only one hand on the straight round handle it is a “no brainer”. This is my favorite 8” hacksaw.
