    Hacksaw

    Hacksaw-b5268374-5467-46a7-9fe1-393fedba1a51.jpg

    When I saw Mr Thomas Latane’s magnificent saw on Pinterest, I resolved to try to emulate him. This would not impress a Nurnburg master, although Mr Latane’s would. This design is quite different, since mine has a pistol grip. I don’t know what wood forms the scales, although it resembles rosewood, but it’s not fragrant. It is a salvaged tray. The rivets are also secondhand..

    Pretty creative. Is that one piece of stock or a weldment?

    It is cut from plate, but the lugs at the bottom were forged, then welded. Thanks for your interest.
