Has anyone made cross cut saws?


Tom, You could use the cutting edge from a wax paper or tin foil box. It will not be exact but cheaper and thinner then a jig saw blade.

BTW the outhouse is looking good!

I made the two cross cut saws and two axes.

Tomorrow I need to get into the plaster and create a scene. The backdrop painted greenery needs to added to for more height, perhaps 4 to 6 inches.

Great looking cross-cut saw Tom. Send the guys over, I could use some more wood cut up and split.

Geezer,

The saws need a touch up. Paint the blades silver or leave them natural?

Tom, The whole scene looks great. I really like the log holder and may have to "borrow" it for my layout. Thats a nice detail.

Tom looks like your cooks will not be short of wood for the cook stove. Great scene.
