re: Hand Saw Talk
That barrel full of handsaws has me thinking of Ron Herman. He used to show up everywhere with up to a dozen old pickle barrels absolutely full of saws.
I have had trouble with even the XXL grips of most Western saws being too small for my hand, so the straight grab me where it feels best of the Japanese style pull saws was a welcome find for me, but I do like the grinds of the Western blades over the machined edges of most pull saws, so I have gravitated to what most call Gent Saws.
I morphed one UP that I am fond of. Ron Bontz built it for me, It is a true Frankensaw. I'll try to grab it for a few pics. He also sized me up a Western saw, and it has a funky DT blade on it, For me it works fine, but most don't like it.
