Oh I like making stuff.
An 11" carcase saw, I think I finished it last year. I've used it to build some furniture.

FPants - that's splendid work!!!! I wish I had the skills & tools to do that kind of woodworking.
Vindingo -- I'd be honored to do up some forged dovetails for you; pm me and I'll send you a mailing address where you can snailmail some paper templates with the sizes, shapes and thicknesses you have in mind and I can take it from there.

got your pm...
Laid out the boards this evening, so it shouldn't be long. I hope to take progress shots along the way just for fun.
FP- that saw is pretty. I picked up a Veritas DT saw about a year ago, and I just can't get into working with western saws. Japanese saws just do it for me, but I'm sure I'd learn to love it with a saw as nice as that one!

Thanks ya'll.
The handle is a copy of the Gramercy carcass saw.
I have a dovetail and another carcass saw (crosscut) waiting for teeth and handles sitting in my project pile.
I have some random bits of furniture too, but no pics yet.
Nothing as impressive as some of the furniture I've seen here though.

Do you cut and set your own teeth? How is that done? Interesting. I taught myself how to set up and sharpen big peg and raker crosscut saws but I don't know much about the small ones.

Yes, I did it with a 5" double ex-slim taper saw file in a saw vise. I think it's 11teeth per inch. I used an old Stanley 42X saw set for fairly minimal set. I used a template made by a home/hobbiest saw maker who spaced some lines out (11 lines/in) in AutoCAD and used the printout as filing guide. Very tedious work, but it was worth the effort after the first few cuts. It was filed rip, since this was my second saw I've ever made or even sharpened, I didn't want to confuse myself with crosscut teeth and all the fleam angles/etc...
The saw plate was cut from a section of .020" thick 1095 spring steel and fit into a .020" slot machined into a 1/4" x 5/8" piece of brass.
Well, I say machined, but it was a jig I made with a slitting arbor in a drill press.

I made this for my sister yesterday - i added another set of fins & did some finish work after taking this photo, but it's not quite done yet and this gets across the idea.
She's working on her old house in Oregon and plans to give a nod to the whole feng shui idea of water in the entry by painting a koi pond across the floor of her enclosed front porch. I was aiming for more of a trigger fish... I started by cutting the halves of the fish out of 1/8" plate, hammered them concave so the finished fish is hollow & about an inch thick (one side had the dorsal & other small fins, the other had the tail on it) and welded the two together. Grinding, adding the pelvic & pectoral fins, popping a round weld bead on each side for eyes got it to this point.

I always wanted one made out of wood but they didn't make them at the time so I made it. It has a plastic core from a speed cube, hand carved red oak edges, and veneers on the faces burls, rainbow wood, zebra, fire maple, etc.

That fish is pretty cool. Any photos of it in her yard?
Unfortunately that project I wanted to collaborate with you on fell through... those slabs of wood are now being used for a $ making project. Its bitter sweet I guess. I don't really need a headboard, but I hate tapping into my personal stash of wood. Hopefully in the near future I will be bugging you to make some metal bits for me.
The new project will be finished in a few days.

Vindingo & Punx - that's beautiful work; I've long wanted to do more work in wood, but haven't had the skills or the tools. Lucky me, the barn/garage across the street is slowly turning into a shared workshop among several of us in the neighborhood -- I've moved my welding table & little 115 MIG welder over there, and a big, rehabbed air compressor, and one of the participants is a friend & pretty accomplished woodworker (and he's renting the house in front of the barn, so that's where his tools will live) so I'm hoping to pick up some knowledge.
Looks like the fish will be a Christmas present for my sister, so I've been playing with it a little more. I added another set of fins and used a hand torch to get some color into the fins & mouth.
Another project that's getting closer to done is a knife I'm making for my godson from a worn-out file, to commemorate his becoming an Eagle scout. I picked up some saddle leather yesterday (I'd forgotten how expensive that stuff is!) and made a simple sheath:
I still need to color the leather & emboss his initials on it, and I'm still messing with the edge profile toward the tip of the knife, but it's getting close.
