Nicknames are assigned, not self-promoted, and Tom Fidgen calls this my 'Jack Saw.' 4" deep sawplate, 16" long premium-grade Swedish spring steel sawplate, firearms-grade hot-blued or bright-polished stainless steel back, cherry handle, and brass fasteners. Given the way I file the crosscut version of my 16" saw, you will find that it also performs quite admirably in rip mode. Standard filing suitable for most purposes are 11 ppi rip and 12 ppi x-cut. A truly versatile saw that will handle most work, big and small. Be sure to check out my bench hooks to accessorize this great tool when it's filed in crosscut mode.

Right now, I'm running a 3-4 week backlog with orders, so the best way to lock your place in the queue is to place a deposit on your saw via the PayPal form on the right.

Hate making you wait, but there's an advantage with this method: SWMBO won't notice the low-key, two-part transaction flying under the radar. LOL.

After paying the deposit, you will populate my queue, and I will advise you of the delivery date in my follow-up email. After I build your saw, I will send you another invoice with shipping costs for the balance due and ship it out no later than one business day after full payment is rendered.
