I'm not really a collector of saws. Really not. There are a few saws in my workshop, but most of them I've made or repaired. Only a few were gathered because I liked the shape. But I do not collect saws with a system.
Sägen von Moses Eadon mag ich am liebsten. Ich finde sie haben das eleganteste Design aller alten Damen. Nachdem ich schon eine für einen Freund repariert habe, habe ich nun endlich eine für mich selbst gefunden.
The saws of Moses Eadon are the ones i like the most. They have by fare the most elegant shape of all old ladies. And after I hade a Moses Eadon repaired for a friend, I now have got one for me.
Sie war recht preiswert, wahrscheinlich, weil sie nur einen Stahlrücken hat.
I got her cheap, because she has a steel spine.
And a split nut was missing. I replaced it.
Die Säge war toll geschärft mit 17 tpi - meiner Lieblingsbezahnung für Zinkensägen.
The saw was fitted with quite sharp teeth 17 tpi - my favorite pitch for dovetailsaws.
I agree, It has a very nice handle. You have to scan it, now.

HI Andreas, nice to read you again! I will scan but later. I think I have a scan of the other moses Eadon anywhere on the blog.

I have a Moses Eadon with a brass back. Are they good saws? I need to get it sharpened up.
AntwortenLöschenI've seen some with week screws, but other than that I like them much!
