Can you go to smaller teeth with them?<br /><br />The total price of the auction is 3 times that after shipping, roughly. Gets expensive but at least you can get them. <br /><br />I saw the others you linked, but I have enough large files for my not so many bug saws, so I'm passing on those.

It was one I think. Then you need one blacksmith for the tools, one saw sharpener, one file maker. Lumberjack, bread maker, tailor... you catch my drift no?<br /><br />Most of the energy-intensive work is already done. We can order carbon steel by internet and with a few hundred euros get enough for a life or two. And written word makes for a faster learning too... what I'm trying to say is that you need a scene. <br /><br />Sorry to hear about the marriage, it's a difficult thing.<br /><br />I was thinking of getting these, maybe we share them? I can ask murakami to send each half<br /><br />http://buyee.jp/item/yahoo/auction/r123017180<br /><br />For what I've seen during the week I guess you can get 100 files in a few months. How many do you need per saw?

Also have Nokogiri blanks and pieces for about 200 saws, mostly 210 mm ryoba.<br /><br />It makes no sense to make the saws if there are no files; one might meditate on the interdependence of artisans of the past, and the atomisation of communities in an industrialized, modern, and post-modern world. Seems like the files are drying up.<br /><br />The reason the building doesn’t exist is a marriage that didn't work.<br /><br />Zigged when I should have Zagged.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904549664984991709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516147879960334586.post-40796683913843579022015-01-11T05:32:59.728-08:002015-01-11T05:32:59.728-08:00Great name and great story, would love to see it. ...Great name and great story, would love to see it. <br /><br />Have you tried forging your own saws btw?

It ...After a bit of reflection I see what you mean. It is the same length though the shape is different. The final "straight" line is what we are going for.<br /><br />In practice, we are not hammering blades enough to change the dimensions.<br /><br />We may dent a blade, of the less hard variety, that's their nature. Western carpenters worked their saws this way, and the evidence is there. Sharp Straight Western saws cut impressively. They don't hold an edge as long, they leave a rougher surface, but unless you saw very slowly and carefully, marking out exactly, you are cleaning up with a nomi.<br /><br />I restored antiques for years, and used nokogiri daily, because they speeded up the work, and so used them even more frequently. But that was only after they were done by a professional. As I bought them, they wouldn't cut straight, because even though they looked straight to me, they weren’t.<br /><br />This is also true of disposable blade saws - not guaranteed to be flat.<br /><br />Don't be surprised if i seem fixated on this subject. I'm really a woodworker, though I've worked in iron/steel, clay, and stone, and brick/mortar.<br /><br />In woodworking, minor adjustments have major consequences.<br /><br />With saws - the same, only an order of ten.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10904549664984991709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516147879960334586.post-36573723551610687332015-01-10T21:13:14.149-08:002015-01-10T21:13:14.149-08:00I knew you were working on your clairvoyance! Some...I knew you were working on your clairvoyance! Some endeavours in life require crazy, and this is one of them. <br /><br />Yataiki once took a 330 mm blade out of tempering oil that looked like dried lasangna before boiling. I gave him a look, couldn't help it - and he wailed that thing flat, less than 2 min. With a small chipped face hammer. I'll never forget that, never. It was like watching a hungry tiger feed. Seventy years young at that time.

I think that the length of the rope remains constant because the waves are only the product of stresses inside the material, there is not much deformation as when you are forging it... or that's what I think anyway.
