Mini Bow-Saw project




Mini bow-saw
This is my miniature bow-saw project - The top photo shows an old bow saw I bought on eBay. Large blades are quite tricky to obtain and expensive to ship over from Gramercy in the States. So I decided it would be fun to make a mini version that would take standard 170mm coping saw blades. This is where I have got up to. I have some brass rod I will cut to hold the blade pins then I can epoxy glue the rod into the handles. The wood is salvaged Canadian maple flooring rescued from a skip, just wish I had stocked up with it while it was there instead of letting it go to landfill doh!
