Hi Guys
I was working on another project at the time, and the material I wanted to cut would not fit on the band saw due to the restrictions of the throat. Looking at all the other options, I decided to build a mini bow saw. I have had a need for a saw of this type many times in the past, so out came the sketch pad, and I put some ideas down on paper while half watching TV.
I had a nice piece of beech that came from an old upholstered chair, that we scrapped. I remembered it was in the garage somewhere in the timber store. Next morning nice and early, I went straight to where I new where I had put it, and two hours later I found it somewhere else. Feeling this was not going to be a good day for practical work, it was off to the drawing board where I completed a reasonable drawing, which I printed and stuck onto card. The the shapes were cut out to form templates to be later used on the prepared timber.
