While the saws look very nice, I think the market for them will be very limited. They are simply too much money for what they are. The value is simply not there for what you are paying. It is relatively easy to build a beautiful tool to sell for a large sum. It is much more difficult to build it for a reasonable price. Lee Valley’s new saws are a good example of the latter. Even Lie-Nielsen’s saws are much more reasonably priced. I wish him well but I don’t he will sell many.

Saws look great, and I love the fact that he’s willing to explore some different/historical designs… but can he get away with using the slogan “heirloom quality woodworking tools” when Lie-Nielsen uses “heirloom quality tools”?

Now that is a niche. Cool concept.

Neat looking saw! Back to plain ramen for me.

The moxon saw is really nice, and seems to be priced in line with other high end makers….

The favorite on his site, for me at least, is the No.1 bench saw…. I like the tall plate with no back on it… sort of like a tenon saw that can be used for short length rips where the saw back would bottom out…. He looks like he is up there with Bad Axe in craftsmanship and quality of product too!

Very nice work Mr. sawmaker!

LOVE the look of the “Ancient” saw. That one may end up in my paws.

Dudes – you’ve been fleamed, just a few days early this year. The alias Mr. Reeves should have added a PayPal link to add to the excitement. Bet he would have sold-out his inventory.

Hey, you reading this reply ;o) .. I AM working on learning to sharpen my own saws. My biggest challenge, because I only need to sharpen once in awhile, is setting things up so I don’t have to relearn how to do it each time. All tips and tricks are appreciated. Thanks for the links!

Cool saw, btw.
