Astragal Press book question
Todd O. Cronkhite Maine Native in FL. Exile :~(
>Been considering buying the book "Henry Disston & Sons Handbook For Lumbermen" from Astagal. Thought it might be a good resourse for seeing all the different tools that where used in maintaining one-two man crosscut saws. Has anybody else bought this book, and would you recommend it?
Does anybody know of a good book that illustrates the tools used in maintaining these saws and how they where used.
What drives this question is that in the April issue of Woodworkers Journal I saw an article on how one of the tools was used that I had always wondered about. Since I have a small collec..er, er, accumulation of these saws I'd like to be more educated on what tools I need to maintain them and how to use them.
Passed over on a nice Disston one man crosscut this past weekend as the seller wanted what I thought was too much for it.($25) Dang, and I don't have that tooth pattern either. Would of taken it for $15 tho. Fiqure after toting it around for a few weeks he'll be more apt to come off the $25. Coarse, I risk never seeing him again, or somebody else buying it, but hey, that's part of "the game" eh?
