>Don't look now, but The Painters are moving on to other tools now.

Has saws run it's coarse with them, or are saws hard to find now?

Is nothing safe from them?

Got to admit that it is a very well done, and life like picture tho.

>She paints anything, and from what I've seen she has some talent. She also does a fair job of chainsaw carving. I've known her since she built a house on the edge of my deer hunting woods about 10 years ago.

>My brother-in-law has a pretty nice Disston crosscut hanging in his living room...all painted up...and not that nice of a painting either. A nature scene of some sort. Taunts me every time I visit. Me thinks that saw would be much happier working in my shop....sans art work. Groan!

>Well, let me say this about that! This past weekend was the first of this year's flea markets at Hazen, PA. Usually good pickins' and usually a large flea! Anyhow, Sunday was very cool, and many dealers stayed home and of the few that were there, most were junk crafts.

Well browsing around, I came up behind a booth that had a number of handsaws on display and all the backs were cleaned nicely. Thought for a moment that some saw guy was displaying saws that he restored and sharpened. I anxiously got around to the front and all were painted crap. Price on each was $30.00. Most were junk saws, but one was a Disston #12, with very nice handle. Didn't have the heart to tell the dealer that he could have saved painting the saw and got more on da Bay for that one.

Reminds me of the time

Neal in San Jose

>While vacationing in Skagway, Alaska, I spotted one of those veggy chopper thingys the locals make out of old saws. I picked up one with a nice Disston etch, held it up for my G.F. to see, and said in a voice loud enough for the shop owner to hear "Man, look at that. This came from a very rare saw - probably would have gotten 2 or three hundred on ebay" and we turned and walked out! I still wonder if he believed me, and if I ruined his day!
