>I've been eying the little 12" bow saw for some time and last week I finally found a reason for owning one.
Got it today and Holy cow -it's beautiful (my wife says "cute"). Very nicely made, excellent proportions and the first test run indicated that I should have bought one long ago. This is a winner, a must have or whatever you want to call it.
No affiliations...just a long time customer that was more than impressed with this new saw.

Oh, DON'T do this, Dean!

>$140.00 !?! That seems outragous to me. Even the kit seems a bit high priced at $50.00.
I just might have to grow my own from a old bandsaw blade.

>Scott,
Half of that 50 is for turned handles. If you buy the pins and blades it's only 25. Make your own handles.---Jack
Sweet, I guess I missed that one. Thanks Jack!

>Thanks Scott, I ordered it but I didn't want to know what it cost. Now I'm going to have to tell my wife (over hundred bucks rule) :)
The blades are much better than
