Saw Till





I recently replaced the table on my 1958 Delta radial arm saw. The original table was made up with 3 beautiful pieces of 1" clear Fir, but they were deeply grooved on both sides after 53 years of use. I couldn't bear to toss them into the burn box, so I decided to make a saw till to hold all my hand saws. The deep grooves resulted in some unexpected breakage during construction, but with a few glued repairs, I ended up with some useful storage and the price was right! For the classic saw shape, I drew around my Disston Acme 120.
