Posted on March 13, 2018 by AdaptiveCurmudgeon

I have not written about self driving cars for the same reason I haven’t blogged about proctology exams. Also, why occupy mental space with worry over the 376th attempt to limit my personal vehicular freedom. I haven’t put up with … Continue reading →

Old Timey Saw Blade: Part 5

Posted on March 6, 2018 by AdaptiveCurmudgeon

I said I didn’t want to go down the rabbit hole. Yet here I am. I’ve ordered a 30″ bowsaw blade from Amazon (link). It’s not what I wanted but it’s cheap and it’s what I can find. I’m reasonably … Continue reading →

Old Timey Saw Blade: Part 4

Posted on March 2, 2018 by AdaptiveCurmudgeon

I wanted to add that I did a few (mostly informal) lumberjack competitions and they’re great fun. You know how it is. You’re 19, bulletproof, and inclined to whip that saw like you’re out to destroy all who oppose you. … Continue reading →

Old Timey Saw Blade: Part 3

Posted on March 2, 2018 by AdaptiveCurmudgeon

I’ve been busy and haven’t bought (or built) any saw parts yet but I did find this photo. It’s a two man crosscut saw: This is a giant Frankenstein’s Monster scale version of my little buck saw. As you can … Continue reading →

Old Timey Saw Blade: Part 2

I got a lot of good advice about just using a replacement bow saw blade. Either that or using a bandsaw blade and cutting to length. (Bonus points on that last one for being super adaptive!) Since I’m kinda’ digging … Continue reading →

Old Timey Saw Blade

Posted on March 1, 2018 by AdaptiveCurmudgeon

Anyone got advice about old saws? Recently I was messing around with this: I’ve no idea how old it is, but I do know that it’s not sharp. I want to buy a new blade. I’m well aware that the … Continue reading →
