DSC00383touchmark_copy.jpgMy Touchmark151 viewsHandmade on a piece of steel that probably started life as a star drill - 1/2" between flats. Used two tiny homemade chisels on smaller 6-sided piece of tool steel, one with a curved cutting edge, the other straight. Probably 3/16" stuff, with ends tapered to get the tiny chisels ends needed. Used tiny files to fine tune those chisels. SomedayForgeAug 26, 2011

P9120138b.jpgI'm ready to try it. 191 viewsThat's me in my BAM outfit. Notice that someone else has already done most of the cut for this slab. One cuts a bit on one side then switches to the other, maintaining 45 degree cuts that meet in the middle. Kind of like resawing. SomedayForgeFeb 24, 2011

P9120143b.jpgAnother closeup146 viewsBIG teeth. And notice that they vary in size. The eldest of the sawyers was sharpening these saws on site. I didn't think to watch him more closely while doing that. SomedayForgeFeb 24, 2011
