This is a continuation of a post in the "your workbench" topic of the General Woodworking forum. Since the project has, for now, become a wood turning project, I decided to continue it here. If it more rightly should stay in the Gen WW forum, John or Lew, feel free to move it. I now have all the pawns and rooks made. I'm avoiding making the knights for now. Being frequently referred to as the other end of the horse, I need to practice before making the horses' head for the "keeper" piece. Wish me luck on getting the picture of my progress to date posted correctly.

Saw was found at a garage sale a while back.....most of the teeth on one edge were worn off...$2.... Finally got it back from the Sharpening Service over in Piqua, OH....between the 2 saws I had dropped off a few weeks ago...Price for the 2 saws to be sharpened? $10... So, what is so different about the Bishop No. 10 adjustable saw? Depending on which set of teeth you want to use...the blade can be slid out, flipped over. Instead of the 9ppi Rip teeth, you can set up the 11ppi cross cut teeth.....the "bar" can be set anywhere on the blade,by sliding the blade up or down. Out on the toe of the blade, there are a bunch of "teeth" that keep the bar from moving. The bar can also be used as a depth stop.. The lever on the side of the handle tightens the handle onto the bar, then onto the blade. Locking things in place. Kind of fussy to set up just right...blade uses the bar to stay quite stiff in the cut...
