I was browsing the Blue Spruce Toolworks web site the other day, checking the price on their 12" pull saw, hoping for a sale price. Well, no sale price, so I clicked off. The next day, I received an email from BST stating that they noticed I had left their web site rather quickly. I imagine most of us have received similar emails. They wanted to know if there was something they could do. I replied yes, they could sell me the 12" pull saw for the sale price they had listed on their site for the 8" gents saw. Or, I then suggested, that they could throw in their saw holster for free. I really didn't expect even an answer, let alone agreeing to my offer. To my surprise, they agreed to add the holster for free. All I had to do was order the pull saw at the regular price, and send them the order number. So I did. When I received an email confirming my order and their addition to my order, they had added the holster and one of their signature coffee mugs to the order. So with their permission, I am praising their customer service here. Customer service from anybody these days that is worthy of praise is extremely rare. Their tools are good, although rather pricey, but worth it in my opinion.

I've always struggled with cutting small parts to length, even when I had my radial arm saw, as it always seemed like overkill. I've been using a couple of Japanese pull saws for a while, really like them, and decided to make a bench hook for cutting small pieces. All parts are from the scrap bin - offcuts of luan plywood, a piece of cherry for the clamp block and a piece of thicker edge banding for the fence. First photo is the original one that I built - worked OK, but it occurred to me afterwards that the fence would be better behind the sawing direction. The original unit in use, cutting the MDF strips for the grid in my bit storage cabinet - stop clamped at left to give consistent length. The new (improved) version with the fence at the front so that the saw pulls the material into the fence. Another change was to have the fence overhang the clearance groove so that it could be used to guide the saw and help with square cuts. I used the end of the fence in the original version for this, but I think having the fence at the rear is going to make this easier too. Another view showing the clamping block on the bottom so that it can be clamped in the vise - so, not really a saw hook but............. Having the ability to clamp a stop block on the end turned out to be very handy, so I made this one a little longer to give me a little more room. Haven't used the new one yet, but think it's going to work a little better with the pull saws because of the front fence location. They're the perfect size for cutting small strips, dowels, etc. to length, can see them getting a lot of use cutting my edge banding to length.
