3 Nov 2008	MINT Simonds One Man Cross Cut	I often get requests from customers about cross cut saws intended to cut down trees. If you have ever wanted one, now is the time to buy one of these Simonds Model 111 saws. These were rescued from from an Army Depot and are from WWII. I estimate they were made in the 1930s. Pristine and covered in cosmoline and wrapped in wax paper, they don't get much nicer than this!	Here!

14 Aug 2008	New Source of Saw Sharpening Files	After a good run with Sandvik, we had to move to a new source of saw files. Effective today, we'll be carrying Grobet exclusively. Grobet files are made in Switzerland and are simply the best...and even better they cost less than the Sandvik did. Stop by the file page to stock up!	Here!

14 Aug 2008	Shipping Goes up!	Sadly, after absorbing the cost of multiple shipping increases over the past few years, I couldn't hold out any longer. Effective today, our new flat rate cost is $9.00 per order or per saw. That means if you buy a saw and a bunch of files, no matter what the weight, it costs $9.00 Each saw purchased also costs $9.00, although anything else you buy that we can fit in the box rides for free. Saw vises cost a flat $15 per owing to weight, and can also be combined with other goods.

Now!	Learn to File a Saw!	Best on the web, check out our saw filing primer and learn how to file a saw. Let's face it, if you can build a chest of drawers, you can do this. It's my mission to teach everyone who uses saws to learn to keep them in shape.	Here!
