Falls Miterbox Saw
|

|
This is a 1/6th scale
model of a "Millers Falls" miterbox saw that
was made in the 1950's. It was a beautifully designed
and built tool. The saw frame was cast iron and other
parts were machined from solid steel bar stock. Most
of the hardware items were nickel plated. Tools with
that kind of quality are not made anymore and never
will be again.
The model saw frame is milled from solid brass. The
saw blade is brass sheet and the rest of the saw is
machined from miscellaneous brass bar stock. The saw
handle and the material deck is walnut for a nice
contrast to the brass.
This model almost looks like jewelry and will look
great on your desk, the fireplace mantle or in your
curio cabinet. I made this saw as a gift for a friend
(George W. Neff) in 1977. How about you making one for
that really special carpenter relative or friend of
yours?
The plans set consists of 5 sheets of drawings.
(Sorry, the above
pictures were duplicated from 23 year old slides that
are not very good.)
