Sorry, the above pictures were duplicated from 23 year old slides
that are not very good.
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?
