What a coincidence, my son and I got out my grandpas cross cut yesterday and started a new handle for it. thanks for sharing the video!

That is a nice one. Its awesome that it still has a top handle.

nice they say the handles are worth more than the saws    is that true

[beenthere]

Last I knew, handles were still available..

Great video, thank you! I think handles are available at a couple places, but somehow I just like the idea of making them myself just a little more

Thanks for sharing your video. In my 20's, I worked in the Bob Marshall Wilderness here in MT.  A lot of time was spent using a one and two man crosscut  saw. Steve was a coworker/guide/ packer/wrangler and we got pretty good at sawing as a team. I was attending the University of Montana and he caught up with me on campus. The Forestry department was getting ready for their annual Forester's ball and they had a crosscut competition. We won it!

I always appreciated Steve for his respect of the "old days". Once a year, he insisted on taking his old octagon barreled, open sighted 30-30 hunting. It was to honor his grandfather, who gave him the rifle when he was a kid.
Thanks for rekindling some great memories!
