Thanks for the links.  I have a few crosscut saws that may soon be on there way to Jim's crosscut saw's.

Ya don't happen to have a spare handle or jointer do ya?  I'm not lucking out with the antique stores.

Robert,

I have some of the sharpening stuff but don't know how to use it.  I have seen handles  and jointers at Don's tools in Laffayette, on 99w north of McMinnville.  Jim's crosscut saws lists all of that and saws too.

Thanks Bill.  I do have a handle on order from Jim's but they want too much for the gages.  Ebay prices are ridiculous too.  But if I can't find anything cheaper I may have to go that route.
