David Farmer Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 I picked this up as I've seen many times these old saw blades make very good knives. And there's a lot of steel in a 56" sawmill blade for projects let me tell ya. Unfortunately now I think it's way to nice a piece to sacrifice. Now if I can con my wife into painting a picture of Heaphaestus at the forge or something on it it's going to become my way to big, potentially deadly shop clock. Been having a heck of a time finding new steel in my area ( heard many horror stories of buying online) but I think I tracked one down today. Hopefully in the next week or so I'll have some pics to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Cochran Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 That would be a cool looking clock. I used to drool over a 36" blade like that for a long time that hung on an old dog eared fence. I think the owners sold the house cause now the blade is gone and so is the fence lol. There's a good list of steel suppliers in the knife section. I have personally dealt with New Jersey steel baron and would recomend them to anyone. Send me a pm if you want and I might can lead you to a couple other people selling steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.C. Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Well done! That is a great use for the blade. And the contrast with the wood is perfect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
