Welcome to the first full day of summer! I'm looking forward to completing a few personal projects, building a few saws, fixing some old ones and getting ready for Sawlapalooza with Tom Fidgen and Mark Harrell in July! What's on your summer list?

The Crosscut Saw class was invaluable. Arden had a wealth of knowledge. I was able to bring three saws back from the grave as full restorations. The connections I made there were invaluable too as I was the only one not previously connected to the US Forest Service. I've already started building my vice and look forward to sharpening the rest of my 10 crosscut saws. I believe I've secured a steady supply of good files from an overseas factory and a local supply of fresh timber as test logs to ensure the ones I sharpen are perfect. Hopefully I can talk my beautiful wife into letting me attend another class at Ninemile Ranger Station next year.

I've spent the past few weeks preparing for this years Crosscut Saw Maintenance and Sharpening Class with the USDA Forest Service at the Ninemile Wildlands Training Center in Huson Montana. I hope I've collected the best set of tools with the widest variety of crosscut saws to get the most out this elite course. I should be well on my way to becoming a true Saw Doctor from dovetail to logging. The next project is to finish the search for the best and most sustainable saw file making company. I've got a few prospects, but I'm open to suggestions.

After two years and no touch ups, this saw still cuts like a dream. The benefits of owning a quality tool and taking care of it. I expect it to last forever.

Thursday starts another excellent educational opportunity at Red Rocks Community College in Lakewood, CO. I'm looking forward to learning Advanced Hand Tool Techniques from Master Craftsman Steve Cayou. Todays modern cabinet shop is a perfect mixture of both machine and hand tool work. I hope what I learn will further advance my woodworking skill at GLT and make me a more effective educator for my students attending the Woods Manufacturing Program in Peyton, CO.

We've spent the past few weeks perfecting the process for hand making our turning saws. Thank you to everyone who has ordered one! The sixth one ships tomorrow to Vic in Canada!
