Heute habe ich den kleinen Ulmia Hilfsspannstock entrosten und frisch geölt. Das stand lange auf der To-Do liste
Today I derusted and oiled a Umia Hilfaspannstock, (Helping Vise?).
New Veritas Saw set
Veritas released their new saw set: https://www.leevalley.com/en-us/shop/tools/hand-tools/118411-veritas-saw-set
I had the chance to test a prototype earlier this year. First impression:
Wonderfully made tool.
Smooth comfortable handle.
Clear view on the teeth.
Wide flats to rest on many teeth.
Extrem slim hammer, to meet the tiniest teeth.
An anvil adjustment with letters, not numbers. No more confusion.
Any downside? Not really. The set weights double or more than the Stanley 42x, wich it was mostly inspired by. And I have the same problem as I have with the Stanley 42x: I cannot set blades in my saw vise, because the handle and the vise need the same space.
