Saw vise curves
Taking a few minutes to add artistic flair to the saw vise. I cut curves onto each end of the cross piece. I did this using a saw and chisel finishing up with a spokeshave. A couple of people have asked me why I do it this way rather than use a coping or bow saw. The answer…I enjoy it. I don’t think it is any slower and it is fun popping out the wood with the chisel and attempting to follow the curve before finishing with a spokeshave.
All done with the curves, not bad for an hour. Perhaps I can finish up this weekend amongst a soccer tournament, 11 mile run, yard work, planting potatoes and all the other things that need to be done.

That is a really cool technique. I don’t yet have a bandsaw and these seems like an easy alternative. Cool.
I do have a band saw and find this a much more pleasant way of getting this done. thanks for stopping by.
