I'm making this fire surround and my router needs new brushes,sent off for them but need to crack on as time is importent. Anyway I need to cut the bottom legs square,I'd much rather use me router but have to use a pull saw. I havn't used a pull saw in years and was looking for a *sandvik* but trying to get one locally was trying to find a needle in a haystack.

Why should anyone care about the wallpaper in the spare room(my workshop). :-P
You like the fire surround,I can tell. ;-)

So much so I was dazzled and had to look away - to the wallpaper!
first of all I'm not an expert in saws, bought a couple of cheap ones now and again .
(pull saws) I always thought they were a bit gimicky , however our local netto had some in for a tenner, and I thought "what the heck"
sails through most things with ease, very neat cut. Father in law borrowed it and commented on how good it was .
Moral of this story ? Buy your hand tools at netto :)
Heh! a stanley saw will set you back a tenner,why would I want to trek 4 miles for my nearest netto?

I read that as :- "our local ghetto"
no our local ghetto only sells crack cocain and late model bmws :)
Nice job. Is it from a plan? Or did you design it yourself?
Designed it myself, however sometimes you need inspiration so went looking at some over the net.
I had spare spindles left over from the stair ones I replaced and thought about cutting them in half for the legs of the surround as moldings where far too expensive.
Its cost me my time and 35GBP even cheaper than those MDF sad jobs you can pick up for 45GBP?
Will post a pic when finished.
Erm! *mouldings* lol

I didn't realise you were so talented.
You could get employment as a handyman with such craftsmanship.
