A Special Holiday Offer

I have a special offer for all the woodworkers that read my blog.

What we will do:
Kashley, Megan and I will sharpen your handsaws for you for $15 each. Actually, Kashley or Megan will sharpen your saws while I keep a close eye on them. Don't worry, yours is not be the first saw they have sharpened. They will joint your saw (you still aren't using the full length of the saw are you??), re-shape the teeth (where necessary), sharpen the teeth, adjust the set (if necessary), true the run of the saw (adjust it to saw straight), and wax the plate. They will then repack it carefully with the test board and return it to you. They will not re-tooth, straighten or de-rust your saw. They will also only sharpen western saws, no saws that cut on the pull. They will not repair totes.

What you have to do:
Arrange for delivery of the saw to me by December 15, details in a moment. Include a check for $15 PLUS the cost of getting the saw back to you. I do take credit cards but only in person. It should cost the same to get it to you as it did to get it to me. Include the following information for each saw; your name and address, whether you are using the saw for hard or soft woods, if it is a cross-cut saw and you know the amount of fleam you like include that information, a method to contact you in case we need additional information. If it were my saw, I'd write that stuff on the saw plate with a sharpy, you may want to write it on paper and tape it to the saw plate, your choice.

How to make it happen:
Contact me to reserve your place in line, email me at billsias (at) gmail (dot) com.

We will sharpen the saws on December 16 ONLY, therefore we are limiting the number of saws in this offer to 10. After the ten saws the price will go back to normal rates and will be sharpened by me. During this offer either Megan or Kashley will receive the entire payment (other than the shipping costs).

If you have a saw that needs more than just a sharpening contact me to set that up as well. I can make Grandpa's saw look like it did when he was using it.
