We have a friend who is a retired chemist. He makes wine in his basement. This is a little of his orange rhubarb wine. When the wine is all gone we give him back the empty bottle and he gives us a full bottle. Here I am, making an empty.

Still looking handsome as ever after all these years. This is an exceptionally well turned out example.
Jeeps were used by every service of the U.S. military. An average of 145 were supplied to every Army infantry regiment. Jeeps were used for many purposes including cable laying, saw milling, as firefighting pumpers, field ambulances, tractors and, with suitable wheels, would even run on railway tracks. An amphibious jeep, the model GPA, or "seep" (Sea Jeep) was built for Ford in modest numbers but it could not be considered a huge success—it was neither a good off-road vehicle nor a good boat.
As part of the war effort, nearly 30% of all Jeep production was supplied to Great Britain and to the Soviet Red Army.
The handles on the sides and rear corners were fitted for manhandling the vehicle if it got stuck. They are not lifting points for use by a crane. The unloaded weight of the Jeep was around 1,040 kilograms.
"The Jeep, the Dakota airplane, and the landing craft were the three tools that won the war."

Nick was trying to demonstrate how easy it is for one to lift and carry the Paper Bicycle with the carry handle. He doesn't quite get how to make it look natural, but bless, he was having fun.
This is a 24 inch Sandvik no 277 hand saw filed crosscut at 6 TPI. The saw has been cleaned, polished and the tooth line has been jointed, refiled with moderately sloping gullets and set to work as a quick and efficient, yet user friendly saw.
This saw has a plastic handle and Phillips saw nuts made of brass. Although it sports the Högboo etch, it is actually a model no 277 straight back saw, one of Sandvik's best and longest living models. The Högboo "etch" refers to a celebration of sorts, but the etch is nothing more than a print.
This saw would fit in rather late in the Sandvik production, probably not being made before the 1980s.
I have seen several "Högboo" saws before but they have all been fitted with hardwood handles. Tthis is the first I've seen with a plastic handle. This example was found in my native Finland, and as always seems to be the case around here, it is a crosscut saw filed 6 TPI or 7 PPI. I have yet to find one single premium Sandvik saw that would have been filed anything else than crosscut and the variation in teeth per inch is just one tooth per inch.
I have no ideas why Sandvik though Finns only wanted crosscut saws and a fixed tooth configuration, and I'd be happy to be found wrong, but in three years of rust hunting I've had about 30-40 Sandvik 270 series hand saws, and I've never seen saws configured any differently.
Well, going back to this saw. Since I'm trying to create a timeline for the Sandvik saw production, I have some theories which currently form the foundation of my studies. A general notion is that plastic handles are later than wooden handles. Well, this isn't entirely true, I fear, at leads not as far as Sandvik is concerned.
This Högboo saw has a plastic handle but no hang hole. Högboo saws with wooden handles do have a hang hole. This doesn't have to mean that the hang hole was a later invention, but it is indicative enough to make me believe that there could either have been different handle materials used for different markets or that Sandvik wanted to pimp their saws in order to make more profit, hence reintroducing a wooden handle on certain models. The Högboo "etch" could also have been an attempt to make the saws more attractive.
My theories are far from bullet proof, but as long as I'm making the assumptions myself, this will be my assumption. If you know better, please do let me know.
Most of the premium Sandvik saws were made with a breasted saw plate. This one did not have one. I am pretty sure the saw had not been filed since leaving the factory. The tooth line indicates that the teeth were cut and probably also sharpened with the use of machines. The very wide and ugly gullets were far to evenly and uniformly spaced to have been created by hand. So therefore it could have been that Sandvik dropped the breasted tooth lines at a later stage.
Although the Sandvik steel remained top quality until the bitter end, the shape of the teeth became increasingly poor. Yes, I'm sure the people at Sandvik get a wider gullet would help with the removal of green wood fibres, but still. It's not purdy, is it?
So at some point Sandvik ditched the breasted tooth line. Since the saw plate is otherwise identical to the no 270, this change could have been permanent and would have affected the whole line of premium saws, the no 270, no 271 and no 277 as well as the 280 series ship point saws (if they even remained in production at this stage).
Now a few words about the Högboo saw and the idea behind this etch variation and celebration.
In very short: Högboo or nowadays Högbo Bruk was one of many places where steel was manufactured since a very long and uncertain time. The year 1711 (as seen in the etch) was the year when "Högbo Bruk" started using the logotype depicting a grapevine (also seen in the middle of the etch). Högbo Bruk was later acquired by Göran Fredrik Göransson, the founder of the Sandvikens Jernverks Aktioebolag. Göransson had invented a way to develop high quality Bessemer steel on an industrial scale. In 1862 the steel production was moved from Högbo to a nearby sandy bay very close to the rail road (Swedish: sandig vik). This sand y bay became the small city Sandviken, where history was made.
So going back to the Högboo saw. Högbo is relevant to the Sandvik company. But the year 1711 has nothing to do with their saw production. And the grapevine is merely a logotype for the Högbo Steel Works, which has very little to do with Sandvik. Sandvik started their hand saw production in 1886 on another location. So whatever was the cause for this celebratory etch, the reason isn't obvious to me. Which is why I will consider this model as a marketing gimmick, until proven otherwise.

2452. We're not sure if 'Braces' Bracegirdle still had the handling of HMAS BATAAN when this happened, but as everyone knows, he was a great officer but a somewhat notorious ship handler.
Well, look at this - the port side sponson is almost torn away, and the B turret 4.7 inch shield is is as knocked up as granddaughter Veronica. And all hell's been scaped out of the forepeak faring. It looks like a calm day, too - no sign of any seaway.

Color Your World Red - 3/10
I don't normally remember my dreams but I was startled awake at 5am this morning dreaming that I was being driven in an RV on a low bridge and the person driving reached for something and turned the steering wheel and drove over the bridge into the water and I was drowning.
I think I might be a bit overwhelmed. I am in charge of our school's live auction {March 5th} and everything needs to be done in the next couple of weeks and my family and I are going skiing next weekend in Sunriver, Oregon and then my daughter and I are heading to New York with her choir to sing at Carnegie Hall. I know those last two are fun things but it is all the details that become my responsibility to make them happen that is stressing me out. I also have just the normal household things that I need to get done, you know, like paying the bills, cooking and cleaning and helping kids with homework. All the details are floating around in my head and leaving a pit in my stomach. I have so many balls in the air I am sure to drop one and it is stressing me out a bit.
This bit brace is one of many hasty impulse "investments". I liked the look of it and the fact that it was fitted with rosewood really sealed the deal. I was aware of issue when I bought it but I did not even check the jaws. There were none.
Well, sometimes jaws can easily be replaced bit this example calls for very deep jaws and although I have found a pair that works, they're not ideal. Also the top handle was very wobbly and despite much time repairing it, I still have not been able to stabilize the top handle. The chuck wobbles as well which is really all down to wear and cannot be fixed. The left hand brass handle ferrule is cracked which makes the rosewood handle slide and to really rub salt in my wounds one of the ratchet dogs is worn out meaning it will not operate once loaded with the friction of a auger bit.
Well, as much as it was a waste if money, it was a very good learning experience. This is the first bit brace I have taken apart completely - and I mean completely.
If you know the maker and model, please let me know. I have found absolutely no markings on this one.
