In our current day and age, the manufacturing of tools is often subordinate to making a quick profit. The more manufacturing is automated, the more a tool becomes soulless and uniform. Saw sharpening is becoming a lost art.

The skills that were needed in arts and crafts before the rise of automated manufacturing were gradually lost. It is our aim to re-learn and preserve these skills in creating, restoring and maintaining the saws you need for creative woodworking.

We also regularly restore saws and other vintage tools and put them up for sale in our shop.

Please like our Facebook page to keep in touch with us and see when we post new saws and other tools for sale. Below are a few examples of vintage and handmade tools in our shop:

Testimonials


Neil Sutherland, building and decorating

Great bloke brought a saw from him very happy with it. Gave me sound advice on saws I have and am getting a new handle made for one I have. Highly recommended on every aspect and very knowledgeable.

Sent a few old saws down to get resharpened Jakob’s saw revival did an amazing job. A pleasure to do business with, responds very quickly to any questions asked and is very knowledgeable about the saws. Very highly recommended.

Richard Mallinson, Architectural Modelmaker

Saws arrived safely this afternoon and are absolutely superb! I particularly like the feel and cut quality of the carcass saw.  It leaves a superb clean cut on beech. The Disston handle is really comfortable thank you and the saw is easy starting with a very fine set which leaves a clean finish with no blade wobble.

Robert Fitzpatrick

The saws are back in use. They feel as if they cut like new – or perhaps better, so many thanks. A great job.
