they will only do local pick up but yeh thats what im looking for

Yer I read that too, maybe you could speak to one of the members on here and ask them topick it up and mail it to you if you cover the costs? Falcon and a few others all live in that sort of area (have a look on the site members map if it's up and running again)..... they might be able to help.

Or try emailing the seller and say that you'll pick the costs up if they'll ship it....

Only one I could see on there I'm afraid.

Cheers,

Bam.

...but be aware that you need to provide your own handles.

Two men saws are a pleasure to use when you get the flow going and you soon cut through a lot of wood. It's just a bugger if you get out of synch.

www.crosscutsaw.com While across the ocean in New York, this company is the best resource for saws, tools and an excellent book on maintenance. A true running crosscut is a marvelously efficient tool. One in poor condition is what used to be called a 'misery whip.' You should also consider if this is for hardwoods, softwoods or frozen timber, and the possibility of using a oneman saw.

Chris beat me to it

Crosscutsaw.com seem to know their stuff - I ordered some sharpening stuff from them a while back that came promptly with no problems. They also answered e-mail enquiries when I got stuck trying to use it. Some of the kit they have in their catalogue is hard to find elsewhere.

I have a couple of crosscut saws - a two hander and a 4.5 foot one man. I can just about tune them so they cut sweetly.

The one man saw is great and if I'm cutting stuff less than 6 or 8 inches I'll pick it up rather than the chainsaw every time.

If you do get a crosscut saw I would definately get hold of the crosscut saw manual to learn how to keep it in shape.

Hi Warthog

I have one or two and a pit saw if you are really feeling brave drop me a PM if you are interested.

I finally learned what Cat Stevens or whatever his name is today was singing about in " Tea for the Tillerman" when I operated a pitsaw.

Remember a friend finding a lovely crosscut at a carboot sale for a few quid, given some TLC was a very nice to use.

Also use to use a large 30"+ bowsaw occasionally as a two person crosscut saw.
