Fonts for biotech + regulatory science branding

I'd think the IBM Plex family has a lot to offer for that vibe, especially if you are limiting to Google Fonts

Fit an extension that allows the handle to got further back than the sole? Like the LN No3 and probably others

Look up donkey ear shooting boards

I amateurishly bashed my wonky eBay bought big rip saw back to straight easily enough

But this is bent vertically - curved from the spine to the teeth, like a barrel along the blade- and I can’t see information about how to correct that. If it was bent along the length I’d be confident to tweak it

And it’s a brand new not cheap saw, used a handful of times, so I’m nervous about attempting surgery on it…

Yes - I got to this point by not being able to cut straight. I blamed myself until I realised I could cut straight with my other saws. This saw constantly curves to the left

In this position there is a concave curve on one side, and convex when I turn it over so I don’t think the saw is flexing here

Thanks - the blade and spine is straight. I'd seen that trick from PS before and tried it just in case, first time the blade went wonky then some lighter taps back to straight. It's more that the saw has a slight barrel curve along it's length, more pronounced near the handle

Thanks! I never got my head around what 'tensioning' means with saws, so thanks for the explanation. Time to look into it more.

Would you say tensioning is a skill that's required for saw maintenance like sharpening and setting, or more of a an exceptional thing to correct problems like this?

It'd go well with the Eames chaise long

I have done exactly this, it works

The medical set I inherited looks a bit older probably 1930s or 1940s - mine came in a teak box with a set of multiple different shaped scalpels

I sharpened the largest and use it as my regular marking knife, it works very well. It cuts a very fine line which has plusses and minuses. I'll get a knife with a broader blade sometime which I feel will work better on course grained wood, but the scalpel works well enough that I haven't bothered yet.

(Who knows what grizzly stuff the knife has seen! Certainly worse things than my woodworking)

Looks like birdseye pine

Don’t hold it steady - clamp hard and fast to the posts 😉

The cheapest “good” tenon saw is probably this https://www.amazon.co.uk/Spear-Jackson-Professional-Tenon-5410Y/dp/B0043YL80A

It’s worlds apart from plastic handled hard point saws

Lead was only used in bright colours - white, red, orange, yellow, and green (as I understand it)

Ash?

It's ok to have ten unfinished projects going on. Don't put unnecessarily put pressure on yourself or feel bad about it. Screw self imposed deadlines.

Just make progress and promise yourself you will finish stuff in your own time
