Needed a coping saw the other day so went out to my in laws garage and found this beauty. And for an added bonus it works on bone too!

Only $1.19 !!!!

 

My therapist tells me I need to learn to cope, but I am not sure this is what he means.

 

Made in the USA!!!

Nice find ! I used one similar to that one quite a bit back in my carpentry days it was a must have for some trim work . 👍

 

Just need a tourniquet to have an emergency amputation kit!!😂

 

Very cool.

My guess is that it is more likely from you in-law's grandparents era.

 

There are various uses, but my dad used such a coping saw to run crown moulding and such as he was a journeyman carpenter. It was essential for cutting the backside out of the joints so they fit tightly. In his day about the only electric saws used on residential building sites were Skill Saws, and it was a rarity to even see a table saw set up. Along with this type coping saw he also utilized a carpenter hand saw, and a manual brace and bit for drilling holes.

 

Swedish Analysis Spring Steel? I wonder what that means.

 

I like the Stanley brand saw, most people don’t know how to cope moldings. You never miter an inside joint.

 

I love old tools. Very cool. 👍

 

Apparently Sweden is known for producing high quality steel so I leaned something. Cool old tool by the way...

 

And meat *****

 

And babes.

 

Should I feel old because a have a few of those with replacement blades in my toolbox?

 

Not at all, I just used my coping daw re trimming my sunroom.

 

oh the old days...
