Here is the latest one. I got this Buck Creek Congress in a box of stuff, and when I got to looking at it, of the 4 blades 2 were broken off and the other 2 were worn out from sharpening. It is kind of a neat looking frame and a nice size, so I decided to convert it. An 18 gauge steel insert replaced the blades and springs, and was made to give the illusion of the original outline of a 4 blade congress. I included a key ring into this one to make it even more useful.

Good morning all. I made these from a broken industrial band saw blade. Someone in another forum was asking about them, and if anyone made them, so I did.
