Uhhh,,,,,,wrong guy.  Daryl is not a saw maker but is very proficient at restoration and sharpening.  I took a class from him in Chicago which allows me to maintain all of my saws.  I found him through Slav, the file Guru in Chicago, who set up an all-day filing seminar in '08 or '09.  He sold a lot of saws on Ebay, but I can't recall his eBay handle.  He lives in central Illinois.  Slav would know, but I don't have his info either.

Daryl's eBay user name is 'woodnut4'

You can also find him on Facebook where he is fairly active in a number of groups, including Saws, Using, Collecting, Cleaning, and Restoring.

My bad.  Isaac cited Daryl as one of the guys who does saw sharpening, so when I googled Daryl Weir saws, the hit came up on Blackburn Tools' website.

Hey Mike,

I don't know why but I clicked on the bookmark for this site. I was in between working on a No.12 saw and saw handle and sat down. I know I haven't been here in ages! More on Facebook than anywhere else and that's a little limited too. I'm planning on retiring at the end of this year, so hopefully that will give me more time to work on saws and other things.

My contact is dweir60@gmail.com now. I hope that is allowed on here....sorry to the mods if it isn't.
Take care,
Daryl
