Hi folks, I'm enjoying this forum (new for me!). Here are some past tools I saved:
#1 In which I found a NOS Atkins No. 400 "piano finish" rosewood saw tote, undrilled, unslotted, at an antique mall not far from the old Atkins factory. I fitted this tote to a nice Atkins blade; my brother has this saw now:
#2 A Fulton version of the Millers Falls No. 7 (size of Stanley No. 2). You can barely see it, but I laboriously cut a piece out of another base-casting and JB-welded it into a matching-contour I refined at the formerly broken front corner. I also made a new rear tote from Desert Ironwood, and took a nice cocobolo front knob from a Millers Falls parts-plane. This one sold on an auction last (don't worry, I never make any money):
