I'm making this fire surround and my router needs new brushes,sent off for
them but need to crack on as time is importent.
Anyway I need to cut the bottom legs square,I'd much rather use me router
but have to use a pull saw.
I havn't used a pull saw in years and was looking for a *sandvik* but
trying to get one locally was trying to find a needle in a haystack.

first of all I'm not an expert in saws, bought a couple of cheap ones
now and again .

(pull saws) I always thought they were a bit gimicky , however our
local netto had some in for a tenner, and I thought "what the heck"

sails through most things with ease, very neat cut. Father in law
borrowed it and commented on how good it was .

Moral of this story ?
Buy your hand tools at netto

Nice job. Is it from a plan? Or did you design it yourself?

Designed it myself, however sometimes you need inspiration so went looking
at some over the net.

I had spare spindles left over from the stair ones I replaced and thought
about cutting them in half for the legs of the surround as moldings where
far too expensive.

Its cost me my time and 35GBP even cheaper than those MDF sad jobs you can
pick up for 45GBP?

Will post a pic when finished.

I didn't realise you were so talented.

You could get employment as a handyman with such craftsmanship.
