Thank you everyone. I am one of those guys that had to have and did everything in the past with modern POWER tools, The bigger the better! Crafting with hand tools is therfore, somewhat new to me. I will learn given the time. The same goes for this new building, I could throw in some poles, girts, trusses and be done in two weeks. I quess I am now slowing down in my older age and beginning to take note in the craftsmanship and rich detail of our past architecture.

I have located a vintage Atkins 5 1/2tpi 26" saw, never used, still in original packaging. Would this be a good one to add to my kit and any idea on a fair price to pay?
