DON'T DO IT! I set out innocently to buy a small panel saw to put in my
grandGIT's toolbox. Cute little Woodrough & McParlin, bought from Galoot
Jim Crammond at Darley's Barn. Hmm, that looks kinda nice alongside the
little Henry Disston (no sons) I bought for $65 at an auction a few years
ago. (Thanks again for bowing out, Chris. Yeah, thanks a lot. Greased a
slope I didn't even see.)

Y'know, I kinda like those little Disstons, especially the nibbed
varieties. Oh, look, the Leach Ness Monster has a cute little Atkins on
Ebay. Uh oh, here's a little Taylor (Sheffield) panel saw with a spiffy
beech handle. About 20 small panel saws later, well, you know....

Don't risk it. If the first one don't getcha, you'll buy another and that
one will.
