I'm happy to report that a couple of a favorite Gramercy tools products that have been out of stock for a while are now back in stock.
First of all. The Gramercy Tools Saw Vise is back! We were particularly sorry to run out with the renewed interest in saw sharpening brought by the recent publication of our friend Matt Cianci’s “Set & File: A Practical Guide to Saw Sharpening. “ Manufacturing the saw vise isn't easy and it took a little while to fill up the pipeline again.

Second of all. The English pattern Gramercy tools veneer saw is also back in stock. This is a big deal. It went out of stock because of humongous price rises from our blade supplier. We get in rough cut blades and we do all the sharpening and installing, handle finishing, etc. in house. It took months of negotiation, exploration, and experimentation to change the process of manufacture enough so we could save some steps, and keep the price pretty much where it was. (I'm particularly proud of this.) We never ran out of the other styles, but the English pattern saw is far and away the most popular.

You'll have noticed, or maybe not, but I haven't written a blog in the past bunch of weeks until now. I have been busy. We have been releasing new products over the past months including both a coarse and fine version of the Spoonmaker's Riffler Rasps. And all I am doing these days is being ankle deep in production drawings and figuring out how to make stuff. But it takes more time then I ever imagined.
