This summer, I acquired a typographical trimming saw (Sawliner Milwaukee Saw trimmer Corp.) at an auction at our old tool group meetup. I have not been able to find much information on the saw. It was used in publishing, I'm assuming, for making small cuts on books and paper. I would like to use it for cutting small parts out of wood as it has a nice fence system for making cross cuts and making square pieces. Upon bringing it back to the shop, I cleaned it up and I ordered a new blade for it. However, the blade that came did not cut very well and I was somewhat disappointed with it. I have gone back to the blade that came with a saw which works much better. I also bought and put together a mobile base for the saw so I can move it around to various locations in the shop.

In the cabinet of the saw are a series of cubbies. I thought it would be nice to make some wooden drawers to fit into these spaces. I made these drawers out of pine wood I'm trying to use up. The drawer bottoms are from a scrap piece of ¼ inch plywood and the handles are from a scrap piece of walnut wood.
