Reasonably Intelligent Maker

 So check out my latest video where I make 3 different batches of soap in real time making use of the "aRTy O'SHLeP" method and masterbatching

 Okay, so it bothered me last night and I started over. I also based it on the image from the Disstonian Institute. So for those who are interested here it is, with drill holes and all!! There is a faint ghost of the original image in the JPG version below. However, it was distracting, so I removed it from the PDF.  Print it on US Letter Paper and double check that you are not doing any scaling and I think it should turn out right. The screw holes are not sized just positioned. The guide holes all have sized circles in them to assist with cutting it out.  If you run into any problems or find any discrepancies, let me know! And here is the PDF: Disston D8 Thumbhole Template

One of my favorite images of this saw is from the Disstonian site  The Disstonian Institution Many templates for saw handles exist online. Such as Craftsmanspace , Two Guys In A Garage , and  Blackburn Tools .  I just assumed that the popular thumb-hole D8 was one of them. Although I saw it mentioned in a few articles, like those on that paywalled woodworking site, the references to it seem to fall on dead links and 404 pages. After deciding that I will make one myself, I also tracked down someone who mentioned using a template found online. He still had a copy and shared it with me.  So I am putting a copy of that file here for all to have. I find no copyright statement in it so I feel comfortable sharing it here. If this changes, and someone wants to claim it as their own, I will happily give them attribution or take it down whichever is appropriate.  As well, I am in the process of creating one based on a photograph posted at Blackburn's site http://www.blackburntools.com/articl
