I was cutting my tenons down to size, and guess what fell off of the workbench? Crud.
Aww, Snap!

To repair or replace, that is the question.
I may glue the handle as a stop-gap. I’ll call Lie-Nielsen in the morning and get a price for a replacement handle.
I probably need to order a Bad Axe saw as a backup in case this happens again, right?
I like my bad axe…I love the R Groves I bought used. Why don’t you make a handle yourself, you have a pattern?
Ohhh, just what I need – another project! 🙂
The nice thing about the LN saw handle is you can buy a replacement that will fit. I replaced the one on my dovetail for $25. I wish LN would switch to a different wood for the handles – I think curly maple is too prone to chipping.
Oh .. hateful!!! What a bummer. I’d probably glue and get back to work. That’s a pretty catastophic failure. Bet Mark (Bad Axe) could make you a better replacement handle that would hold up better. Just a thought.
Ok, this is amazing. I sent an email to LN asking about the cost for a replacement handle. The offered to ship me a replacement for free, or if I sent them my saw they would install it and ship it back at no charge.
Wow.
Wow!
I know, right? Totally unexpected and certainly not necessary. I bought the split nut driver so I can install it myself.
Epoxy itandit will be stronger then ever!!!!
I was going to glue it as a stop-gap until the new handle came, but the two parts don’t fit together well — I guess the handle had warped and was under tension. I’m past the point of needing it on this project, by time I need it again I’ll have the replacement in hand.
