Review
Marquetry Chevalet Prototype
In the course of the WIA 2016 exhibition, we introduced our prototype Marquetry Chevalet (soon to be in production). This prototype wouldn’t have happened without the friendly collaboration and incessant encouragement from our good friend and a respected woodworker, Don Williams.
Don put together a rave review about his firsthand experience using the prototype Marquetry Chevalet saw at the conference.
Check out Don’s review here...

Knew Concepts Swivel Blade Clamp Inspiration
The Fenner Patent Frame Saw. Crazy.
If you look closely at the photo’s in Don’s prototype Marquetry Chevalet saw review, (see article above) there is a saw on the bench in the background. It is the Fenner (patented 1884) that Chris Schwarz (the long-time editor and now contributing editor to Popular Woodworking) gave me at the show. This is where the entire idea of our swivel blade clamps came from.
Read all about this crazy saw on the Chris Schwarz Blog.

Hand Tool Olympics
We have a Winner!
Let’s have a big round of applause for Charlie Kocourek, winner of the WIA 2016 Hand Tool Olympics! Charlie secured first place by hand sawing a complete dovetail—using a dove tail saw for the angled cuts and the Coping saw to remove the waste in between, then assembling the dovetails together.
For his outstanding work, Charlie took home a brand new Knew Concepts Coping Saw as a prize.
Congratulations Charlie!
“Thank you Knew Concepts for sponsoring the Hand Tool Olympics.
I love my new saw!!!”
~Charlie
