    +1 for the Ryoba. Having cross and rip cut on the same blade makes it versatile for a number of uses.

    A Dozuki saw is essentially a tenon saw so would be ideal for tenons. It has more TPI than the crosscut side of a Ryoba so would give a finer finish. Depends on the level of finish you're going for. From a handsaw point of view I have a Ryoba and a japanese dovetail saw for really fine work and these two cover everything I need them for.

    My favourite place for good quality tools is Workshop Heaven, they have a good selection of Japanese saws if that is your preference too.

    Southbound on CS7 alongside Clapham Common around 9.30 ish? If so I was the guy in front with arms aloft enjoying the torrent of water!

    Guaranteed to be me!
    Yeah that section can get a bit hairy in the evenings, all the cars making the mad 200m dash to wait at the next set of lights on the corner.... Shout next time and I'll give you a wave/skid!

    I'll keep an eye out. Seems like you'd be hard to miss!

    Yes that was almost certainly me as well especially if it was around 7 in the morning.

    black sweet fixie, red jersey, bigXtop mini messenger riding over hillcross ave in morden about 7ish this eve? was running along the road just before you hit the end by the roundabout.

    would have das'd but you were trying to hold traffic behind you back to take the right lane onto the roundabout.

    That must have been me! It's a blue Dolan but impressive detail nonetheless. Always have to be assertive heading on to that roundabout to stop cars attempting ridiculous overtakes.

    First time i've been spotted to my knowledge too!

    Lovely bike but a fraction too big for me!

    Saw this on my way home around 18.50 a hundred metres or so before the petrol station on the left hand side.

    Didn't look good with multiple emergency vehicles in attendance and others heading to the scene.

    Thoughts are with the rider.
