The Old Saw goes back to 1991 with Jon Siegel as its first editor. The content grew over the years to include feature woodworking articles.

By 2008, these woodworking articles consumed a full two-thirds of our printed 180 page content each year. We made a decision to split our single publication in two—The Journal (magazine) and The Old Saw (newsletter).

Over time, publishing became less frequent as digital communication (a weekly newsletter called TouchUps) took over. In 2015, The Old Saw was repurposed to primarily cover Guild business. Those individual articles are preserved here. The editor was Alan Saffron.
