Junior Hacksaw

A hacksaw frame that takes 6-inch "junior" hacksaw blades.

Unlike full size 12-inch blades which have a hole at each end, the junior blades have a small pin at each end. In this design two M3 x 8mm socket head screws guide the blade and trap the pin, holding the blade securely.

To fit the blade slip the handle end into place then flex the frame to allow the far end to be slotted in to position. The flexing of the frame provides tension to keep the blade taut.

Clearly the practical usefu
