À propos de ce contenu audio
The global market for saw blades might be worth $16bn a year, but there’s only one saw factory left in the UK.
In today’s show we visit Sheffield’s Thomas Flinn & Co to learn how they’ve been cutting teeth for the past 100 years.
Number 39 on our list of the greatest products we make here is The Musical Saw.
Director Katie Ellis’ family have owned the company for generations. She explains why heritage crafts must be preserved, how her company has pivoted to survive in the era of cheap imports, and why she’s moving to new premises – just don’t suggest leaving Sheffield.
We also learn how to file 200 teeth in under two minutes, get a quick explanation of how musical saws work, and find novel ways to use Lego.
