   My solution to that problem about six years was Millers Falls on ebay. Search "Millers Falls" in the Collectible tools area. $10-$20, 1940s, 1950s vintage. Made better back then. Good luck.

   coping saw

   Stanley has a decent Fat Max version that Chris Schwartz sings the praises of but he warns that you need to check the locking mechanism because some are made less than well. I haven't tried one out and am stillusing one I think I bought from Tools for Working Wood

   Olsen coping saw available from Tools for Working Wood

   PJ:

   I have a Craftsman coping saw which  is identical to the Olsen coping saw sold by Tools for Working Wood or Highland Woodworking (highlandwoodworking.com).  As coping saws go, it is the best available at the present time.  While you are on the Tools for Working Wood website checkout the Grammercy Bow Saw.  If $150 is out of your range, they offer free plans and you can buy just the pins and blades.  Think of the bow saw as a coping saw on steroids.
