What thickness of plate did you use?
How did you cut the plate (I use a 1mm cutting disk in an angle grinder for cutting saw plate, but have not attempted a narrow blade like this)?
How did you set the teeth on the bow saw blade? I am thinking of making a hardwood anvil out of some tough local timber and using a nail punch!
I agree 1095 plate is hard on files when cutting in new teeth, even harder on my old eyes.
