Hi Tony. Thank for the feedback on my work. Its nice to hear my work is improving.

Just to add the chorus, I really like this too. After I finish my bowsaw (after I finish my bench) I need to try my hand at some saw handles. I have a couple of saws I bought that were made from kits where the letting in of the back is slightly off, putting a bit of a wave in the blade. I doubt I can get something this nice off the bat, but it's certainly something to aspire to.

Any tips on your workflow? I hate to do more work than necessary before the critical bits of fitting the blade to the stock, only to screw that part up and have to toss a fair amount of work. but it seems like a fair amount of that work needs to be done before hand regardless . . .

Thanks Brent. I should really update my present camera to a DSLR to present much better photo's.

Hi Josh. Best advise I can give is don't make a start until you have a clear plan as to how you will complete each important step of the backsaw build. Your spot on with the critical part, mating the saw plate & spine to the handle. When you commit yourself to making the backsaw, seek advise from the forum on how best to do this. if its not done correctly you will most likely end up with a slight bend along the tooth line, usually below the handle fit.

Stewie.

Yeah, a bit of that is what I've got, which is why I keep meaning to have a go at making my own.

Just Beautiful.
