Thanks Niels.
Thanks Niels.
Nice work Stewie!
Have you ever considered selling one of your backsaws in SMC's Classifieds? So many of us have watched and cheered your saw builds that I bet one would sell very quickly!

Hi Fred. I am quite happy to rely on private pm's to sell my work. The $$$ are not a high priority.

“If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.”
Given a couple of days the brass back and saw bolts will darken to a more tarnished patina.
Stewie;
Incredible Stewie! That's one of your best efforts!
Simply beautiful Stewie! Everything about it is in perfect harmony.
If the thunder don't get you, the lightning will.
Thanks Kees. 19 to go.

I found it interesting to compare the way I choose to shape the lambs tongue connection, to that used by Disston's on their earliest backsaw design.
The earliest Disston backsaws had no medallion and the handle was shaped unlike those of later saws. This one has the beak at the top of the handle, which was not used on Disston handles for long. The lamb's tongue at the bottom of the handle was part of the design until the 1850's.http://www.disstonianinstitute.com/backsawpage.html
