    Howdy Denys and welcome to the Creek. There isn't a location listed in your profile, were do you call home?

    Nice work on the saw. It looks a lot better than my first attempt.

    Looks great. I am sufficiently humbled by your efforts....much nicer than most woodworkers would have done. I love the detail work in the handle....lovely!

    Nice work! You're tempting me to do this myself. I'll be happy if mine is 1/4 as good as yours.

    You are all so kind
    Just start doing it and make it steady and everything will be fine.
    I know some points to improve in my next attempt but main concern will be about teeth. in this saw I use existing TPI set, just resharpen and change geometry for ripping. next one will be made out of shim stock.
