I want a frame saw with a wide blade for resawing, or for heavy-duty ripping.
The blade is going to be impossible to find where I live, so I'm quite tempted to make one. I got inspired by Bob Rozaieski's tale of making saw blades by filing the teeth from scratch.
I could go and find some good steel, but I'm wondering... in the garage I have a leftover sheet of 0.9 mm thick galvanized steel which is screaming "cut me, file me". Would it be crazy to use that for a nice long blade?
If it doesn't hold an edge for long (I don't expect it to be very hard), is it possible to temper such a thing?
Feel free to tell me that I'm better off filing uncooked lasagna
