Sneak peak : Latest backsaw build.

[planemaker]

Its been a bit quite on the saw makers forum.

Here is the latest backsaw I am working on. At this stage the handle shape is finished and I have applied a seal coat of amber shellac .

The handle wood is Tas. Tiger Myrtle. The saw plate is 0.025 gauge; 16 inches in length; and 3 1/2 inches in depth below the hardback.

Very nice saw Stewie, is it a tapered plate or an effect of the lens?

Hi Rob. The plate is at a consistent height from heel to toe.

The shaping of the brass hardback is complete. The brass surface still requires a light sanding before it can be buffed to a shine.

Beautiful work, Stewie.

One little question: why number the screws?

Hi Graeme. During the backsaw build it allows me to refit each of the saw bolts in the same area of the handle every time I remove them.

Simple. And I thought all the bolts were the same ...

Thanks Stewie
