Attached is 1 of 2 Carcass backsaw I recently completed. The tooth line is just under 12 inches long, and has been sharpened 12 tpi.

Nice work Stewie. What brand of file did you use to sharpen it? (I've got a bit of a bee in my bonnet about saw files (http://www.woodworkforums.com/f152/saw-sharpening-files-101-a-171926/) atm)

Hi Brett. 12 tpi and above I use the Vallorbe 3 square needle files. http://jewellerssupplies.com.au/images/pdfs/P96_101.pdf

Ray supplied me with adequate saw plate and brass back a fair while ago. Got enough left for another 6 backsaws.

Hi Ian. I needed a good break from the workshop to pursue other interests. Ended up being close to 6 months away. Feeling fresh and able to again return to making some nice looking backsaws.

Hi Brett. I can fully understand your frustration at the lack of quality found in more recently manufactured saw making files. As a good example the Nicholson Files now made in Mexico are well below par. Apart from using the Vallorbe files, I also have a good number of boxed earlier manufactured (USA) Nicholson Taper Files purchased from private sellers in the U.S.
