Autumn classics
We're deep into fall and heading into winter up here, so this may not be the most appropriate title, but here they are anyways.
I just finished up these three saws, and they are working their way to their new home right now. From top to bottom, there is a 10 inch dovetail saw, a 12 inch carcase saw, and a 14 inch sash saw.

Thank you for looking.

Hi Isaac
Your work has become sublime. The combination of materials, design and workmanship is at the top of the class. Really.

I like using saws but I have no idea about how to make one. Where do I start?
My age is still less than my number of posts

If you're like me, you need to spend several years reading about it first. If you really want to to learn, then just start doing it. Here are a few good sites to get you started, though.

Hi Isaac. Of note on your site you have preference to use 0.015" and 0.018" saw plate for your backsaws up to a limit of 2 inches in depth. For deeper saw plate's that preference changes to 0.020" and 0.025". For the benefit of new backsaw makers, what are the concerns with using the lighter gauge saw steel on depths of plate above 2 inches.
