Hi Rob. Gum Turpentine is recommended for use when making your own paste wax mix. Read the safety instructions if using GT.

Hi Stewie,
When my mix cools to room temperature it looks and behaves much like the uBeaut Shellawax I have. Heating it appears to increase the penetration into the surface and over time I think that some polymerization occurs because the color gradually darkens. Great for darker woods.
Cheers,

Hi Rob. Not sure why. Possibly the personal challenge of doing so. But on my next backsaw I am going to extend the heel of the saw plate half way down the bottom rail of the handle, very much like the D8 handsaw; A traditional lambs tongue will also be included on the jarrah handle . The template for the heel wrap has already been cut out ready to scribe onto the saw plate. The handle is still in its early stages of shaping. The 0.020 saw plate will be 20" x 3" below the spine. 11 tpi sounds about right. No early photo's planned for this backsaw build.
regards Stewie;

Unfortunately I can't upload any pictures of the finished product. Perhaps when the server issue gets worked out and I no longer have to log on using/through TOR.

Very nice work Rob. Question for you. The rows of spot marks on the saw plate. Did you do some hardness testing on that saw plate.

Thanks Stewie. Yes this is the D-8 plate that I did all of the hardness testing and thickness measurements on. I plan on engraving it and assigning it a serial number but it will stay with me as my first-of-type.
I have pictures of the two completed gentleman's No. 8 saws too but because of Internet connectivity issues I can't post them yet.
Cheers,
