Rob,
I've been realised lol for now. innovation not sure maybe you guys know more about that then me??.
Should I put a patent on it?
Any one got a spare $100,000 grand!
I don't think Sally would let me borrow the money for that one.[emoji849][emoji849][emoji849]
Paul ,don't tempt me with tradition that wrecks evolution[emoji849].
So basically in an effort to avoid cutting the saw slot by hand(five min work)
I've cut a much bigger slot which can be done by either hand(half the way I did this one) taking a lot more time [emoji849].Or by using machines, I used my router table for most of it ,but didn't really have the right size bit.and wasn't running of to buy one just for one of my half backed ideas.? Also ,I don't have a table saw yet either.
Tho there's probably a dozen ways to do it.
Paul in answering, agreeing with you about the saw slots.
Yes ,I always shape the saw cheek, then cut the slot ,then shape the handle.
I think you can figure out how I know how to that one first lol.
I think a few saw makers have been down that road.
I've then cut and machined up some Swiss cheese mild steel blocks(will end up around 4 mm thick) to hold the blade perfectly straight.Also I wanted some metal showing on the top and to help me to fit my round top saw spine which I wanted to flatten out towards the handle.
Another desire with this saw was for it to be steel and timber only(burl). Two mediums
no brass for this one.
But really ,the reason is I just thought it may look cool [emoji3].
The saw bolts also will pass right through the metal plates and saw plate sandwiching them together.
Bolts being male ,female.
They still have a bit of work to go.
I still need to mill the blocks each down to fit the saw plate.
For that ,I will possibly just use my course diamond stone.
Lots more control there.
A bit of sweat won't hurt me.
But I think you get the idea.
Yep, this saw is a little fat(heavy)at present.
I'm sure some of you were thinking that.
But ,not to much I may take some more metal out of the plates still.
I can machine some more out of the guts of them, still leaving plenty of support around the edge tho.
So ,by not having to worry about getting the saw slot cut perfectly square by hand.
Because a hundred million plus saws have been done that way.
And I know better.
.I've cunningly created a ton more work.

Cheers Matt

A tiny little progress today ,but I should have been working on another small saw [emoji849].
But I just sometimes like hitting stuff.
Well metal only lol.
Any suggestions about what I should do with the end of the saw spine ,so it doesn't end up looking like a pistol ?
Cheers Matt
Going for the world record in the longest saw build lol.

Stick a round piece of brass or bronze in for color contrast? Or something like this: 1/4" Mosaic Knife Handle Pin Mosaic Pin Knife Making Supplies | eBay
