Matt, that's one very pretty little piece of wood! You wouldn't have another cube of it stashed away somewhere, would you??

Some progress was made this afternoon in the creative zone while listening to an audio book on the grammar phone.
Saw bolts machined from some mild steel 25 mm bar down too 20 mm.
Thread size for the anoraks out there is M5 by 1
Thickness of 1.5 mm and polished
Still lots to do but I can see the end is nigh well not that bad really.
Cheers Matt,

May I query the purpose of the two holes? Just to hold the male screw with circlip pliers or similar when tightening up the other half or decorative?

You may query, and yes you have basically nailed it, an I should have explained more instead of being inpatient to show off.
So I think the pics are fairly self explanatory,but after much consideration while having spam on toast for dinner with glass of house white.
I知 possibly thinking of removing the holes on the bolt side of the saw, and just using the dirty little nut side that we never talk about to do the saw nuts up with.
Cheers Matt.

I see what is happening now. Traditionally the slotted screws were on the reverse side of the saw, but you are breaking with tradition anyway. There is normally a square head filed under the male screw to resist turning in the wood during the tightening stage. I actually think your saw screws would suit being fitted flush and would look more akin to the split nut screws, but you would need the square shank on the male screw.
I like the look of flush fitting hardware. The only issue with the original hardware pre 1900 was the frailty.

While we are questioning your methods of work, Matt - any reason you decided to go with steel sawnuts rather than brass?
I got sick of sitting around doing nothing - so I took up meditation.

I really like that safety bolt look, Northwind tool works used to make his saws with those and I loved em. This is a great thread, just may have to start lurking around here if you don't mind.

Matt
I am not sure why you would like your mum to have married a Frenchman because:
I think that saw is British so a pome bastard may have been more appropriate, but always going to have some difficulty retrospectively particularly at this relatively late stage in your development. I can't see the writing on the saw very well. However, I think I can see, on the brass back, Taylor Bros, Adelaide saw works and Sheffield so this is what I am basing my statement on. I feel I have seen that saw before, but a search of the web did not reveal anything at all. Handle looks to be a carved fish made in ivory. Not sure if the hardware is steel or silver.
The etching again is indistinct in the pic. but looks to be vaguely "Taylorish."
