Another tenon saw complete.
Hi all. I just finished off another backsaw build. The handle wood is Tasmanian Blackwood. Its not the easiest of timbers to shape but it does give a very nice end finish.
The tooth line length is 8 1/2 inches and its been sharpened 14tpi.
I recently purchased 2 different types of counterbores that suit the saw screws I use from TFWW. At this point I have only trialled the type on the left hand side of the photo but the results were extremely precise when compared to my previous method of using a 1/2" forstner bit.
Work on the next backsaw has already commenced. This one I am using Australian Jarrah as the handle wood.
Regards, Stewie.

The smaller type on the left was from the u.k (tct cutters). The larger 1 is from the U.S. (hss). I decided to purchase some extra of the larger size with the intent of offering them for sale within the forum. They will be sold with the 3/16th drill bit + matching pilot rod. Not sure if the depth stop collar is needed. Will have a better idea after further testing.

Hi all . On this latest backsaw you would have noticed I left the saw bolts proud of the face of the handle. I think there are advantages in doing so. For example if you start off with them seated flush, by the time you tighten the saw screws up you can end up with a certain amount of creep as they compress into the handle timber. This amount will vary based on the type and hardness of the wood used for the handle. Once the saw bolts get below flush they can be a bit of an eye saw. But the look of the proud saw bolts needed some refinement to soften the transition in step change from the face of the bolt to the face of the handle. The answer was to add a chamfer to the outer rim of the saw nut. The following shows the jig I made up to add the chamfer to the saw bolts using a pedestal drill. The precision flat file was adhered to the jig block using CA. You can also view the chamfered saw nuts refitted to the backsaw. Kudos should go to Isaac & Ron for coming up with the solution to chamfer the saw bolts. Kudos should go to Isaac Blackburn Tools - woodworking tools old & new & Ron Bontz Saw Works for coming up with the solution to chamfer the saw bolts.
Regards, Stewie.

Nice lines to that saw. Very nick work.
Do you have links to where you bought the counter bores? Did you shop around much when looking for them?
In the photo the long one doesn't look to a very square step, and is the shank ½"…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Hi dsel. I don't have any links for you. But if you do a search on ebay for counterbore 3/16 you will find what your looking for. Look for the 3/16 x 1/2" counterbore. The smaller of the 2 has the straight through drill bit which is 3/16 dia. Its brand name is Trend.(U.K) They come in hss or tct. The larger one is 1/2 dia straight bore which comes only in hss. (U.S.)

This looks like the ones.
CB12-316TC - 3/16 drill diameter x 1/2 counterbore
CB12-316HSS - 3/16 drill diameter x 1/2 counterbore
Pity they don't have a 7/16.…..Live a Quiet Life & Work with your Hands

Yes that's the smaller type. Suggest you go through the ebay seller in the u.k I made inquires through this Company and was not happy to find out that the Australian supplier listed on there main site had sold off his franchise a while ago. I have found the link to his site. eBay My World - bigredtoolboxaustralia Just type in counterbore and you will see all the different sizes he can supply. There is no extra cost charge for shipping to Aust. It took about 14 days to
receive through the post.
