Wood Backed BackSaw

Nice looking saws, Brian. How do you set the “hangle” (hang angle)?

Beautiful saws ! That’s a fine job, the handles look great. I don’t see where wood spines would make any difference to the cuts. Thanks for sharing these beauty’s.

Fascinating pieces! My shopmade backsaw looks boring by comparison.

Very, very impressive saws. Nice eye candy.

The way I do it is probably not the “correct” way and it definitely isn’t scientific. I use the blackburn templates for some of the handles, but I take licence with them. It is a good place to start. On the ones I design I slot the handle for the blade and test it for feel and if it needs to be tweaked up or down I file the butt end of the blade on the top or bottom to change the angle, then test it again. When it feels right in my hand I drill for the bolts.

Thanks all!

Your handles are stunning! No one out there is doing what you do. I need to make several saw handles, I’m not gonna copy yours but you’ve opened up my eyes for mucho creative license.

Brian I’m not sure which is more polished. Your backsaw blades or your videos. Love watching the videos so keep ‘em coming. I also like ogling the saws too. Great work on both counts!

Those are insane…awesome..

The handle with the carving and the background texture is brilliant..Is that a checkering type texture on that one ? hard to see..

OMG WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! stunning handles!!!!!

Out standing projects and looks so steam punk.
I’ve played with some shapes for my push sticks in a like manner but they get used up need to build some more adding some of you and blackburns flare to them, and a saw would be fun too me thinks.
Fun projects.
