A couple more vintage saw designs that I copied, the upper one a 19th century surgical saw & the lower one a 19th century French piercing saw . Construction pictures for 1. & 2.
Pictured below are a pair recently finished, again based on a 19th century surgical saw. (See here for details) |

I use a lot of needle files & got fed up with odd bits of wood for handles so decided to make a few proper holders. The handles are mostly African Blackwood with one in Rosewood, decorated by using a dividing head & a small cutter in the milling machine.
