Hi all, my name is Rob and I build saws, among other things of course. Here's some pictures.

Hi Rob! Welcome to the forums!

Those saws look awesome. What material did you use for the first saw's back?

Thanks Al, The top saw has a stainless steel back. The half back is 1/8" brass. Both are folded - not slotted as many custom makers do these days.

Thanks Rob! I love your traditional approach.

Thanks Doc, nice to meet you. Here's some more pictures. I slow with processing the images to be small enough to post here, not my strong suit. These are the balance of a batch of four that I'm finishing right now.

Hi Rob. Nice saws. Could you tell us a little bit about the differences in your 4 saw set? Why the particular shape of the blades etc. Anything you feel like sharing with us. Thanks in advance Rob. Nice to have you here.
