Hi Christophe,
Thanks for your kind words.
I purchase the steel for the blades in rolls from an outfit called Zoro tools (1095 Steel Coils 0.02"- 0.03" Thick by LYON - Shim Stock at Zoro), or I find it on eBay. 1095 steel can be hard to find in small quantities but Zoro started selling it in smaller lots a few months ago, hopefully they will continue.
The backs I make myself from sheet stock obtained from Online Metals (Online Metal Store | Small Quantity Metal Orders | Metal Cutting, Sales & Shipping | Buy Steel, Aluminum, Copper, Brass, Stainless | Metal Product Guides at OnlineMetals.com).
I make saws as a hobby and sell them for beer and tool money,though at this point I have yet to break even on the beer budget to say nothing of the tool account. At the moment my other work is slow so I have been able to put more time into saws.
Cheers,
Rob
