Inspired by the recent Japanese Tool Study Group meeting...

 

 

I have cut up some saw blades, this is a disposable impulse hardened 0.3mm blade.

But that didn't stop me hacking it up into some little cute blades.

Tangs are too small - but I will make them work maybe - really it was just a test...of my metal working skills with unfamiliar techniques.

The blade was useless as the centre was cracked, these 2 new blades have perfect teeth. Thanks to John for the inspiration to make some saws together. I have a template ready in my bag for some saw making tomorrow!
