Dovetail Saw Build

I recently completed my first back saw with each and every component made in my shop.  It's a 10-inch dovetail saw with a folded steel back, steel saw bolts and split nuts, and a walnut tote.

I was able to locate plenty of information online about making and sharpening saws.  The more I researched, the more I realized that making a saw really isn't as big a mystery as it first seemed.

I was able to acquire most of the materials locally, with the exception of the saw plate and a saw file.
