Fantastic link TC !!!

Thank you so much.

I'll be sitting down to absorb it later in the day (after work).

BTW AndrewR, your S&J rip backsaw has been working perfectly.

Cheers,
Paul.

Glad to hear it - except it was a crosscut filed Disston , which I know you've already noticed. I would have kept it if the handle had been a little larger, in hindsight I should have put a new one on it. The older brother of it that I kept is a beauty though.

Is the other backsaw in your photos filed rip? My dovetail saw (from SG) is obviously, but I've got another tenon being cleaned up to go rip and I'm not sure how many TPI - I'm thinking 8-10.
