This is a parts kit to use to build your own premium saw, all you need to do is make a handle. These kits are comprised of premium saw parts to allow you to make a folded back hand saw just like the premium saws of old were made. All of the parts are made local to me in Indiana, USA by one of the best local machinists in the area.
What is included in each kit is as follows:
10” dovetail saw kit
- 10”x2”x0.020” saw plate at 16ppi
- Two ½” saw bolts
- One 10” brass folded saw back
12” Carcass saw kit
- 12”x3”x0.025” saw plate at 13ppi
- Three ½” saw bolts
- One 12” brass folded saw back
14" Tenon saw kit
- 14"x4"x0.025" saw plate at 13ppi
- Three ½” saw bolts
- One 14” brass folded saw back

There were no instructions though, it would be helpful to have some simple steps/guidance or at least a recommended build link. I stripped the finish, sharped, set the teeth, applied the back and made the handles without knowing what the hell I was doing, but I think they turned out fine. I wanted a little more taper to the back, but don't know how to get that. They cut well, I've never seen a backsaw throw so much sawdust with each stroke, so that is a success.
this will be such a fun project, I get to choose what handle I want and then i get to drill holes in the saw plate, all of this will be new to me and will help me grow my skills, I'm very pleased with the quality of the components, I totally recommend their saw kits for beginner saw builders like me, thanks Glancy's!
Great dovetail kit!! Fun little project for anyone interested.
Parts arrived quickly and appear to be top quality - looking forward to building me saw
I am very happy with thee two saw making kits I have purchased from Glancy's Alchemy. They are very high quality kits at a very reasonable price, and I am likely to purchase at least one more in the near future.
