I have been generously offered some of Jadboog's spring steel for a saw plate. I was planning to make a 14" tenon saw with 3 1/2 depth of cut, but I am worrying that that the steel may be too thin for a saw of this size, it is 0.5mm (see thread "Is this normal"). I notice LN do an even larger saw (16"x4") in this thickness (it's listed as 20 thou which is near as damn it 0,5mm) but that most of the other larger tenon saws are slightly thicker. My 12" Tyzak is 0.67mm. I kind of need a saw this size, but my main interest is having a go at making any saw, I could always buy a 14" saw on ebay and make myself a smaller saw.
Any opinions welcome
