Roman Saw reconstruction

[brennivs - tony drake]

Just about finished    But as ever the normal snag I worked out the handle was to small to do for my large hands so had to make it 1" 1/2 longer otherwise my hand would sit on the blade    I have sharpened the blade on both sides but a bit more work on the handle, on with the photos 
                     
Also the blade is about 1" 1/2 longer but it works for me, the cut is great on the main part. The other side well very surprised I did not set the teeth and tried it, nice easy cut through some beech even with the handle the other way in the hand. It may not be as exciting as a sword but it gives me a better understanding of how tools were used and the capability to do jobs, also the possibility that they made gadgets to do some tasks like we have today. Here is the cut on the wood with the fine teeth,
   
Not bad   also made a large traditional style wood tool box to carry everything in will take a photo. Any question please ask.
