I was rather an excited puppy today after coming home from work and finding a package of saw stuff from the sawplate group buy waiting for me.
The parts were all packaged tightly in cardboard, with no rattling:

Inside the cardboard, the backs, plates and nuts were all packaged separately:

And inside the bubble-wrap and brown paper:
_IGP2538.JPG
I'm feeling quite excited :U (not that I'm going to be doing anything with them for at least the next four weeks or so, but I'm excited by the concept of making the saws)
Which leads me to the first and second in a series of increasingly dumb questions about the saw-making process.
Thanks heaps to Paul, Brett and Ron for the opportunity to have a go at making my own saws and for the straightforward way the group buy went off from my end.
Cheers, Mike

- With the blueing, do I just clean that off with some sandpaper or 0000 steel wool, or is there some entirely more traditional or arcane way to do it?
- To anchor the plate in the backs, do I glue them in with loctite or similar, or do I have to sqeeze the plate in a vise? (or both?)
