I've had this Atkins No. 26 pattern makers saw for some time and am finding myself needing it more and more in my saw making. It has a 'Silver Steel' blade 0.028" thick and 14 p.p.i.

Rather than degrade from it's collector value as it is a practically new-in-the box saw I thought I'd make one.

I chose to tooth mine at 16 p.p.i. using a 0.025" plate and the blade is riveted to the handle. I used rivets because bolts and split nuts looked disproportionately large to me, rivets are cheap and if I ever need to remove the blade I can simply drill them out. The handle is Palo Santo. I find the Atkins handle somewhat uncomfortable so I beveled the bottom of the handle to allow a nicer rest for my pinkie finger. Need to complete finishing and it's ready for work.
Cheers,
Rob
