Nice work, Ron. Enjoyed your approach to the whole project. For fine detail cuts I use Dozuki, etc type of saws....they leave v. thin/fine cut. I hung around College of the Redwoods (Mendocino) woodworking program and learned a bunch from Krenov himself and his students.
Thank you Leszek....must be great experience to follow a college in the Redwoods; was there on visit about 10 years ago and I still can remember the that wonderful wood smell!Quote:

I bought this one which is 160mm long and has 28 tpi teeth:

As some member asked whether a filmholder / darkslide had been made for this camera, here are some pictures - I didn't make pictures of every stage in the making....
