Making a saw off-grid using primitive tools

You need tools to make tools and other tools to work wood. At the moment I am making a wooden tool chest and got curious of saws. I have never made a saw before and I could do without one, the axe is sufficient for most wood work, but now that I have a primitive file, chisel and steel hammer a saw feels like the next step… And even if I do not need the saw I could certainly use one, It would be a less risky way of cutting the long boards now that they have dried up a bit. (The axe would in my hands risk to mess something up at this late stage.) The saw is made from the same 1% carbon steel just like the file made last week. I did cut some of the teeth cold but the steel was a bit hard so after a few cold I started to hot chisel them again. Not all teeth turned out as I wanted but the file straightened up most of them. I have never made a saw before but I saw this video in my early training almost 20 years ago:    • Video   and then I had a lot of use from hearing about the saw-file and how to sharpen saws: I can recommend these videos, both great You tubers in my opinion:    • How to Sharpen a Woodworking Handsaw ...      • Hand tool tutorials; buying, restorin...   I was surprised how simple it was to set the saw, I did it by heart with the hammer and it got right at the first attempt. The saw is not hardened since I sharpen it with the primitive file and the saw do make a really wide cut, just over 3 mm. I could have made a thinner saw if I had sledging help with a heavy sledge and flattened 10 sheets at the same time… But I have no sledge, helper or need of a thinner saw. The sawblade is in average 2 mm thick.
