Making backsaws? *LINK*

>Some the the threads here talk about saws and saw-making. I am posting this to see if anyone is interested in some spring steel for the purposes of making a thin kerf dovetail saw or possibly a tenon saw.
What I have is two NEW boxes of Precision Brand Spring Steel. In the box are two sheets of 6"x25" spring steel with a thickness of 0.015". It seems thin, but others have used this before and their saws hold up great. And this spring steel is hardened to Rc 48-51 which some say is a better spring steel to use for backsaws.
Anyway, these boxes go for $45 or more new, but I am offering them here for $25 each plus $5 shipping. Do a search and see if you can find a similar type of spring steel cheaper than that. And if you have extra pieces, they make great finish card scrapers and I have been told they might be good for beading tools.
If someone wants both, there is a slight discount in price and shipping.
Please email me AND put a post here as sometimes my email tends to block random emails. Thanks!
