Very interesting! What wood are you using?

[Steeltrap]

Very nice. I love those big hook safeties on the locks!

Runar, why do you want to build that? you already got two!!!! 

All joking aside,  this will be a really cool project.  I can't wait to see how you fabricate the brass barrel bands.

Thanks Runar I can think of a lot of uses for that diminutive saw. Might even pick my nose with it Lol. Checking out prices on it.
I have a Swiss made Bosch Jigsaw I bought in 1984, it is still running strong. Bosch is making a lot of their tools in China now, and the quality is spotty. Metabo tools used to be Hitachi and are excellent tools.
