Saw screws, anyone?

[Pekka Huhta]

I started building a dovetail saw last weekend. I was able to find three saw screws at home, but each of them was different.

So, would anyone have four matching saw screws to sell to my project? I probably will use only 3, but there is a neat place for the fourth as well. The spine will be extending inside the handle, so there is a place for a screw higher up the handle than usual. Material preference would be brass, or nickel plated if the nickel can be polished off.

I'll post some pictures when I'm sure that the idea will work. Last weekend I managed to jigsaw the spine out of a 7x50 mm brass and cut a slot for the saw blade.

Thanks for the idea, there was another lot in ebay US which I got cheaply. Medallions and all

Bauhaus and Clas Ohlson sell furniture bolts that look the part. They take hex keys. I've got a few of those waiting for a saw build project..
