Start to finish, joints, wood, hardware...and something he called a Watch Spring Blade.....He also showed how to sharpen and set the teeth....and even a test drive....might be worth the Google?
The saw I made is patterned from that video......bad part? It is in Mandarin....I think they may have added cc to them, by now....
