real nice work, but no Japanese saws? or tree saws?

you might enjoy the tool museum where I work, many old hand tools 
of both professional make and smithy made specialty tools. Many
leather belt driven tools as well, including treadle spindle lathes
just the right size to make bobbins and "walking wheel" parts.

eh, a couple of "sorta" Japanese saws
bottom one has a stiffener much like a backsaw or dovetail saw
