Making some progress on these carcase saws. The saw blade is hammered into the brass back using a slightly rounded paddle made from a soft(ish) wood. The idea here is that about 15 or so teeth will be contacting the paddle at all times. If one were to use a flat surfaced paddle for this purpose they would run the risk of hitting the saw blade with a corner, and bending or dulling a tooth.
