Tom Latane' told me how once when he was camping he realized he had  
forgotten a saw (he was planning to do some woodwork in the woods).   
He solved his problem when he found a piece of metal strapping,  
annealed it (he uses charcoal for all of his forge work anyway),  
filed in and set the teeth and then hardened it after punching a hole  
in each end....semi-instant bow saw blade.......
