Here are the parts it is built from

Took a few minutes to build, and in the end it is very stiff, light and long!

Where did you get the blade from? Kit?

Can you use it for resawing?

It is from some old dude who totally was a Nazi. Father of friends of my parents

The blade is freshly sharpened manually ;)

They were also common here in Denmark. I remember using them in school.
