Wow, I watched the whole thing. I don't think I'll be tackling this kind of work right away, but he certainly makes it seem much simpler than I'd have thought. I also watched his sharpening video, and thought it was interesting that he changes the angle of the teeth on the saw to be progressive (front 2-3 inches are less aggressive than the rest of the saw for easier starting), but he didn't do that in the video below.

Another thing that I noticed is that in the sharpening video, he has the tool to set the teeth, but he didn't mention that in this video. I seem to remember that the teeth on a backsaw (at least, the ones that come with a cheap miter box) don't have a set or at least, not much compared to a regular hand rip/crosscut saw.
