Legend has it the Swedes have a saying.
   If you can't build it with an ax, you can't build it.

Cutting dadoes with a backsaw is perfectly legitimate. Cutting them with 
a Disston #7 is too and a clever guy can do that as well.
    Stairsaws are pretty sexy though, and not that hard to build. When 
you get around to it.
"Buying stuff only when you absolutely have to", its the best way.
Building for yourself is like nothing else, and a stairsaw is a fine 
project you will savor a long long time.

  Patience stings.
  In time you will be up to your neck in dividers and compasses of all 
kinds. They are not hard to find or expensive if you've got 1/2 a brain, 
and I know you do.
The waiting for it to start is not easy, sorry.

   But spring is almost here in the norther hemisphere, and the yard 
sales are a comin!
  The swap meet will be filled with hopeful sellers, their stuff spread 
out on old blankets. Ahhhhhhhhh can't you just smell it from here?

     The Galoot battle cry ringing out across our minds in the early 
morning
  Good tools cheap........ Good tools cheap.......
        yours Scott
