Thanks for the answers. Wouldn’t the sticks interfere with the drawer?
Roberto, are you describing the actual drawer construction or the board that separates the drawer from the compartment above?If the later, wouldn’t be quite difficult to bring all together, dovetails joining the 4 sides of the main carcase and the separation board? How would you doi it, front and sides first, the the board and then the back? At what point is convenient to glue up?
Sorry, not sure if I’m explaining myself…
In the end the fix was indeed trivial: the exact problem was a VERY slight misalignment of just one of the walls of the mortise for the brass back. It means that it put a bit too much pressure on that side of the plate and this produced the curve. I filed off this mortise wall, just a little bit, with a small saw file. Now the whole plate sits perfectly straight and the saw indeed cuts straight!
It is amazing to see that such a very small, unnoticeable really, detail can have such an impact on the performance of the tool

Thanks for replaying, much appreciated.
The saw is definitely worth saving, and I will possibly make a new handle at some point, but it is not a priority and it wont happen for quite some time. I had thought of something along the lines of 3 as it is in the plate slot that the problem is (slightly misaligned, maybe just one of the sides). The difficulty I see is that whatever the exact fault, it is so slight that I would quite possibly misfire. I was hoping there could be something more trivial I could try….
Thanks again
