You don't want to make that one - it doesn't lift on the back stroke.
I.e., it drags on the teeth.

I made one of these about twenty years ago. It would have been nice
to have it lift on the backstroke, but it worked.

This Marvel is quite a mechanical puzzle,
but it does appear to lift the blade
on the back stroke.
