On the road again, mission was to go 40 miles to pick up the three grandBRATS for the weekend.   Was told when we left, that the Boss/Driver wasn't stopping fo no yard sales on the way...well

 

Went past one place, nose went nuts, to the point we just had to turn around and go back.   Table was full of old, rusty things, all-metal power tools.   and a pile of rusty, saw shaped objects, didn't look like much.....wait, what IS THAT under those junky saw?  "How much do you want for this?   How about a dollar?"   Sold!   Picked up a garden hose  for $2 as well, Boss wants to water the "Mater Plants"

 

Got this treasure home later, found two saw bolts to replace the missing ones...

22" long, by 4" wide.   Pennsylvannia Saw Corp, of York PA.    The only thing wrong with the handle?

Was the finish on it was mostly..gone.  No biggie.  Got out the palm sander, and got after the rust with some 60 grit paper.   Just got the one side of the plate clean and shiny, and was starting on the other side...Sander dies...FUBAR, too.   Well, we can set up the drill press with a wire wheel and finish it up.   Polished the saw bolts and medallion up.   Then stripped the old finish off the handle.   Got things back together, and a coat & wipe off of BLO on the handle..set it up in the mitrebox to cure

There is a scrap of pine under it, that a test cut made.   Nice glassy smooth cut.  Might just do...for a dollar bill?

Wow! York is only about 40 miles east of here.

 

Nice Score!!
