September 27, 20169 yr comment_76177 As some of you are aware from my recent posts, I have been working on a few old saws. As testimony to how addictive rust hunting can be, at least for some (me), It seems that I may have lost track of how many crusty orphan saws I have been bringing home in the last year or two. I still need to file several of these. Even more troubling is the backlog of still rusty candidates that need the full treatment. The re-work saws include the Atkins 68 10 tpi crosscut from my other post, 3 D8 Disstons (2 thumbhole rip and 1 crosscut), A Spear and Jackson split nut rip, Disston miter box saw, 2 Jackson 14 inch backsaws, and my Disson 14 turned 8 inch backsaw to remove a crack. A priority on the to do list is a Rosewood handled Disston (i think its a victory but havent uncovered the etch) and several more miter box and backsaws in varying srates of disarray. I really need to build a till and maybe ebay some spares soon. I seem to have developed a weak spot and affliction for saws! Not pictured are about a dozen more on the bench and opposite wall that cant be seen. I suspect that I will have more before and after project to share soon. This will take some time!

September 27, 20169 yr comment_76179 Guess I don't see the problem here ...if my eyes & math are correct and assuming saws are only pictured once, I counted 28 (+2 you just bought if not included in these pics and the 12 or so you said are not pictured) = 48 +/-...so like I said, not sure why you think there's an issue . It's only hoarding if you can't physically move between the saws... Besides look how you're performing your civic duty by keeping landfills clear... Report
September 27, 20169 yr comment_76181 Humm, I will have to get you a few pictures of mine. I don't see a problem with the finding them and rescuing them. Report
September 27, 20169 yr comment_76188 Ok fellas ....what do you do with all these saws after rehab? Is there an underground saw movement or black market in these? Report
September 27, 20169 yr comment_76190 Once you hit the first dozen you become a collector from then on. A collector has no limit on the number he owns. I'm sure this rule of thumb dates back many years. Report
September 27, 20169 yr comment_76196 I think that's really cool...maybe an addition onto the shop will be needed? Report
September 27, 20169 yr comment_76215 So, Brent, when you gonna do a tutorial on a refurb? I am looking for some alternative methods and would be interested in how you do yours. Report
September 27, 20169 yr Popular Post comment_76217 I saw an article the other day about "Super Owners" of guns - about 3% of the US population owns most of the guns. I am going out on a limb here and say that you are in that 3% of Super Owners for saw But really, you are just collecting them so that you have them when the government wants to start a bunch of saw control laws.
