September 27, 20169 yr 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 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...
September 27, 20169 yr 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.
September 27, 20169 yr Ok fellas ....what do you do with all these saws after rehab? Is there an underground saw movement or black market in these?
September 27, 20169 yr 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.
September 27, 20169 yr 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.
September 27, 20169 yr Popular Post 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.

Nah, not a collector....yet. Me neither, especially because I didnt count the coping and hack saws or the spare blades and parts
