I know as soon as I cut it, I’ll find a project that could have used the full board 

lol,..yep. Probably. 

The grain would make some nice striped pens.  Maybe with the cut offs?

Thanks for the idea, Dan!

On the bench today is a Disston 8 TPI that needs some work....

 

 

I also ran across these today.  Appears to be some kind of saw maintenance tools.  They are stamped "Simonds Saw & Steel Co."  I haven't had a chance to research them yet, but if anyone could give me hint as to what they are/do, I would appreciate it.

 

 

 

No clue on that Simonds tool. But I'll bet Bandit can help.

Tooth setter.  Here's the book.

Thanks for the info.   That may come in handy when I get to the one man crosscut saw I need to restore.

Getting the Disston all cleaned up......

 

 

And, getting it all put back together.....just needs a good sharpening, now.

 

Nice job, Thad. Looks almost like new. 

That is one beautiful saw.  What did you use to clean off the rust?  

Sweet rescue and restoration @Thad. Most excellent. Thanks for showing.

Little different project.  For shop doors I have French door style.  Wanting to mount a couple items to the one door that is rarely used I made this panel to go over window.  In looking at it I decided to have some fun and replicate with paint the window.

 

Not ready to mount yet, couple more days to cure well.

 

 

This is a picture of my dry fit.

Ya' did good too. Cool idea. When picture loaded sure looked like actual glass. Course I don't get out much anymore.

What's on my bench at the moment....

Too many of these things...

I'm  thinking they must be "rabbet" planes the way they're multiplying

  I didn't realize there was such a thing as "too many"....
