July 4, 20179 yr Popular Post comment_115365 First off, I have two "orphans" to figure out what to do with Don't have any saw plates that match, the holes patterns are different than the plates I still have... Warranted Superior Medallions. Not sure what to do with these.... However, I did find one match for another handle.. As I have an Atkins handle.. Holes match! Need to clean the rusty plate and see IF there is an etch.....and see IF I can find out what model this was. Might have a bit of time this week? Report

July 4, 20179 yr Author Popular Post comment_115446 Hmmm, did not take all that long to do... Found enough brass bolts that fit the handle, and went together easily. Had one small kink at the tooth line,,,hammered that out. Haven't decided about refinishing the handle, yet Was a bit distracted, I also got the new screen door ready to install. Pet door is installed, screen guard has been cut to size and installed. Need to demo out the old door, and install the new.....then the Boss can paint it up.. Saw took less than an hour to do...I am getting slow in my dotage.... Report
July 5, 20179 yr Author comment_115532 I'll see IF I can bring out the etch a bit better, later today... Might be an Atkins No. 59? Or something like that....we'll see... Report
July 5, 20179 yr Author Popular Post comment_115543 yep..No. 59 is in the etch. Found a few lines of script to the tight of the main etch...still trying to read them... Blade length is 24". Gun Blue Paste: Smear a coat on where you need it. Wipe off the excess. Then LIGHTLY sand the metal with either a sanding block or a palm sander using just the weight of the sander Etch sit deeper ( not by much..) then the surrounding plate. Just need to remove the blue on the high spots. Report
July 6, 20179 yr comment_115600 Wondering if electrolysis would be effective against the rusty blade. Report
July 6, 20179 yr Author comment_115601 IF you have the setup, and IF you have a proper sized tub to hang the plate in.....be aware of flash rusting when you pull the plate back out. Report

Set your cursor under the quote and go with your reply. So this is the first finished bowl. Very good then you are normal like the rest of us. Mistakes are what make us better. Just be safe and try to stay out of the firing range when pieces come off the lathe. On 7/4/2017 at 9:40 AM, lew said: Nice handle- first pix, bottom handle. 'scuze me Lew, no Quote button with pics. WHAT TO DO WITH ONE OF THOSE HANDLES, BE STILL AND HEAR THE ANGELS TALKING TO YOU. Work a 6x24 ply into IT some how, maybe saw the opening a little. PUSH GIZ-MO is what we after here. WHEN FINISHED THAT handle will be a-top that ply & WHEN PUSHED THRU TS BLADE YOUR HAND IS GRIPPIN SOMETHING STEADY & WELL ABOVE THAT SPINNIN SAW BLAD. YALL HAVE A GOODEN. Report
