That Nest of Saws

Featured Replies

That almost was forgotten. Part of the dollar deal that the Stanley #3 SW Level came with

All rusty and neglected. Teeth looked like they never even touched a board, other than a keyhole saw had some old plaster on it. Well a trip to the Dungeon Rehab Center, and we now have a new backsaw for the tool box

There IS an etch, too. Says Eclipse. That price tag says "All for $1". Plate was very rusty, but not pitted. Wire cup brush in the drill press cleaned it up. Got a might warm, too. Wiped the metal down with a candle. Teeth are sharp, and there are a LOT of them. Worked just fine in my miter box. But, wait, there IS more here

Had a cheap back saw from another nest of saws, flimsy thing. Handle seems to fit this skew back "Panel Saw" a bit better, anyway. Them teeth have never ever seen a bit of wood. Works as either a crosscut, or a rip. Need to get a tooth count, later. More, you say?

Try this badboy. This IS a RIP saw. Handle used to be on a RUSTED up, Sandvik. Made a change to the handle, using the "new" scrollsaw. Mean looking teeth. These last two saws were hung on the nest of saws so long, that one left a clean area on the other's rusty plate. Ah, but there is more to this story, still

A recycled tote, made into the tote for this evil looking blade. It did had some plaster on it, and might have been the only blade ever used. Thinking this is either a Keyhole saw, or a Compass saw? Either way, I do have a spare blade for this handle

A little smaller version. Might be a good Drywall saw. Not too bad for a $1 at a Barn sale? Considering that a level came along with it....

Steve, Nice "Nest of Saws" there. This reminds me, I've got to post a photo of my new "freebie" saw. It might require more work than your whole "Nest of Saws" It has teeth like the "Big Bad Wolf" and handles at both ends. It's about 6' long.

Mine is "only" 5' long

I COULD put the handle on the other end......

Steve,

I've got it's "Big Brother", it has the same teeth.

Brought out from the Archives, nice nest indeed!

I must be daft! But I actually love sharpening all my hand saws. What looks like a 1 tooth per inch above from @steven newman would be real easy. 🙂
