I received an interesting news letter by Highland Woodworking this morning with a link to the following article, a plea to buy quality, over cheap. And to support the American worker. People Take Warning OPEN.SUBSTACK.COM Your favorite toolmaker can disappear.

Trying to clean up the mess... And, barely making any progress... The saw set is sitting out because.. I found this buried underneath a pile of scraps....was made BEFORE the big line up change at Disston in 1928...this is a D8 Panel saw..etch has the "8" inside of the "D".. 22" long..is marked as an 11 ppi...and it does have a small chip out of the handle.. Doesn't seem to hurt anything...had to clean this up, and give the saw plate a wipe down with 3in1 oil...then it was hung up on a hook above the bench...still feels fairly sharp, no missing teeth, either... I still need my bench back, though...will try to build a couple boxes, out of the resawn scraps that were covering up this old saw...

My beautiful frame saw I acquired a few months ago, I love this tool. It cuts wonderfully. Did I say it's beautiful! The top horizontal bar is turned to tension the blade. -

Picked a Craftsman Miter box, for $5 at a barn sale. A bit on the rusty side, seemed to be a home for wayward spiders Lovely, ain't it? Sitting on my Saw Bench, too. Well, I took the saw itself out of the box/base. Took the tote off. Shined up the three bolts. Medallion just says CRAFTSMAN. Sanded the tote a bit to clean it off. Wire brush in the drill press to get rid of the top layers of rust on the plate. Brought the plate back out to the saw bench, hooked up a palm sander and some 220 grit. sanded down to bare.clean metal. Wasn't worried about any etch. Too rusty, and Craftsman used a silk screened logo. Set the pieces to dry a bit, since I used a pad of Never dull under the sander as a last step. Buffed that out. put the saw back together Yep, it is a biggie. 22" saw. Maybe 11 or more tpi. Looks a little better? Ok, next the base. Old broom to evict about ten resident spiders, and demolish their homes. Had a sprayer cleaner from odd lots, gave the base a good soaking down. Then a wipe down. Couple places had some rust going on, sanded that off. About time to put this saw back together Does look just a little better, don't it now. As for the base Yep, you can read every degree on that scale. Rollers work nice and smooth. Still learning about all the locks this thing has. The levers seem to lock the rollers in the "up" spot. That thumbscrew thingy seems to be some sort of depth stop? No, I haven't found a motor under there, nor a place to plug in a battery. Not too bad, for a $5 saw?

The image is upside down but the wood bar is turned to create tension on the frame for the blade, note the detailed chip carving in the recessed portion of the tension bar. -

27.5" long, it has a solid long stroke, the entire blade is usable from the start of the cut to the heel of the saw, I have two other blades with varying TPI. -
This is not my saw, I found this image on Ebay and I just like it a whole lot. -

A couple of recent projects I have been working on. The first is a very old Spear and Jackson rip saw with a graduated tooth pattern. This saw is very old with no medallion and split nuts. No etch and the maker mark stamped out n the blade. I need to be on the lookout for a donor saw to replace the missing bolt and nut. The plate is very close to complete but has just a bit of a hook in it. I touched up the teeth a bit and was able to rip hard maple scraps quite nicely with it. I cleaned the blade only lightly on this one to keep the patina more intact. The second saw is an Atkins panel saw. This one is only about 20 inches long and hung in his small farm shop when I was a kid. I remember him using it now and again for building repairs etc. After his death in 1985, it fell into a poorer state through lack of use. I did not know it was still around until my dad recently produced it out of storage in the back of a machine shed. I found some very light etch when I cleaned this saw but not enough to save. This one is pretty straight, has been filed back to crosscut, waxed and polished. It will be in my kit for long term. Glad to have this one. I have a Disston as well from him that will need more help and perhaps a new handle. I will tackle that one soon.
