OK, decided the old saw vise needed new lumber....old was too narrow, and too short... With the idea that when this is in the vise, sitting on the rods...a saw's tooth line would be about 4' off the floor....closer to my eyeballs, easier to see. Oiled the moving parts, wiped off the crud.. Note to self: IF you are checking how well them jaws work..don't have a finger in the area...DAMHIKT Logos? Logos?? "NO . 1 " Logos... PAT. APR 8 79.....April 8, 1879...been around, awhile. Set this carefully aside... one of the saws that was sharpened in that vise....20-1/2" long, straight back, 8ppi Panel saw. Wrong bolts...not sure about that handle...seems to be filed "Crosscut" might give it a try.. Scrap from the plank the saw vise was rehabbed with...might be a good test? Lots of sawdust....lumber was left-over treated pine, from the Porch Project... In about the same amount of time it took to type that last sentence....I just might get the hang of sawing by hand? Split the line. All the way around.... Thumb rubbing alongside the saw's plate seems to help..Might just keep that Panel saw around....and save the 10ppi Disston 20" D8 for finer stuff... Have no idea who made the saw used in this test... Not too bad of a saw?
