Most of the saws that were claimed have been shipped.
Still packing a few.

I would suggest comparing to similar on E-Bay. Thats a starting point. Are these chisels in fair/good/excellent condition? Are the handles sound? As I am unfamiliar with Japanese chisels and their...

My storage for chisels is on my tool cabinet door. I tried to get or make complete sets. Bottom row are cranked neck gouges and one flat one. Next row up are flat chisels from 2" down to 1/16". Next...

Here is what is claimed so far. (Sorry can't edit the original post again.)

All I can do is try. Thanks. Eric

Here are the saws I've clean and inspected from the saw purge. Note that these are all used. They are all pretty straight. If I say they are sharp, that just means they will cut wood. They could all...

I think they are having a memorial service for him. Here is the update:

A celebration of Erik's life will be held on Saturday, July 13th, from 2-5 pm at his parents' house, located at 6865 N...

Unfortunately, we lost a good tool maker to brain cancer.

Erik Florip will be missed.

There is a Go-Fund-Me if you wish to help his family.

I have no information as to any outstanding...

Decided to clean another one with a slightly different handle. Fully rusted, handle bottom split and nailed. Medallion is typical Warranted Superior. Took the handle off and started scraping the...

Cleaned up the handle and did some research. From what I can tell, this is a Lakeside L-100. This looks like the earlier Lakeside, before they added the Montgomery Ward Logo. Comparing to a Disston...

Looked through my saw plate pile to see how many were rip large teeth. I had one that was 4 1/2 TPI but it had issues. It looks like it maybe lost an inch or so in width, the end was broke off to...

Here is one on e-bay for you to consider. How about 4 TPI? 28" length. Starting at $.99 with $20 shipping.
...

If you want I can send a couple to you for shipping cost. Probably about $20. They will be rusty with a single bend if I recall.

Most the saws I gave up on had broken handles, rusty plates, and were bent. Ones that weren't so bad I'm trying to make respectable before giving away. I am not sharpening. My eyes and hand...

Here is a picture of how Preston did it. (From Joe Stankus spokeshave book).

Yes, you can open it up. Edward Preston had a patent for just this situation. Instead of a rectangular slot he made it like a sideways hourglass. This kept the blade snug on the adjuster while...

Quick list, I have one rip Disston 5 1/2TPI, three Millers Falls X-Cut two different TPI, an Adkins X-Cut, Unmarked X-Cut teflon coated, Rockwell fine rip.

How many you want Mel? I have over 20lbs of rusty plates.

It was for a worth cause then wasn't it? Anytime I pick up one of my families tools it brings back good memories. It's a good reminder not just of them, but our own mortality.
Jim, you think any of...

Yes, but those two both had bend plates. The handles have been removed and saved for? I have a couple more similar and need to see if their handles are ok. Bishop also made similar saws. Of these two...

Yes, but I'm not willing to do the work. Of the saws that had both bent plates and broken handles, I ended up with over 20lbs of metal. Most were common thickness, one was thin. If you want some just...

Ok, I've sorted and have about ten full sized saws with good handles and fairly straight plates. If you would like a saw, let me know what type you are looking for. Cross-cut or Rip.
I can send you...

Found this and looks interesting. https://thesawlady.com/

While I do believe in beautiful tools, they need to be in good working condition. Considering the amount ow work these would need to remove rust , straighten and then sharpen, plus making new...

How hard would it be to re-harden it?
