Let me just start this thread out by saying that I am very excited to have this old Disston backsaw back and in better shape than it probably has ever been in. I filed off the old teeth, then cut and set new ones. It's now a 15ppi rip blade that it dead straight. It now tracks perfectly, and starts the cut nicely thanks to the 8 degree teeth. I had a blast restoring this saw, and making the new handle. I'm hooked on old tools now, and will be looking for another saw to restore very soon.
Here's a picture of the saw when I bought it.
Here is is with the new curly bubinga handle, and correct sawnuts.
