Hello,
I have acquired a few Disston hand saws and need advice with a clean-up and sharpening.
I have started clean up on Jackson back saw, it has the split screws, which I made a screw driver for them.
The back saw came with a Perfection miter box, Pat. date Dec 23,02. #456.
What would be a suggested Saw set for a beginner to use?
Was looking at a Morrill's Apex special or a Stanley 42
Don't have a idea on how old the back saw is, not to much information on Disston's Jackson line.
The seller stated the saw was what the miter box came with originally, but I thought the split screws where discontinued
years earlier than 1902..?

The screws loosened up easily, but was surprised on how thin they where..yikes.

Since i have it taken apart, will do the blade in electrolysis.
