Now that I've finished a project, I'm doing a little R&R with some hand saw restoration. Most of the grunt work of cleaning, polishing the plates and Repairing/restoring the totes is done.

Left to right here are: 3 Disston #7 totes all right around 1900, 2 Disston D-8 totes pre-1928, 3 Disston #16, and on the far right as Simonds #10 and a Disston #12. I think this is a pretty fair representation of Golden era tote design and I'm wondering which, if any my fellow neanders prefer?

Now it's on to the fun stuff of sharpening and tuning. My back is only good for a couple of these a day so it's going to take a while. If Anybody is interested in sharpening/tuning pics, let me know and I can post some. I know there are plenty of other threads/pictures of saw stuff so won't post here if it's not of interest.
All the best, Mike
