Disston saw rehab?

[steven c newman]

Wonder IF I need to remove those handles, before trying to sharpen the teeth?

May put this on hold for a few weeks....Have a scrollsaw to get running, again..

Patterns have been made, need to make use of them, to build something more connected to this time of year..

Becomes a "Rudolph" Will need to lay in a few supplies, too. At least, I can do these sitting down at the scrollsaw.

I started my own rehab on a similar Disston. I made a fleam & rake guide. I'll post when I can. Would you like the guide in here?

I did not mention that saw sets tend to multiply like rabbits. I have at least four.

I can verify this statement. I have 5. I didn't mean to.

But the more I try to use them, the more I want to try the one I have that's inline rather than the pistol grip ones I have.

I'll keep an eye for a few guides....

There was a fellow awhile back ( GE Hong Videos) that used an old, worn out, plastic handled, firmer chisel. He cut a series of slots into one edge. He then used those slots to set the teeth on a frame saw he had just made. How much he bent each tooth was by eye and feel. ...Hmmmm I may have one or two old chisels sitting around.....
