Didn't want to hijack the other thread about saw teeth....
So, I have an old Disston 20" Skew Back 10 ppi handsaw, from the early 50s.

Have cleaned the saw plate up, hammered out the kinks. BLO wiped on and back off of the handle. There IS a faint Disston etch, just haven't found the model number.
Got out the old Wentworth saw vise. and tried out a jointer..

But the file wasn't any good.....went with a bigger file..

I took the ratty handle off the file, as it was in the way. After quite a few passes..

No...there aren't any missing teeth, either. This might be awhile before I need the saw files.
As for the Wentworth No.1?

Have it attached to a 2x6, so I can stick the vise into my end vise on the bench.
Have a few teeth on the saw that the gullets aren't very deep. Might work on those first?
