No walk abouts....no projects, what to do?
Had a couple saws from last year's rust hunts...both are Disstons. One is a "Journeyman" according to what I can make out of the almost gone silkscreened logo

Yeah, yeah....HK Porter era. Hanger hole, cheap hardware.....The second saw was a bit older
Second saw's handle was way too blocky, saw plate had a small bend. Plate needed cleaned up

Hardware was cleaned up, screws clocked. Blockiness was removed, along with the flaky finish

Bend was fixed. Took the handle off to sand the curves, and apply the Witch's Brew finish ( wipe on-wipe off)

Plate was shined up. It is a 8ppi, 26" crosscut. No hanger hole!
The saws were part of a 3 for $3 set. This one seemed to need fixed up, not so sure about the others...
next time I get "Bored" I might even sharpen those teeth. It is fairly sharp as is. Now it fits the hands a bit better.
Just something to while away an afternoon...
