Rip Cut Hand Saw Restoration
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 гру 2019
- I found this saw (along with many others) when cleaning out my grandfathers garage. The price tag was $4 on it which means it's at least twice as good as tysytube's $2 hand saw that he recently restored. When restoring this saw I realized I needed a saw set which I restored in my most recent video released last week.
I'll have some more interesting, complex, and unique restoration videos coming out starting next week, but I had these couple of simple restoration videos sitting in the can waiting to be released. I'm really excited for the videos that will come out over the next few weeks so be sure to subscribe and keep an eye out for them!

The handle design and medallion make it an institutional quality Disston from the depression era. The UWHD was a wood burned property mark added by some agency. Possibly a trade school or city or county government. The WPA purchased thousands of such tools in the early 30’s. Some were used at CCC camps but most were passed out to local work programs now long forgotten.
Do you have some examples of this? Some reading material I could read on this? It's very interesting to me.
Ingmar Fris Im sure there are books. I speak from experience. I have tools from my grand and great grand fathers and tools purchased at auctions. My father in law, now 97 once worked in a CCC camp as a boy in the 1930’s. I have close to 50 old saws in my collection. Two that belonged to my GG father i still use. Im 70.
@@MrJento Well I'm going to be researching this. I haven't done any restorations yet and I don't have any tools but this stuff fascinates me to no end. I appreciate you sharing this information, it's really interesting. That's a pretty awesome story. My family is quite spread out and we don't have any tools from my great grandfather on either side. My great grand father on my dad's side was a mechanic in the Netherlands but I don't think he brought much over when he came here.
Ingmar Fris there are several channels that restore tools. And most libraries have books about old tools. I have tools because I use tools. Both modern and antique. I use tools because I was taught how to as a child. But its never to late to learn or simply collect a few to look at. Flea markets, antique malls and the like are good places to look. Tools are becoming popular thus scarce and more expensive. A trip to a flea market with a tool booth will begin your education. Most vendors love to talk tools.
You should have soaked the handle in oil in a zip lock bag for a day. You can literally hear how dry it is. I promise that handle will not only last a great deal longer but the color would have deepened without a stain
Here I am, 20 years old watching a guy restore the most random things and enjoying it lol.
Most excellent work. A restored tool to repair a restored tool. Don't forget to wax the blade.
I have to give it to this guy not just because of his amazing restoration skill but the fact that he uses hand tools and not drills that takes determination and patience and big balls
I don’t think the four letters are a makers mark, but an owners mark.
Maybe, I have an old saw, and it's marked with a K, which I think is for Kemp, my grandfather's last name.
You’re diligence and care is unmatched! Beautiful restoration
Still looks antique , awesome !
Wow. I never would have guessed that wood was so beautiful
Love the simplicity of this
Great job. This saw is just beautiful!
The warranted superior medallion gives this saw around 45% probability of being a disston secondary line saw
Or a Disston manufactured saw for a private label, perhaps Craftsman or similar brand.
Damn, I never knew vinegar was good for removing rust. It works like magic! I'll remember that trick for sure.
It's funny. I have just found your channel and started at your oldest video. I think I have now seen you try to use this saw before being restored and it did not work so well. Then you restored the saw set, now using the saw set to restore your saw. You certainly are coming full circle. Can't wait to see what you use the saw to help restore next. 👍
I have been waiting for this one.
Very nice indeed.... The setting process was useful ... I recently finished a 1943 Eclipse saw set, which I'm looking forward to using when I restore my saws! Thanks....
I have read that saw teeth should be set before they are sharpened. Also, I wasn't convinced that the file was at an optimum angle, or that the left set and right set teeth were filed according to the set. They appeared to all get the same filing.
You did right by that nice old saw. I like it.
Nicely done!
Nice work!!

I love the wood handle 😍😍😍
Very nice!
well done!!!
Bravo de France 😘😘😘 you are the best 👍😍😍😍😍
That vinegar bath worked wonders. Great job.
Hi RS👋👋👋👋 very good restoration hand saw 👍👍👍🔥💣👌🏽
Amazing work! Do you sell any of your restorations?
I looked up the letters didn't find anything saw turned out good.👍
Now that you have the rust off, I would put a coat of some wax on it to keep the rust off. Even a coat of car wax would work. Thumbs Up
Once you have determined that there is no trademark etching on the right side of the plate to protect, I would sand it down even further, with finer grit, to achieve a much smoother finish.
Gary Mucher - Yes. It would also make sawing so much less work.
Super bravooooo
Hi, the saw looked in pretty good nick, but it certainly needed the nice cleanup you gave it. Good job.
Just wondering why you demonstrated by doing a cross cut with a rip saw?
RussG seems looks like plywood to me... in that case it doesn’t really have a grain direction
@@catok9338 it has grain running in both directions, right? So half the cut was "proper". Lol
The four letters U.W.H.D. might be a Housing Department or they might just refer to the name of the owner.
An owner might have carved their initials into the handle whereas these look burned into the handle.
Possible sources might be University of Wisconsin Housing Department or University of Washington housing Department.
Anyhow, I think it would be fascinating to identify the origin of this saw.
MatchstalkMan great. the initials look more official than private to me too.
Τέλεια η επισκευή του πριονιου χειρός.
A saw shouldn't wobble on the back stroke if you do it properly
I think that's because the set he put on the teeth is not adequate. If there was more clearance on the backstroke, there wouldn't be as much friction and the saw would not vibrate.
Great job! Btw, it’s an owner’s mark, not a maker’s mark.
Fun fact in the old Corps boiled linseed Oil was used to keep your M-1 and later M-14 stock in shape
Dogsoldier 1950 - Semper Fi, Marine. I put loads of BLO on my M-14. And no gloves, for sure.
Good Job and I also think the letters are the owners.
If you're in or near Iowa maybe Urbandale Windsor Heights District
Where do you get that off-set tool for the teeth and what do you call that tool? I loved this restoration. I like the sound of the screws in your hand. Kind of sounded like marbles.
The Ropes of Renovation ....It’s a “saw set” ( saw tooth setter).
@@mercoid Simple enough. lol. Thanks so much.
👍👍👍
Wow I've never left a saw in the vinegar for that long but it looks like you've had way less work to do with it after I might even try it I usually only leave them over night
I believe the letters are a mark of previous ownership. Perhaps U.W.H.D stands for University of (W) Housing Department.
Stay safe ✌️😎
What's the height of this (or similar) saw (width of the blade) where it's tallest and on the opposite end? I am thinking of making some saws. Length and thickness are known but width/height is hard to find.

Is all of that black stuff oxidation as well?? 😯😯😯
UWHD May refer to the owner or company. HD could also refer to Henry Disston a well-known maker of hand saw since 1840....
I thought it might be something like "University of Washington Housing Department"....But that's just a guess.
what saw set did you use?
Try Krud Kutter, it's a bit expensive but a really really good rust remover, you would only wait a few hours rather than a couple of days.
Good to know, thanks. However, I was pleasantly surprised how well the vinegar worked.
@@clark57225 ok but trust me it's way faster than the vinegar, with Kris Kutter I would have given it an hour and that thing would have been squeaky clean
@@clark57225 also never use acid to remove rust since you have a risk of eating away the metal
@@fnafplayer6447 Mr. Squid, you have another customer for Krud Kutter. Thank you.
@@clark57225 I'm not sponsoring 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
what kind of paint did you use?
1 thousand like!
UWHD. Is it possibly Urbandale-Windsor Heights Sanitary District? I found the acronym UWHD in Windsor Heights, Iowa town documents.
The round metal plates means it is a Disston, I have one only not as old, no idea what the letters burned into the handle mean, perhaps the owner put them there?
How did you like the vinegar?
The Ropes of Renovation ...It was delicious! Especially after seasoned with iron oxides 😃
@@mercoid =)
Cảm ơn bạn rất nhiều vì đã thông báo cho tôi
Anybody else smell that boiled linseed oil as it was lathered in?
Ultra wide high definition lol
What's the tooth count on that saw
DISSTON Henry
“University of Wisconsin something something” ??
Nice work on the hand saw, but the blade should have had a protective coating of some type.
It's caused by the arm not in line with the saw on the pull back
Thanks. I'll keep that in mind..
Union workers housing division (or department)
is a DISTON???
I think you may be right. Henry Disston. I wonder if the name was on the blade anywhere?
@@theropesofrenovation9352
is in the rivet, or is usually there

@@efrenkov Awesome! Thanks!
Можно было бы и полирнуть полотно.
United Private Hire Drivers or Upper Wisconsin Highway Department ,lol
Your captions are to small and hard to read. Good saw restoration though.
Not sure why you tested a rip saw by cross cutting plywood? Nice job, yes, but you should have tested it by ripping a board, shouldn't you have?
University of Wisconsin Housing Department
That moment when you realize most people buy new replacement saw blades so you don’t need to get the rust off this old one 😂
But that's not the purpose of restoring something
Yes it is. Certain things have replacements you wouldn’t sharpen a razor blade to shave you’d buy a new one and throw the old one out saws are the same it’s still a restoration you’re still restoring the handle which is basically the main part of the saw
You can't just go buy a replacement blade, they don't sell these saws anymore. If anything, the saw is the more important part; you can make a wooden handle in your garage, but most people aren't working/cutting spring steel in their garage. Plus, any saw you buy from the hardware store can't be sharpened or changed b/c they harden the teeth (unless it specifies "resharpenable").
Also some people absolutely sharpen razor blades for shaving, just depends on the type of razor.
You need to work on your saw sharpening still see flats on top of the teeth
Yep. I even mentioned that if you read the caption. I went back and sharpened all of the teeth equally
What is the tool you used to set the teeth? What exactly is it for? I'm sure I need one.
Your captions are to small and hard to read. Good saw restoration though.
