- Antique tenon saw restoration.
I bought a bag of old tools off of a guy having a outhouse clear-out and this was one of the old tools in the bag. I decided to bring it back to life using a series of easy to do techniques.
I began by dismantling the saw in its entirety. This was a bit difficult due to the age of the tool and everything was really stuck together! The saw blade itself had burrs around the screw holes which held the handle firmly in place. I decided to drill these out because I didn't want to break the handle by trying to spread it over the burrs.
The handle was sanded with 100 grit sand paper to take off the old wood sealant and varnish - I used Colron wood dye (jacobean dark oak) as I wanted to create a strong contrast of dark wood and bring shiny brass. I think this would have looked nicer if I had oiled the wood after I used the wood dye … one for next time maybe.
I then removed the spine, WD40 really helped me with this as it loosened things up a bit. I submerged all metal parts in a solution of * Vinegar and salt* to remove rust and patina - I seen this technique online and it seemed to work well but I'm sure there's better solutions to use. The metal parts were all submerged in solution for over 12 hours.
The metal parts were then rinsed afterwards to removed the dissolved dirts, rust and patina. The brass parts were then partially polished using a solution called 'Brasso' this is a really good product for bringing shine back to brass. I applied it using an abrasive pad but a regular cloth can be used.
The spine was suffering from HUGE scratches and dents that needed to be removed using a small file for the dents and a mixture of sand papers for the scratches ranging from 100 grit upto 800 grit (Be warned this take AGESSSSS)
I seem to have forgotten to add the clips into the video but I polished all brass parts using a buffing wheel on my bench grinder and polishing compound to give them a really nice mirror shine.
The saw blade was the last part of the saw to be restored, this was again submerged for 12 hours in Vinegar and Salt, once removed it was brushed with a brass brush to remove the rust and then buffed on buffing wheel on my bench grinder.
The saw teeth needed to be sharpened a bit so I drew a flat file across the teeth twice to create an even surface then I used a small file to individually sharpen each tooth of the saw blade.
Once all that was done the saw was reassembled and ready to go!
Hope you enjoyed watching!

Made my day! I have 4 tenon saws to restore 3 from England, 1 from US thanks so much for sharing your process.
@@philipchandler330 glad you liked it my friend! Have fun restoring yours!
You need a solid bench! Good vid!
Thanks buddy! I’ve since upgraded a little bit but still looking for someone a bit more substantial!
Came for the information, stayed for the amazing content👍
Very nice restoration.
Thanks for the video. Just discovered an old Tenon saw and would love to restore it so this has given me the guide. First time doing this sort of thing, so wish me luck! The video was simple and easy to follow without having to buy a whole load of new tools.
Thank you! Glad this video was some use to you :) Be sure to let me know how you get on!
Brilliant work 👏👏😀👋🇭🇲👏👏
Great work 👏 👍
Thanks friend!
A file cuts on the push stroke - never pull the file backward in the metal; ruins the teeth. For a true restoration, originally the wood was almost always finished with shellac.
Cheers for the tips!
I just discovered your channel and love it!
Great editing too!
Cheers from 🇨🇦
Thank you Johnny! Currently filming my new project as we speak! I’ve got family across the pond in Vancouver 🇨🇦

I have this same saw and the adjustable metal jig for cutting miters that comes with it. Would have been cool to see the whole thing restored. It's really well made. I still use the one I got from my grandfather for cutting miters.
You should give restoring it a shot! Great to hear tools are being passed down in your family :)
Woah!, what an amazing restoration! Cant wait for future videos!
great job..well done restoration.
Really cool video, love your stuff
Thank you Kent! New projects out very soon.
Yes, I would like to see it. But before you do, go look at the "Crosscut Sawyer" forum!
I will do, happy new year when it comes!
Another lovely restoration! Can't wait for your next video :) I am about to get started actually I have started restoring old things tools and toys but no videos yet!
Hi! Thanks for your kind comment and for subscribing!! I have returned the favour I hope to see your first video soon!
@@RestoreMore Aww thank you so much! 💓
отличная реставрация! Спасибо за видео!
Great video! The entire saw turned out nicely but that spine sure popped nicely! Is it possible for you to put on the screen what solutions you are using to get the work done? For example when you are making the solution for the rust remover just add a screen caption of what you are mixing up. Would help some of us who don't really know where to start :) Thanks from Canada!
Hi joey! Thanks for the comment! I’ll add a full in depth description of what I done in the comment section of the video tonight for you. I will also add more descriptive texts in videos coming out soon. Thanks again!
@@RestoreMore thank you, I needed these as well. Subscribed :)
@@arthurmernard5879 Thank you! I really appreciate it :)
Nice video, are you planning on making any more videos? "Colron Wood Dye" you must be in the U>K, hello from Canada
Hello :) Currently editing my next video as we speak! Indeed I am friend, Scotland!
Nice video! I would of probably finished off with applying machine wax and a buff to prevent further oxidation.
Yeah you’re right Barry! I’ll order some machine wax!
Nice

Cheers Brian! I appreciate it :) check back in a few days for my next video!!
Very nice!
This is some sweet manly ASMR!
find yourself some old, pre chainsaw, logging saws and learn how to bring them back to life. See "the "Crosscut Sawyer" forum!
I have one as wall decoration in my workshop if you’d like to see it restored in a later video I can make it happen! 😎
That turned out well! You have yourself a new subscriber :)
Why thank you friend! I’ll return the favour! :)
Great job on the saw! One quick question: what’s the purpose of adding salt to the vinegar? Thanks.
To remove rust
This may be a dumb question but what is the tool you used to brighten up the blade? Is it some kind of buffer?
Not at all! its a brass wire wheel :) you can get attachments for loads of power tools pretty cheap!
Awesome 😎
Were the screws not brass? Therefore not needing a vinegar bath.
I put the brass in the vinegar as it helps to remove old patina :) wanted all parts to be super shiny!!

Hi you need a special tool to reset the teeth after sharpening them.
The saw got stuck at the end then you walked away.
