Saw Restoration

- Seattle Community College's Wood Technology Center had a tool sale a few weeks ago and I bought and old Disston saw. The blade seemed in reasonable condition, but needed a new handle and some cleanup. Six dollars well-spent.

Usted es un master carpintero te quedo nuevo el cerrucho.100 puntos.gracias por subir tan interesante y instructivo video.Felicidades.
I really enjoyed this. Nice time fpm. Fast enough to keep it moving, but not so fast where the video couldn't be followed. I think a lot of people could learn from this type of instructional video (if that be what it is). I know it is a restoration video, but you use your time wisely to present it to the public. I dig it.
the new walnut handle was an inspired choice, along with the turning of the keepers!! your expertise and attention to detail are absolutely obvious in the before and after pictures.
You have the patience of a Saint. A great job with a brilliant result. Thanks for posting it.
+Kevin Mc Quillan Thanks -- I will say that by the end, I'm pretty well ready to be done with it!
Wonderful restoration. Next sharpening.
Love it! Thanks for taking the time to video everything...great work!
I think you definitely deserve two awards. The first would be for one of the prettiest saw restorations I have seen. The handle is gorgeous and I'm amazed at the minimal tools you used. Cutting the entire handle out with two coping saws must have took some effort, and finishing it with just a file/rasp and sand paper is fantastic.
The second award has to go for some of comments you’ve received. I’m presuming the writing on the screen someone said needed leaving on the screen longer is the two or three word writing I saw? Almost anyone would have plenty of time to read it and anyone finding it more challenging can pause the video. Why would you want to create a different shaped handle when you are restoring a saw not redesigning it. The finish on the saw is beautiful and the lacquer looks just fine. Finally I have no idea why anyone would want to protect their saw handle from salt water unless they are a 19th century shipwright. It seems the better job someone does the more ridiculous the comments get, as if people are out to prove somehow they could have done a better job.
Your saw looks beautiful and it would take pride of place in almost any shop.
Disston D-8's are my favorite saw. The handle is comfortable and the hang of the blade is just perfect for me. Too bad the handle was broken. It was a lot of work making the new one but it's a job well worth the time
I like the polished blade. The saws I usually work on are a lot further gone than this one. I seldom take a blade down to shiny because of the rust staining on the blades I get. There's an advantage to buying tools from a woodworking school. They buy good tools and take care of them.
Thanks for sharing this restoration. It came out very nice. Lots of effort but worth it, I would have done the same. Those Disstons were the best saw to use back in the day.
A magnificent job Dan, you should be extremely proud of yourself.
Very nicely done! Thank you so much, now I have a back saw to get moving on thanks to you!
Dang....nice job man! Excellent video and I have watched many of these saw restoration videos.
Looks great, nice job!
Great result. I'd be proud to have that handsaw in my workshop.
Gorgeous work, beautiful job! That - is an exercise in absolute patience!!! I doff my hat.
Love the walnut grip. Beautiful tool.
Great inspiration for the pre 1928 I am working on. Love them super clean, but mine is rough so to preserve the etch I'm leaving patina on blade.
Perfect job!! Just like a piece of furniture.
Looks great. Thank you for sharing :)
Looks great. I have an old 2 person crosscut saw with a broken handle on one side that I have been considering repairing for a while. It's mostly decorative at this point.
Very nice restoration. Even better that all of it was done by hand.
Beautiful saw
My hat is off to you.... I don't think I have that much patience.

Q
Nice job you have talent. It happened so fast it was hard to believe what I SAW lol
Does make sense this restoration?
I mean, the tool worked like a charm even before the restoration.
Great job
great work i would be proud to us it
All I can say is amazing skills
Nice job!
this makes me happy
Antique tool restoration = automatic subscribe
Very nice.
Gorgeous saw... love the handle so this is a question... definitely not a criticism! The factory handles are Applewood and yours seemed to be in decent shape, what made you decide on a new one rather than a refinish? Thanks!
Partly because of the red paint, but mostly because despite its appearance it was actually cracked.
Ahhh, that clears it up for me! Again, great video!
Me too! Really like the time lapse photography. Good video, thanks for posting
Awesome!
Well done
That Disston you have there was made between 1917-1942. I am currently restoring one from 1896.
great vid
***** try vinegar and a wool brush...like the SOS Pads
Ficou muito bom o vídeo gosteei
whatever you write on screen needs to be left on 2x longer. Also what did you use to clean before oil, and what did you finish walnut with?
I stand in awe! You, sir are a Zen spiritual leader. Such simplicity and persistence. Great. Did you cut the kerf in the new handle with the saw itself? Then you could say the saw made its own handle.
Thanks! Sadly, no -- a different saw made the handle :-/
Looks great !! Only one thing you forgot to bevel the front leading edge of the tote it would’ve looked even better !!!
What was that blue tool you rough shaped with?
What a great restoration! I bet you would have appreciated a spindle sander during that job!
Or a band saw :D
+Rodney Fisk Heh, definitely would have helped!
+Jordan Bishop I like to use hand tool projects as an excuse to use hand tools :-)
Dan Lecocq get a treadle bandsaw!
what did you use for removing the rust? I couldn't see the bottle, is it oil? what kind if so? did you use a rag or sandpaper? Thanks, great video!
+Chris Lee That was just 3-in-1 oil and sandpaper. Thanks!
Thanks!
I'm about to try to do this also. What wood and finish did you use? It looks great. Thanks for posting.
Brent Crawford It's a piece of walnut (mostly because it was thick enough to make a good handle). For the finish, I used shellac (store-bought as opposed to mixed myself).
But.... you now have a clean dull saw!
True! I'm happy to report it was sharpened and the teeth set shortly thereafter.
Amazing job. Love the attention to detail. I have 2 questions. First, what was the finish you put on the handle? I did not see where that may have been answered. Second question. How bad did your hand cramp when you were coping that thing! lol
I used shellac. I like it because it dries fast, is easy, and can be dissolved in a pretty benign solvent -- alcohol. Heh, yeah, it was a little bit of work :-)
I am having a hard time understanding the replacement of the handle. I may have missed someting, but why cant you just sand the paint off and rub teak oil on it?
Mike Cagle Ah, it was broken in a couple spots as well
AWESOME!!!
Happy New Year Dan!
How many hours for the handle please? And...Thanks for sharing your videos
I'd say it was probably about five hours for the handle (it was a lot of sanding)
Sorry, I missed that, but thanks again to take time for your answer.
For the next one, I'll be more carefull.
+Fred Creole Native Nothing to be sorry about -- thanks for the comment!
Was the old handle broken or unstable? Could you have refinished it?
John Nielsen - yeah, it was broken, unfortunately
Nice work but you may have removed a very faint etching on the steel... There is a method of rust removal I've heard about using Molasses, water and about two weeks, I've seen vids of guys doing whole antique car fenders etc. Very nice work and you've got a lifetime saw. :)
Why did you make a new handle? Old one looked fine.
dustlesswalnut In looking back at the video it's not very apparent, but the old handle was cracked at the bottom. It was just a shame to also have to abandon that lovely old red-painted handle :-)
Just wish i could have seen HOW the Screws were Designed.
Head has threaded opening for Button's Threaded shaft? (can't get mine off)
If mine were Fancy like yours, I'd Keep the Patina. ~ Nice Work ~ *
I'm not sure what you mean. One side of the screws has a threaded tube, and the other side has a threaded rod. Thanks for watching!
1:45 it's a bandsaw! haha!
What about the saw teeth, were they sharpened?
Yep, sharpened and set. But rather than watch me do it, you should probably watch Paul Sellers do it -- it's hypnotic! (ua-cam.com/video/UA5DixEaaUo/v-deo.html)
Why not restore the original handle?
It's not really visible in the video, but it was cracked :-/
Seems like kind of a waste of time to make the new handle exactly the same as the old one
he explains the first one was cracked
well thats a great reason to make something new
Very nice, very nice indeed I personally would leave a little bit of the patina to show the age instead of looking as new but everyone has there own prefence, but great job 👍
Manual focus is your friend
spokeshave, scraper, chisel would have cut your labor into 1/10th
Nice work but difficult to watch without a narrative.
It’s not original anymore....junk
the fast forward effect is stupid
Cameron Hufault so you want a multi day video of painfully slow progress
You really oversanded the blade and took any patina and age it had and threw it out the window. Plus there was nothing wrong with the old handle.
The handle was cracked. As for the patina, a matter of taste. Thanks for watching!
To hell with ' PUTA - Tina ' ! A Real Man has shiny, polished, sharp tools that are ready to do Real Work, not a collection of old rusty antiques hanging on a wall ! That sort of shit is for women !
What was that blue tool you rough shaped with?
I'm not sure which tool you mean. I used a coping saw to cut out the shape, and rasps and files to smooth the curve. I used a blue compass to mark a line a fixed distance from the edges so that I could put a consistent rounding on all the sides.
