The polished brass, screws and stained wood looks great. I like how you talk to us like we are there in the room with you. Keep cranking out the awesome videos.
You had me with the wood, steel and brass. Your magnificent clean up was the icing on top. Loved your bloopers too. Still chuckling about them whilst working.
A job well done!!! I liked the way you lined up the screw slots with the lines going around the brass. It's details like this that show you go the extra mile.
Beautiful restoration of a vintage saw. I have never heard the term pad saw. At first this saw reminded me of a drywall saw with its thin straight blade. I like your ingenious ideas for repairing tools such as the popsicle stick and steel wool on the end of a drill bit. I wondered how you would solve the looseness problem with the brass. The epoxy really did the trick. I envy your ability to zoom in on cool rare tools at flea markets . Thanks
Awesome job Magdad! Your attention to detail and calmness is inspiring. Thanks. Was thinking you would do Magdad Bombay Mahogany, but the Early American finish looks perfect.
I think it came out fantastic, nice build up repair on handle end. Like the brass screws in place of the steel ones, I would almost bet it came with brass screws from factory. Looked like a fun little project, thanks for the video sir.
Such a great steel, wood, and brass restoration! From the handle to the mirror polished screws it all looks great. Not to mention the handiness of the tool itself. It looks like a real handy tool to keep around. See you next week Magdad😀👍
Excellent job on the cleanup and restoration. Shame the saw did not have manufacturer marking. It was well made. I would have been tempted to shorten the screws which hold the blade. As you said, the handle came out looking really good. Brass always looks terrific when cleaned up. I got a smile from the OCD making you line up the slot in the brass screws. Well done. Dave.
Super awesome job Magdad! I hadn"t seen a pad saw before. Reallly cool tool. Loved the detail aligning the screw slots with th groove in the brass retainer. Keep inspiring all of us tool lovers. 👍😆
Just Beautiful! Is it just me or do you feel like after all that love and energy put into the job, you don’t want to use the tool? I simply want to hang it on the wall as a treasured piece of History.
For future reference cleaning the inside of a brass barrel like that…Wine bottle cork wrapped in emery paper on a drill. And for the ‘Penny’ slot try Nail salon type polishing sticks. 👍🏽
Boy you really gave a breath of new life into that one! I like the early American stain. Been my go to for years. Reminds me of gunstock a little. What a combination, brass, steel and wood :)
Now that was awesome Magdad 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I really enjoy how you describe every step you take so there is no questions when you are finished. You can really find some unique tools. Thank You for sharing!
A perfect restoration of a beautiful tool! Well done as usual! That was a great find! I would assume the whole tool was made in England. It has an English style to it, both in materials and the shape of the handle. Did you consider shortening the two steel screws? It seems like they would never need to be so long. Well maybe if there was no blade you might need that length to drive the little bracket all the way against the far side of the handle so it would not fall out and get lost? 👍😎👍
That is a very interesting and innovative saw. Nice handle for comfort. I found amongst my Dad's tools several home made saws similar to this but no where near as nice. He used materials available like copper pipe and scroll saw blades. I used his panel saws and unlike your nice wood panels the end of his saw with the copper pipe quickly wore a blister into my palm but it worked. Guess I just need to toughen up, haha. I can see a small panel saw with a fine tooth blade very useful for small detail work. My dad had made some that were course and some fine. Used small machine screws and nuts and a crimped end to hold the blade in. I noticed on the tab to hold the blade in for your panel saw witness marks that looked like the screws were rubbing against it as the blade moved back and forth. I wonder of your saw was manufactured or homemade. It has nice well thought out features. Speaking of oxalic acid the cleanser Bar Keeper's Friend has the main ingredient oxalic acid. I have used it to clean off oxidation and long term grime on aluminum motorcycle cases. Works well on stainless steal and it has some very mild abrasive. You can form a semi-dry paste. It doesn't scratch. Another tool in the toolbox. As usual MagDad a great video subject.
Most of the UK made pad saws were made by Eclipse some didn't get the makers name for some reason? I still use mine today but you'll never see them in a joiners toolbox today. The saw blades are not so easy to get over here but I managed to find two for the two I've just restored.the brass clamp head have always had a tendency to work loose but it's a easy fix with two part glue as the pressure in use makes them loose. Great little tool and a fine job you have done with yours!
@@357magdad some were I have one that's made in England by a company called clico the brass clamp isn't brass in the middle it's solid steel with a thick outer brass sleeve, the name or this feature I've never come across before.
Another great job and fun to watch. It might be interesting to take a file to that blade and see if you can sharpen it. It seemed to take its time getting through that pine stick. A beautiful tool though.
I like how the blade goes the complete length of the handle so if you break the blade you can pull out more just a guess the main reason is to control the depth of a cut very nice job first one I’ve seen
Back before I knew much about the tempering of steel I made a polishing head for my dremel by taking a small drill bit and threading the non-drill end. I sandwiched 4 pieces of 1 inch round leather between two nuts on the shaft. This became my polishing tool and I'd use paste polish on it for the next 30 years. I mention it because using this technique you could make your own custom width like to get into various widths of screw heads & such. The leather virtually lasts forever. I also have made my own buffing wheels out of old jeans and carefully holding a utility knife up to the side while it was running to cut off the excess material and make them fully round. When I get some time for it I am going to try making some bench grinder-sized leather buffing wheels as they will last much longer. Due to ScoutCrafter I reincarnated a bottle of old Brasso my dad bought from Best Buy for 69 cents (label still on it!) by adding mineral spirits and shaking it every day until the sludge redissolved into useable Brasso again. Oneday when a neighbor and I was out for a dog walk someone was unloading a bunch of free stuff and I saw half a dozen brass candle holders so I grabbed the 2 tallest ones and spent one evening working the Brasso on one candle holder. I went over with a candle in the old tarnished one and when I pulled the other one out of my back pocket he was shocked they could look so nice. I told him "You always pick up brass whenever you see it." I think I made an impression! 😉
Interesting… I have one of those type saws but mine is about half the size of yours. While it does not have a brass Ferrell it came with a long blade and two shorter ones all with different tooth count.
I have never seen a saw like this one. Is it used on wood or metal? I think I would have used a piece of one of your scotch bright pads that you use in most of your clean ups.
@@357magdad there are scotch bright pad that would clean up brass better than steel wool. If you get a badly cut piece of steel wool it can gouge out your brass. It makes me wary of using then. But you do you. It’s your project, not mine.
I think ol' Chuck needs to get down in the trenches and clean those tight spots, he only seems to want to work on the glorious polishing stage 😂 , nice work as usual!

Good stuff Bud!! We enjoyed the Bloops!!☻
Thanks RoadKing! It was a fun project!
Nice work! The whole thing has got something British about it don't you think..
Thanks Alex! They are very common in the UK. It looks a lot like the ones Marples made.
You have a nice tool now for using if you do some wood crafting
It seems like a handy saw!
Wood steel brass!!!👍
The three best friends your vintage tool ever had!

Thanks ScoutCrafter! It was a fun project!
Steel, wood, and brass, indeed, the big 3. I was surprised on how well the acid did on the wood handle. Excellent job as usual.

I think it may be a Marples. Those screws may not be original.
I cannot believe how nice the saw turned out! It looks brand new and I am very impressed with the Kwikwood. Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks John! It's hard to beat steel, wood and brass!
New subscriber. Scout Crafter sent me. 👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks for subscribing Lee! I hope you enjoy my content!
Loved this one!
Those screws appear to have straight walled slots like those used on firearms.
They seem to be hand made. The slots were not perfectly centered.
Bravo MD, attention to detail, the sign of a true craftsman !✌❤ Bob.
Thanks Bob! You can't go wrong with steel, wood and brass!
Fantastic - The Oxalic Acid really took care of those stains 👍
Thanks! This was the first time it worked well for me.

You did another great job. Do you know what the Pad saw is designed to do,(cut I know) but it looks like it has a specific purpose. Good video.
I'm not sure Dale. The were very popular in the UK. I think the ability to change out blades makes them attractive.
Well done Magdad! 😁👌🏼
Thanks David!
Great job on the restoration. I'm curious about the knurling on the ferrule. Are there two pieces or just the one? Keep up the great work!
Thanks Doug! The ferrule is a single piece. I think the knurling was for decoration.

Nice job
Thanks Larry!
My son’s school went a large step up from baking soda volcanoes. They powered theirs with thermite!
Wow! Sounds exciting!
I have never seen a saw like this one. Is it used on wood or metal? I think I would have used a piece of one of your scotch bright pads that you use in most of your clean ups.
The blade seems like a wood blade, but I bet other blades were available. I really like 0000 steel wool on brass.
@@357magdad there are scotch bright pad that would clean up brass better than steel wool. If you get a badly cut piece of steel wool it can gouge out your brass. It makes me wary of using then. But you do you. It’s your project, not mine.
Wow that is a sexy saw, I dig the brass and light color handle. Will current saw blades fit in there?
Thanks Diane! I think you can still buy pad saw blades.
Seems like it would be for maybe pruning small branches off a sapling/hedgegrow? Turned out great! Love all the small details
I bet more aggressive blades were available that would work for pruning.
Fairly popular in South Africa, I have about 30 of them
They are common in the UK too!
I'm thinking that blade is original, if you look on eBay UK under "Vintage Pad Saw" hundreds come up similar and some exact to that one.
I think it was made by Marples.
So, did you sharpen the blade? It is a saw after all.
Thanks for watching Chris! The blade was in pretty good shape - I just touched it up quickly with a file.
I think ol' Chuck needs to get down in the trenches and clean those tight spots, he only seems to want to work on the glorious polishing stage 😂 , nice work as usual!
Thanks Al! Chuck seems to disappear when the work gets tough. He always shows up again when it's time to polish!
