Saw rehab,1 for 2 - bandit571 - 12-02-2017
Found a Moving Sale Friday morning, and picked a pair of saws......was aware they were "Gold-plated" $18 for the pair?
[attachment=6090]
One did look decent enough.....the other was even close...but it will provide parts......a handle and a couple saw nuts
Took the handle off, and found..
[attachment=6091]
Out why only two bolts matched up....Saw plate was badly pitted, as well. Turn my attention to saw #2
Got the bolts removed, and shined up
[attachment=6092]
Handle was removed, sanded to remove the flaky, old finish..
[attachment=6093]
Set these aside, and worked on getting the plate cleaned up
[attachment=6095]
Since that was 5 photos, I'll have to do a "Part 2"
Stay tuned

Ok, I used a 1/4 sheet sander to clean the saw plate
[attachment=6100]
Once both sides were cleaned up..
[attachment=6101]
I also wiped on a couple coats of Amber shellac onto the handle, and put things back together..
[attachment=6102]
I even clocked the screws' slots
[attachment=6103]
This saw is a Disston D-112..
..26" long, skew backed, 7ppi, crosscut filed saw. Test cuts? 
[attachment=6109]
Does not need sharpened. Them teeth are VERY sharp
Might have been worth missing breakfast?

Good score on the saw with a GREAT cleanup after. That one looks like a good user, indeed.

Maybe with the crappy saw plate you can make some good hand scrapers.

Oh, well done!!! That 112 is a fabulous saw. Excellent work on the rehab.

Thank you...
.As for that other saw?
[attachment=6159]
Cut the 2" off the heel, to remove all those extra holes....added a spare handle that seemed to look better....
[attachment=6160]
Only to find it was cracked..
I do have a similar handle..hopefully it isn't cracked....
Plate is black from all that "patina" and a rub down with 3in1 oil, to stop any more rust. The wood block? Saw sits in a kerf the saw had made....makes a nice little display stand May at some point try to re-do the nib? Tooth length is 24", and is a 8ppi crosscut. Might make it a Panel saw....
RE: Saw rehab,1 for 2 - bandit571 - 12-09-2017
Three decent saws?
[attachment=6207]
Maybe?
[attachment=6208]
Atkins No. 53...59?
[attachment=6209]
Richardson Brothers No. 8
[attachment=6210]
Disston D-112. And....
[attachment=6211]
A Disston D-8 (1953?) on top of an old Disston No. 7
Might be a decent start.....

Nice!
RE: Saw rehab,1 for 2 - C. in Indy - 12-10-2017
Nice set o' saws!
The Atkins, I would bet, is a No. 51; the screw pattern matches that better than it does the 53/58/59 saws. A real fine saw; my go-to rip saw is a No. 51. Lots of those old ones lost the nickel-plating on the screws over time.
