Some of you may have seen my recent Swap and Sell post for a Medallion Toolworks Dovetail Saw. Here is the original picture I posted:
I have determined that the intersection of the universe of all people named "Wally" and of all woodworkers looking for a Medallion Toolworks dovetail saw is the null set. Today, I discovered how to "De-Wally" said saw. I took a shot with the Tormek and ground down both sides of the spine, as they were both emblazoned with the "Wally" moniker. Here is the result:
As you can see, I lost a bit of the mfg engraving, but it is still clearly legible as a Medallion Toolworks Saw. There are very faint marks where the engraving tool went the deepest and I decided to leave them as they are hardly visible and I wanted to preserve as much of the original mfg engraving as possible. A little polishing with Autosol and we are good to go. I have decided that absent any bids, this might become my "learn to sharpen a dovetail saw" saw.
