The wife and I just headed out to the in-laws to spend tonight and tomorrow with her folks for mothers day. Stopped at a local flower shop to get a bouquet and I saw this old boy hanging on the wall. At first glance, I thought it an old beater just there for decoration, but walked over and gave it a look over to find it to be a wonderfully clean and stiff 22" 10ppi Disston (d-23???). Even better, not just decoration, it had a $15 price tag on it. So I pulled it off the wall and got it rung up....had to laugh when I overheard one of the flower arrangers say "hey, someone finally bought that saw off the wall. "
Anyway, the handle has a not so great repair and the blade has bit of a bend at the tip (both of which I can, but may or may not fix), but all in all it should turn in to a great user. It will make a nice xcut finisher, but I already have a 20" atkins I use for finish xcuts so this might become a rip finisher/thinner material saw. Anyway, should be nice to have around. Just goes to show you, it pays to remember mothers day....nothin super fancy not bad for $15
