A tale of two saws, part two

[steven c newman]

Part of that $10 deal for the Bucking saw to prune a tree with, was a handsaw for it's bolts.292294well, had to trash out that little saw's tote to get what turned out to be RIVETS out of it. Plate looked like.....well, can't say that on here. Trash can.

Well....maybe not:confused: seems i found a spare tote laying around in the shop, marked as a "Pattern". Hmmm, weelll IF I can clean up the plate, and marry it to the Pattern Tote..

Not expecting a whole lot, got some 60 grit sandpaper and the palm sander out. Gave each side of the plate a good going over. Pattern tote was a close match....292295 Hmm, maybe we can save it? Shined up nicely292296 turned out to be an 8ppi crosscut. Not a kink, not a dent, very little pitting, no missing teeth. Only thing now is to find a few saw bolts, and a WS medallion. Maybe give the teeth the once over, as well.

Well, off to Feebay to find a few bolts...

Didn't really like the "pattern" tote. Went out on a rust hunt today, and picked up a pair of Parts saws. 292321among other things. Saw on top may be a basket case...waste basket. It does have some fancy brass hardware, "Diamond Edge" stamped in it. Brass bolts. Tote has some cracks, pate is FUBAR. The other saw also had a bent plate. BUT no cracks in it's tote. It had steel bolts, and a Warranted Superior Medallion the right size. Cleaned them up, and installed on the rebuild plate292322 not too bad. Test drive showed a need for some file work, but it did cut nice and straight.....in red oak 2x stock. 292323Beat a plywood tote full of wood filler? As for the other saw? Anybody have a need for Brass "Diamond Edge" saw bolts? 292324 or a slightly cracked tote?
