I was in the shop on this warm sunny day in Galveston County, Texas cleaning hand saws and and hammers.
You may recall Hurricane Harvey paid us a visit last year.
My tools went through the flood. They were not sumerged, but did see a lot of moisture. Rust was breaking out.
Wire wheels, steel wool and pad sanders do a good job of rust removal. I follow up with a coating of Johnson's floor wax.
You may recall from previous posts, I have a collection of Bluegrass hammers and Disston hand saws. I favor a good wood handled hammer and
Disston saws are special. I have 8, 10, 12 and 16 ounce hammers. I have seven Disston saws. They are 8, 10, and 12 tpi saws. rip and cross cut.
I sharpen and set the saws. If you have not done this, I suggest you make or buy a saw vise, and buy a saw set and saw files.
If you can't find a saw set, watch Paul Sellers do it.
