Not that I am cheap....FRUGAL is the word I use...spent the morning raiding Garage Sales...bought 4 chairs..
505536
For a dollar each....to replace the clunky, chunky things we used to have around the Dinning Room Table...

Then, at another sale:
505537
Was this little fellow...There was also a D-23 laying under it...but..I already had three D-23s in the til...
505538
This is a Disston D8 ( the "8" is inside of the "D") 22" long, 11 ppi Panel saw. Still having a readable etch..
505539
Price ? Yeah, I could pay that....saw was straight, and still sharp..


Not too bad of a morning?

The other ones left a ring in the handle...

The Disston D8 is now all clean and shined up..even get the etch to appear..
505756
Blade length?
505757
22" Panel Saw..11 ppi that could stand a "re-freshing"
505758
Oil finish on the handle.

The "8" is inside of the "D", so this was before the big changes in 1928? Top of the etch has 1840...
Plate is straight..brass has been shined up. Not too bad for $1?
