Hi all,
I was poking around my local antiques mall yesterday and found a couple of handsaws (Disston) with decent looking handles. However, they were being stored outside and were fairly rusty. Yet for $8 each, they seemed like a bargain and worth restoring. Before / if I buy them, a couple of quick questions:
1) What's the best way to de-rust them?
2) How can I tell if the rust is problematic (i.e. shouldn't buy) vs inconvenient (elbow grease needed)?
Thanks,
Noah
