I have a handsaw that I bought from the neighbors estate sale when he passed years ago (couple, actually, but only one in question today) that up until recently I’ve had little interest in.
It had a really heavy combo of rust and oil on it which I have started to remove. There are no markings on it that I can find other than the ‘9’ (or 6?)pictured.
It doesn’t cut that great, and since it’s not a show winner by any means I thought I’d try to clean it up and throw a file on it just to try my hand at it, but I don’t know where to start. I figure I can’t really make it worse than it is in its current condition.
The blade measures 13 3/4” long, saw is 17 3/4 total. It’s 3/78 tall and tapers down to 1 1/2. I assume it’s nothing special, Most everything he had was all run of the mill quality, lots of general repair tools for farm equipment, machining, and odds and ends tinkering.
Any help is appreciated!
