Disston D8 Restoration: Rust removal, etch preservation, re-shaping teeth | Veritas saw file holder.

~~ ENABLE CLOSED CAPTIONS FOR THE DETAILED NOTES ~~ I purchased this Disston D8 rip handsaw for $10 AUD online. It was in pretty terrible condition, with a very rusty plate, and a bone dry and cracked handle. You don't see Disstons too often around here in Australia, however, so I took a chance on it still having its temper. First thing I do is repair the structural cracks in the handle. I did this before filming, as it would be a totally different video if I had to make a new handle. I clean the handle with mineral turpentine, then oil it and give it a light sand and scrub with 0000 steel wool. For the plate, I scrape off the surface rust with a spare plane blade, then clean up and polish the plate with a whetstone I use just for this purpose. I lubricate the stone / scraping with more mineral turpentine, but on reflection singer oil would have been a better choice. I remove the rust manually because a chemical method would likely remove any remaining etch on a plate this rusted. I was very happy with how much of the etch I was able to save. It's more clear in person than on video. After this I joint the teeth, and fully re-shape them. This took a long time, but it was worth it, because after sharpening and setting, this saw works like a dream. It follows a line perfectly and cuts faster than any other saw I've used - I took a lot of care with the filing and used the Veritas saw filing guide, so this may be why I got such a good result. If you're wondering why I didn't repair the crack in the cheek of the handle, or the missing part of the horn - it's because I didn't need to. This is a tool for me to use, not to look at, and those are both cosmetic and don't effect the function of the saw. The saw bolts hold that crack closed, and I suspect it will close itself up as the wood gets used to being oiled again. Hope you enjoyed the video. 00:30 - handle cleaning 01:14 - rust removal 03:18 - sanding/oiling handle 05:22 - jointing saw teeth 06:10 - setting up filing guide and filing teeth 09:10 - setting teeth with a saw set 09:55 - cleaning bolts and re-assembling 10:30 - stoning the plate 11:00 - final test #traditionalwoodworking #handtools #antiquetoolrestoration . . . . . . . .
