Thread: Pound Puppies, lockdown project.

I did a saw sharpening course a few years ago and since have picked up the odd saw from the tip in order to keep in practice.
I don't have any 'before' pics for these, but they were pretty typical of what you pick up at the tip, covered in rust and paint with plastic handles.

The S&J at the bottom still has the original handle, just wants a coat of oil, but the others had the horrible huge plastic handles.
Second one up is a KINZI, I used the original saw nuts again because they were still there and usable.
The top two weren't branded and had no saw nuts but were substantially constructed little saws so I used odd nuts I had lying around to complete them.
The closed handles are kauri and blackwood wattle and the open handle is European beech from a large S&J not worthy of reclaiming.

Mistakes were made and lessons learnt, but a good little time filler for lockdown.
