I came across this ole Spears & Jackson handsaw yesterday. I don't think it's been used more that a few times as I can't see any saw usage marks on the name area on the blade. The teeth are still bitey and set, but look at the beech? handle and all that rust!! Absolutely criminal for it to have been left out in the weather like that!:(( No wonder it so wanted to come home with me :D
Now for the hard part.
How do I remove the handle from the blade?
Should I use 1 x vinegar + 7 x water to remove the rust, or electrolysis? Which would be more gentle as the aim is to keep the name on the saw blade, rather than sanding it off.
Thanks
Wendy
