Nice old saw. Still got a couple of lifetimes left in that blade.
Regards
John

That saw was a good 'find' Stewie, it seems to have had virtually no use. I've not seen a handle of that age with so few scars! Should be several lifetimes of use in it yet, given we don't use saws up anywhere near the rate our fathers & grandfathers did... :U

Cheers,

Are the teeth crosscut, or still rip, at the point in time of the last photo, please?
Thanks,
Paul

Paul; the photo shows freshly filed teeth. They are fleamed (crosscut).

Thanks. It's neither here nor there, I was just trying to decide (inside my head) whether I was perceiving the teeth (from the side-on view) as still kinda forward-rake-y.
Ultimately, I guess I was wondering if you had not overly changed the rake from the ripsaw - to save effort - or had reshaped them more significantly.
Cheers,
Paul McGee

Paul; the rake angle was backed off to 8 degrees during reshaping.

Stewie;
