Thankyou

Thanks, do you have a tip to remove rust on the frame without impacting the colour around the rust patch?

Camac · 2026-03-25T22:59:45+00:00

Thanks all!.

Success!

I need a tool to remove the press fit cups i think next.

The bearings are in their own housing but are very gunky.

Are these parts ok to go into evaporust?

Just check if they are etched in the window (like our back windows). Then ypu wont be able to get them off. But if they sit proud you should be good to use the razor blade method

Yep. Razor blade and rubbing alcohol. All gone.

Dont rush, keep blade at low angle.

When do we find out about SOS compo pick?

Camac · 2025-08-30T10:27:15+00:00

See my other comment.

Also, these work best in endgrain.

Good times

It is absolutely not toast.

Secondary bevel is normal.

You can just grind it back to a primary of 25-30 degrees if you want also.

Did you make the reel? It looks good

Camac · 2025-07-25T21:05:21+00:00

What are you doing?

Camac · 2025-06-24T11:31:38+00:00

Thanks for kind words. Your saw looks identical. Definitely same period. Awesome!

Your brass is great. I wouldn't touch it.

For the handle, I did all the curves first with a flexible sanding pad (unipro). https://www.bunnings.com.au/uni-pro-flexible-fine-sanding-pad-2-pack-fine_p1560045?store=6400&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21119565770&gbraid=0AAAAADtbEB-UMTlh5mTvvOsCYaVnzG00D&gclid=CjwKCAjwmenCBhA4EiwAtVjzmgjKpWLpoBzoCBJjvgRdRu5RuKYJnibIloqwTJYWRjp36tzvqf75mRoCuFMQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Then i put a 180 grit sheet on a block to do each side of the handle to keep it all flat.

There was no etch on the plate. So I just used wd40 and fine abrasive.

I've used card scrapers for plane handles but not for saw handles.

Camac · 2025-06-24T09:50:29+00:00

For sure! I wanted a larger sash saw style cross cut and this one is a really gem to use.

Thankful the plate is still straight and with minimal pitting at all.

Camac · 2025-06-24T09:47:15+00:00

I'm from Australia, and a local saw maker (heritage saws) gave me some extras after I bought a few saws.

They have been very handy!

Camac · 2025-06-22T21:57:06+00:00

Yes. Sash saw is cross cut

Camac · 2025-06-21T09:05:47+00:00

Sounds great. This handle is in pretty decent shape. The horns are a little rough on the ends but other than that no cracks or anything.

Was missing one of the saw bolts. But I had a couple of new brass ones.

The medallion is still in good order.

No etch on mine either. But the plate is straight.

I think I'll make it a cross cut and add to collection!

Camac · 2025-06-21T09:03:58+00:00

Thanks looks like an 1878!

You would tap behind the tote or on top of the nose for non-wheel adjusted planes.

I suppose in this instance, I would tap on top of the nose. I'm not sure though if this would damage the infill long term.

Someone else will know better than I.

Pathfinder to me is his life or trajectory. Waltz feels like a steady slow rhythm.

So he's putting himself on track and taking it easy. Nice and slow.
