How do you plug it in ?

Okay, so you don't plug a hand saw in.  To recondition it, you sharpen it and oil it ?

He took it apart, polished the brass hardware... Cleaned and refinished the handle. Apparently the little logo/badge is worth 12 bucks alone.

He didn't even have to sharpen the teeth. He says that this is a pretty desirable saw. I chose it because it was different than the others and it was still sharp.

He is up on such things. I wish I had bought all of the saws they had at 2 dollars each. I bet they thought people would buy them to hang on the wall as decoration.

I have one of those two man cross cut saws with the long handles on either end.  It's the kind you see on tavern walls where they serve expensive micro brews etc.    Saw a similar one on e-bay for $59. 

It's the kind of thing you can't throw away, so it sits in the shed waiting for the apocalypse to become important again.

Mine is hiding. It comes out to entertain city folk.

Funny you should say that, because no one is as young as they used to be... I mean it stand to reason!  ;D

But, I must say that is a pretty dang awesome beard!

I just know I could grow a manly beard, but I'm not allowed to.

She won't let me.   :icon_cat:   :glasses1: :whip2:

Jim fixed up a nice 1 or 2 person saw that we used a bunch in Grafton. It must still be there somewhere. I got that for $2 too.
We also bought a new 2 person saw that John and I loved to use for the final cut on a tree so we could hear the wind blowing and whatever sound the tree was making. And when you run away you don't have a running chain saw your hands. :)

Jim gave William this lathe for his birthday. He recently bought some nifty antique turning tools for it. This is his first turning with it.

Thanks Jim. I especially like the mount and everything you built for it. He was able to take it outside to make the mess.
