Antique hand saws restoration (Spear&Jackson and Disston)

Hi all, this is my first video, so please, do not be too harsh to me (but constructive criticism is always appreciated).


I bought these two hand saws for as less as £1 on Facebook Marketplace. The owner decided to get rid of them because was clearing out his garage from unused items. Thanks to him, I have become owner of two pieces of history. According to my research in internet one of them is Disston (1914-1928) unknow D model as etching is barely visible, and second one is Spear & Jackson probably from or before WWI times.


Help with classification will be much appreciated.



Durring disassembling process I had to cut through head of one button in S&J saw as I was unable to unscrew it. I made a drive in that place instead.


To prevent wood and keep its oryginal color, I have decided to use wax for preservation.


Remember to use gloves and safety glasses when working in workshop!


Hope you will enjoy my video! Any questions or sugestions are always welcome.
