Hand Saw Restoration - Vintage Disston

Join me as I breathe new life into a piece of family history – a 1940s Disston hand saw, passed down through three generations. This saw, a testament to enduring craftsmanship, was in need of some tender loving care, and I was thrilled to undertake its restoration. In this video, I'll walk you through the simple yet rewarding process of renewing this vintage tool, utilizing resources readily available in my workshop. Witness the transformation as I disassemble, clean and de-rust the blade, restore the original applewood handle, and ensuring it's ready for another lifetime of use. This project was more than just restoring a tool; it was about honoring the legacy of my family and preserving a piece of the past for the future. I hope you enjoy watching this renewal and perhaps find inspiration to restore your own cherished tools.
