Very nice face lift to your back saw. I am trying to do the same or make a new handle. I will post it when ready. I am searching for the fixing nut bolt

Very nice job. I like the newer handle style you made better than the post WWII Disston handles anyways. Very nice job.

Nice work, always like to see old tools looking good again like they deserve.

That is a transformation!

Greg, I like what you did to the saw. I have a couple of Disston had saws that I have been meaning to knock the rust off of but I wouldn’t have considered reforming the handle. I like what you did with this backsaw.

Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks for all of the kind words.

Thats amazing what you have done to reshape that handle! It looks SO cool now. Great job on the restoration, it’s got an entire new life.

Very cool – what kinds of files and rasps did you use?

After shaping on the bandsaw, I used a small set of riffler rasps for the details.

Greg – what’s the blade length and ppi on this saw? Also, rip or cc?

Thats a great conversion on the saw handle.
