Danish frame saw restored
actually not a lot…
Today I passed a flea market, and it was all old clothes, but when I was leaving I spotted this old saw and asked the guy what he wanted for it – 5 dollar was the answer, and I just said top, no fighting about this price…
So half an hour of restore and I have a fine saw, the blade was even sharp and ready to use.
Pictures:
1. A Danish frame saw (yes I call this type a frame saw).
2. The saw came with a broken string and a missing tigthener.
3. So new string and a piece of wood.
4. Cutting, why not as a fish.
5. Shaping it on my supersander.
6. Linseed oil and wax.
Update June 2012.
Look what I just got for 50$, with different blades all from fine cross cut to rough rip – wauuu I’m happy.
Hope it can be to some inspiration,
Best thoughts,
MaFe

Very nice. You have been busy today. I’m looking to add a couple of these saws to my tools. Thinking about making them.

Isn’t it nice when you find something that only takes a little work to get it operational again. That was a great find.

yes I call this type a frame saw
This made me laugh since we had our talk on my blog. That’s a fine looking tool Mads. Have you been able to put it to use yet? They are an interesting animal compared to Western and Japanese saws I would love to hear your thoughts.

Wonderful work. I truly enjoy seeing others and myself bringing old tools back to use. As you said yourself, it show’s such respect for the tools. I’ll add a little to your statement, and those who originally made them. Thanks for the post.
