Two panel saw’s restored. Based on their markings one of them is from 1942-53 and one is from the mid to late 50s.

I also learned how to sharpen these saws thanks to my friend John W. I learned to sharpen using these newer saws so that I am ready to work on some older I just found at a garage sale.

Those look great and ready for the next 60 years. How did you get the metal cleaned up so well?

Good looking saws. I hope they cut as straight and true as they look, if so, you got some gems. Hope you put them on “Show the restoration, before and after” thread. Lots of cool restores on Don W’s thread.

Very nice work of the restores. I would also encourage you to post this here in the saw restoration thread. I’d like to see the before pictures and close ups of the tote and medallion if you have any.

Awesome restorations. There’s nothing like saving an old tool.
