In this video we will be restoring a old vintage Disston hand saw. I will be covering disassembling the saw, removing the rust on the saw plate, how to clean up the handle and refinish it , cleaning up the saw hand nuts and screws and finally reassembling the saw. I will also be releasing 2 videos in the coming week on sharpening saws, one on a rip cut saw the other a cross cut.

Please leave any comments below it really helps out the channel and check out my Instagram and Facebook pages (link in description)
