90 Year Old Destroyed Handsaw Repair and Restoration
In this week's restoration video, I repair and restore a rusty, broken 90 year old handsaw that I found in a junkyard a few months ago. There is no telling how long this tool has been sitting outside but the blade is thoroughly rusted and the original handle is falling apart as I touch it. Follow along as I completely repair and restore this antique tool and put it back in service.
I began the project by disassembling the pieces which was not very difficult given that the handle was falling apart the more I touched it. The medallion nut was stuck closed but it was no problem to manipulate it off. I scraped and brushed the loose rust off before using my own blend of rust dissolving solution to remove the remaining corrosion.
I very much wanted to see if the original manufacturer's etching was still under the rust so I used fine grit sandpaper lubed with oil to slowly remove any oxidation and was excited to find it although it was very hard to see. At this point I also noticed that the bottom half of it was missing which indicated that half of the saw had been ground away after 90 years of sharpening.
I hammered the saw blade straight and sharpened and tensioned it before testing it to make sure it cut straight.
The handle was in terrible shape and required a ton of gluing to piece it back together. I used filler to fill cracks that could not be glued shut, bleached the wood, and stained it to give it an antique well-used look.
I cleaned, polished, and nickel plated the brass medallion and nuts. A few of them needed minor repairs to fill cracks and holes.
After assembly, I gave it all one last test and it cuts perfectly straight.

Really with the gorilla?
Hi. As long as the wood pieces contact each other cleanly, carpenter's glue should hold up fine. A resin epoxy is plan B if this does not work. Thanks for the comment. Cheers!
Your work on the handle is the best that I have seen in a YT video! You give me great hope that all the work I have done to strip and refinish a 100+ years old collapsible wardrobe will look super amazing when I am finished with it! Truly inspiring !
@@lourias Thanks! When you say collapsible wardrobe, do you mean one that can break down with no tools, it is connected with only dowels and wedges? If so, I have one also that I keep my shop supplies in. I was told that it was my great uncle's and is well over 100 years old. It would make a great project on the channel if I ever decide to restore it. It is in bad condition but works well enough to keep random supplies in.
I set my saw teeth the same way. Taught myself on an old saw, when I was 15.
Bravo! The restauration of the handle is far more impressive than the saw itself!
Thank you very much! I hope that the handle holds up over time. I appreciate the feedback. Cheers!
True. When they started the handle I was like, "that handle is in a terrible condition, why not make a new one". 5 minutes later: "Oh, that's why"!
I was lucky that all of the pieces fit together well or it may not have turned out so well. Thanks for comment!
I often want restorers to save the handles. This is the first one I've seen, and it was in particularly rough shape. You have a lot of knowledge and creativity. Surprised by the soldering of those screws and medallion too. Very cool.
Thanks! I need to save the old because I have zero skills to make a new one! I am lucky that all the pieces fit pretty well so that I was simply able to glue them together. The glued joints are stronger than the wood now so hopefully this will last a while. ✌🏽
I can't believe you were able to save the handle. That's an impressive piece of work 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you! I gave it a 50/50 chance of being saved but it seems to have worked. The more I handled it, the more pieces fell off! Thanks for the great comment. 🤙 🍻
Yunno most people would have just used those old handle pieces to make a template for a replacement but you darn near did everything short of turning back time to get it back in shape and I couldn't be more impressed.
Thank you very much!
Thank you for saving that poor old thing...Especially that super dry and thirsty handle...I thought for sure youd toss it...but you gave it the care and respect it deserved.
Thanks! I was not certain that it could be saved but it seems to be holding up well so far. I have given it about five more good coatings of oil since I posted this video and it has finally reached the point that it doesn't immediately soak it up and feel dry again after.
Thank you for allowing us the privilege of watching you perform such a beautiful transformation to an obviously worn and forgotten tool. I truly admire your patience and dedication to your masterful skill. Too many who attempt restoration on various pieces actually destroy it. That may be too strong a term to use. They are trying. You are one of a select few that actually that can be called a restoration artist. Many blessings.
Thank you so very much for the nice comment. It makes me happy knowing that you enjoy my work. I wish I could show all of the steps needed for a project like this but it would make a very long video. Thank you for spending time on the channel and hopefully I will see you in the next one. Cheers!
That was fantastic! You saved that ancient wood handle! You're a hero! One in a thousand would have worked that hard to save the old handle. One in a HUNDRED thousand! Bravo!
Thank you for the very kind words. I am so happy you enjoyed the project. I hope to see you in the next one. Cheers!
finally , someone that knows the difference between restoration , and replacement ...bravo and THANK YOU!
✌🏽 🍻
I love that you restored the original wood handle as well. Rare to see that in a restoration video. Great work!
Thank you very much. I am happy you enjoyed it. Thanks for visiting the channel and hopefully I will see you in the next one!
First time I see it, as well! Good job! Is it reliable? Will last though?
@@evgenipronenko927 Hi. That is a good question. I wondered that also but it has held up very well so far. The blade is not the easiest to cut with because it is so thin near the front but overall it works well.
I liked how you kept it in an original state and how you preserved the patina. Well done. Thank you for this !!!
This is the way. Thank you for the feedback and welcome to the channel. 🍻
First time I see a person who restores a handle so damaged. Here a new sub, great job!
Thank you and welcome to the channel!!
Brother, I have paged past this restore video several times and finally stopped and watched it thinking, "OK how hard can this be?" You blew me away! I bow down to you ... your efforts on saving that handle ... I have not seen that anywhere yet! And I'm a woodworker ... I was mulling over in my mind what wood and finish you'd choose to REPLACE it!! What a wonderful restore! Wow! I had to get off my ass and come over to the computer just so I comment, and subscribe!
Hey, thank you so very much for the great message. I am happy you enjoyed the project. I was a bit worried at first that carpenter's glue wouldn't be strong enough but each piece had good fitment and once it was all connected again, it seemed pretty strong. I've used it many times in the last month and it seems to be holding up. If you enjoy wood working, stay tuned for the next project later this week. By the way, if you have a 3/4" x 6 tpi wood tap and die kit, could I borrow it? I am kidding but I am in desperate need of one for this current project and the one I ordered is a month late and no local wood shop has one. It has delayed my new video by a week and half now. Thanks again for the comment! 🍻
Wonderful job. Amazing you could repair the handle. Nice to see it can also be used as a back scratcher. 😀
Thank you! The handle was a lot of work but I am happy that someone got some use out of it.
Wow that was great 👍 I'm surprised you managed to bring that handle back. I thought it should have gone in the bin but it looks incredible now. Well done.
I wasn't sure the handle would survive either. It was literally falling apart in my hand every time I touched it. When I found the saw at a junkyard, the handle was still one piece sort of. It began falling apart the first time I picked it up. Fingers crossed that it holds together when I use it later!!
@@Restorology I'm sure it will hold together with the amount of effort you put into it and if it doesn't no body can say you didn't try.
I just brought a saw into the house to show it to my wife before showing her a still frame of your video. I have 7 old similar ones to yours, all with the same HH initials in them. Her father's initials and saws that we inherited in his home in Maine. He was a master carpenter and we have some well worn tools. I don't believe any of the saws have the original blades any longer, but enjoyed you video. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing this! Strange to have the same initials carved into the handle. If I was in Maine, I would wonder if this belonged to him at some point. To me there is nothing better than old, well-used tools. The majority of the equipment I use in my shop is second hand from estate sales and junkyards. Thanks for watching and hopefully I will see you in the next one. Cheers!
My in-laws retired here, he spent his life building in Massachusetts mostly. Except for his time in WW2 building in the Pacific. Have a great weekend.
I love that you restored the handle as well.
I am glad I did. Was not sure it would hold up but it is doing well so far. Thanks for the feedback!
Diston made really good saws about a hundred years ago. If that saw could talk he'd tell you that he was very old and tired after a lifetime of very hard work. A real credit to your skill and knowledge that you managed to coax a little more life out of the old timer. Amazing to think that when this saw was new that narrow point at the end of him would have been about 3 inches wide! Lovely restoration and it's seems only fair to let the old boy have only some occasional easy work in his well deserved retirement. Display him up on the wall and allow his presence to give you his unspoken reassurance and wisdom.
Okay I have done the exact opposite of that! No retirement for this workhorse. I've used it just about every other day for the past month on a project and he is loving it. However, given his new condition, every day after work it gets a wipe down with the finest machine oil and occasionally the handle gets a rub down also to keep it soft and smooth. I promise it has a much better life now than when I found it. Thanks for the great comment and hopefully I will see you in the next one! Cheers!
@@Restorology Lol, kudos for rescuing him, I'm sure the old fella is loving all that lavish attention! I've got quite a few really good old saws myself, Diston, Atkins Silver Steel, Sorby etc, you should see the look on some people's faces when they compare their poxy modern throwaway saw to my mighty nearly new condition 26 inch long 3 teeth to the inch rip saw... Someone once told me I should have a chainsaw licence to use it lol! Sometimes, carpenters would cut the pointy end off saws when they got really worn down to turn them into large tenon saws, so even if tip does break, it's still a good saw you've got there.
Wonderful job, as usual. Great 'trick' with the solder on the brass; I had no idea that was possible. Also, thanks (again) for preserving the handle, and not wasting an entire new board because it was broken/aged (unlike some of your fellow restorers).
Thanks! I was not sure the handle would survive the process. It was falling apart in my hands each time I touched it. I still am not certain it will stay intact once I start using it but so far it is hanging on! Thanks for the kind words. 🍻
I love that you repaired the old wooden handle instead if making a new one!
Thanks! Fingers are crossed that it holds up over time...the wood was in terrible shape. 🍻
This I call amazing finishing. When you do wherever takes to keep the old piece on place and substitute just if is no other chance. Yes man,respect for that work. That I call piece of art.
Thank you very much for the nice words. I am happy you enjoyed watching this project.
loved how you restored the handle - impressive result
Thank you!! I am happy you enjoyed watching this project. ✌🏽
The work you did on the handle to restore it was impressive.
Thank you! I really like how it turned out. I appreciate the nice feedback.
This is what I was waiting for. He used the original wood. Hats off to you, master. thanks. This is how restoration should be done.
Thank you very much. I was worried that the old wood be too fragile to use but it is holding up well so far. Peace!
Finally somebody actually repairing the wooden handle instead of just throwing it out because it has a few cracks. Great job!
Thanks!
Para nós, que amamos restaurações, essa foi uma jornada incrivel! Saudações desde o Brasil
Muito obrigado pela bela mensagem!
Absolutely fantastic job! Can't wait for your video on the rust remove formula.
Thanks! I still have some work to do on the rust dissolver. It tends to stain everything it touches!!
Well worth the hard work to restore a good tool, very nice
Thank you very much. I am happy with how well it works now. Cheers!
A TRUE restoration! The handle was truly magnificent.
Thank you very much! I hope it holds up over time. I appreciate the nice comment. Cheers!
Wow is not about restoration, but instead the love and fashion to do this things amazing.
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the nice words.
Nice restoration. When restoring handles like that you can make your life a lot easier by using bone glue/hide glue and saw dust. With the hide glue you can heat up a very thin mixture and just drench the whole thing in it. The thin glue will really soak the wood, then you can take a cloth with very hot water and just clean the surface. The end result will be a super strong piece of wood. You can then use wood dust and mix it with the hide glue and do the same to the cracks. In the end you'll have a completely natural, oilable and treatable piece of wood that's super strong, without using plastics.
Thanks! I am going to try that next time. Just stocked up on hide glue so I've got plenty with which to experiment.
most tool-restauration jobs I see would replace the wooden parts. I always consider them as an integral part of the tool's antique value. So very glad to see that you managed to retain it.
Thank you. It seems to be holding up well so far. I appreciate the feedback!
Oxical Acid and Vacuum Resin Stabilization will take your wood restoratioin to the next level.
Thanks for the advice. I've used oxalic acid to even out color and remove stains but I have yet to try resin stabilization. I found an old rotted chair recently for which it might be super useful. Thanks! 🍻
This is what a restoration video should be - restoring all the parts of the item as much as possible.
This is the way. Thanks for the feedback! 🍻
I love that you took the time to keep the original wood.👍
Thank you! Fingers crossed that it holds up over time. It was in really rough shape.
I like how you rescued the handle bar. Many others would scrap it and make a new one. Good job!
Thank you very much! I hope it holds up over time.
You sir was a wizard with your woodwork. As for your rust remover, I have seen several restoration programs, and your proprietary formula is absolutely outstanding. May I suggest that you do a video on saws next as you have a wealth of knowledge and experience with them. A small query/ suggestion that I have, would be using an epoxy resin at the end to improve the integrity of the wood handle.
Thank you very much for the nice comment. A resin treatment was to be Plan B if gluing did not work. I found one for treating rotted wood at the hardware store that I thought for sure would be necessary but once I had the pieces back together and filled cracks with a sawdust/glue mix, it seems to be holding up...for now. Several people have asked about the rust remover blend I make and I may end up doing a video about it once I finalize it. It works well but stains everything it touches so I have more work to do. Thanks again! 🍻
A proper restoration channel on KZhead never thought i see the day. Well done good sir. Hat's of for you.
I appreciate that...thank you!
Well, this one and my mechanics 👍
@@bullrider2681 Yeah he is alright too, I guess... 😀
@@Restorology 😂
Hi friend, best part was you made the blade cut straight and restored the handle with screw, if it was others they would have changed the handle. 👍👍🤝
Thank you very much! I am happy you enjoyed watching it. Peace! ✌🏽
Great job! I’ve got a few hand saws that I plan on restoring and your video helps out a lot!
Thanks! That makes me very happy to know it will help someone do the same. 🍻
Thank you for recording the process so well! Bravo not only to the restoration, but to the videographer as well.
Thank you!! It's a lot of work to film these projects. Thanks for commenting on it. ✌🏽
Beautiful old saw and you did a beautiful job restoring it. Thanks for the video.
You are welcome. Thank you for the nice comment.
Nice Disston Philly saw. I have a full set of Disston Canada saws from when I was an apprentice in New Zealand in the early 1960's. Don't need restoration which is just as well after seeing the skills you used to bring that beautiful old saw back to life. Thank you for sharing...
You are welcome, thanks for visiting my channel. 🍻
Brilliant work. Really enjoyed watching this. Thank you.
You are very welcome, thank you for visiting my channel. I hope you stay around to see future projects. Cheers! 🍻
One of the best restoration efforts I've seen. Thanks
Thank you so much! It is nice to hear that.
This is not your standard restoration channel! Definitely on par with, in my opinion, the best. Awesome job with that handle! I’m so glad you fixed it rather than make a new one. Wow. Just wow.
Hey I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for giving my channel a try and I hope you stick around for future projects. Cheers!
@@Restorology definitely!!
Amazing work with the handle love that u keept all the original parts.
Thank you very much!
This is the most amazing thing i have ever *saw*
Thank you very much for the nice comment. I am happy that you enjoyed watching it. Cheers!
Great restoration and plenty of patience required! Looks too good to use!!! 👍👏🙏
Thanks! It has already been used a lot but I know what you mean. I take an extra moment to wipe it down after using it now to keep it shiny. Thanks for the comment. Cheers! 🍻 🤙
My father was a carpenter and would love to watch this video but time took him prematurely. Congratulations from Brazil.
Sorry for your loss. It is difficult when we lose someone too soon. I hope that this video reminded you of good times with him. Peace. 🌻
I’m lucky. I have 3 of these saws that were my grandfather’s. I’m 72 and remember them as a 7-8 year old. I’ve kept them in great shape and use them sometimes. I have his kerf setting tool and two ancient hand planes. Plush a jig to hold them while sharpening them. 👍👍
You have the good tools! I need to find a setting tool if I keep doing saw restorations. Tapping it out by hand works I guess but it is probably slightly uneven. Thanks for sharing and best wishes! ✌🏽
Great job. My great grandfather was a saw maker and there are a bunch of his old saws down in the basement that could use some restoration. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to it.
It is very satisfying bringing one of these back to life. I am certain you will enjoy the experience. How old are they? Thank you for sharing! 🍻
Excellent job. Extraordinary attention to details!
Thank you for noticing!! It is hard to capture everything on camera. Cheers! 🍻
Excellent vid so impressed you basically restored the thing in entirety only added a tiny amount of solder to the saw great dedication to keeping it original your channel is an easy sub
Thank you very much and welcome to the channel. I try to keep everything original in most of my projects, even if it has to remain flawed in order to do so. As long as it works as intended then I am good with it. 🍻
It is admirable the care and love you put in your work . I am still intrigued for your rust removal concoction and I will commence experimenting with copper and nickel plating. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!!!
Thank you for the nice comment! Once I get the rust removal solution to where I want it, I will consider making a video about it. I actually ran out of it and need to make more so I haven't used it on the last few projects. I highly encourage nickel plating for parts you want protected and brilliant. It is super easy to do. Copper plating not so much. I have only had moderate success with that and need to practice more. 🍻
Wow, the results are amazing. Nice work!
Thank you so very much!
Amazing work! Attention to even the most minute detail. Well Done!👍
Thanks! ✌🏽
The attention to detail is fantastic
I am happy you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Well done! Top notch workmanship.
Thank you very much! I watched your latest video and enjoyed the topic.
Great way to set the teeth. Nice video. (The leveling of the teeth before sharpening is called jointing, but I am sure you already know that.) Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Thanks! I know that hammering the teeth are not the best way to set them but it works okay. I always keep an eye out at estate sales for a saw set tool but no luck yet.
@@Restorology I have a few saw sets. I don’t find them easy to use on any blade over 10 tpi. I will try your method. There are several new techniques in your video that I will look into. I am not a tool restorer or collector, by the way. I work in vintage restoration (houses and furniture) and use hand tools only.
magnificent work, I very much appreciated the restoration of the handle
Thank you very much! I love the design of this old handle, I had to try and save it.
I have a old saw like this in great shape Classic job you did.
Thank you! I loved how this turned out. Might try to find more to work on soon.
You did not “I make a new one” with the handle. Bravo for saving it!
Thanks. I was a little concerned that it would not hold up but so far all is good! Cheers! 🍻
The rust gunk sliding off the saw at 1:45.... so satisfying lol
I know, right?? I wasn't expecting how cool it would look. Thanks for the comment! 🍻
Amazing work the soldering of the screws was genius.
Thanks! I could think of no other way to repair them and because they were nickel plated, it covered any color discrepancies. I was especially happy to be able to make the medallion look a little better.
The handle repair was quite unexpected -- anyone else would have dumped it and then made a new one. Great job.
Thanks! I was not sure it would survive the process since it was falling apart in my hands. We will see if it holds up. Thanks for the nice comment. Cheers!
Excellent work! I have one of those saws I plan on restoring. Thank you
Thank you! Good luck with the project. Let us know how it goes. Cheers!
Excellent restoration. Especially the handle. BLO is a must for tool handles, although this one did need some extra TLC.

The part of me that loves old tools appreciates the effort to preserve and restore this saw. The part of me that likes making knives thinks "you know, that would make a fairly decent machete blade..."

Brilliant restoration, you should market your blend of rust remover, you could make a fortune
I am considering it. The ingredients are not cheap but when blended it is much cheaper than commercial brands. I am out of it right now and need to make more. 🍻
@@Restorology You should consider It at some time as the result was amazing, obviously get a patent on It
@@wobber999 Good idea. Maybe I can finally put that ChemEng degree to good use. 🤙
Beautiful restoration!

Amazing. Beautiful time consuming restoration but the results are amazing.
Thank you very much!
The real restoration 👍
Thank you! I am happy you enjoyed it. ✌🏽
Beautiful! Well done.
Thank you very much!
Very nice result, well done. A different approach to gluing i never thought of , i usually ues low pressure compressed air too blow the glue in . By the style of the etching i would say your saw is quite a bit older than 90 years .l would say it's at least 120 .
Thanks for sharing. I spent a ton of time trying to I.D. the age from the medallion and etch. The etch is so hard to see and with only half it there I think I matched it to ones used after 1928 but I cannot be sure. The medallion, if original, wasn't used until after WWI. The handle design though does put it much, much earlier so who knows. Thanks again for the comment and hopefully I'll see you in the next one. Cheers!
Very nice work. Keep up the great job!
Thank you for the very nice feedback! See you in the next one. 🍻
very impressive save on the handle pal, well done
Thank you! I hope it holds up over time. 🍻
that saw was sharpened a thousand times! I've never seen one that the end was at a point
I thought at first it was a ship saw because of the point.
Excellent and true restoration. Restoring rivets a little bit of an overkill. They seem new.
Thanks! I like the contrast between the shiny screws and worn out wood. They will dull soon though so no worries!!
Congratulations on the handle. Wood patina that old cannot be copied.
Thank you. I love the way it looks. I hope it holds up!
PRETTY SWEET RESULTS!!!
Thank you very much!
Awesome restoration
Thank you!!
Good for another 90 years. Can’t wait for part 2 in 2112

Obrigado pelas palavras muito bonitas. Fico feliz que tenha gostado do vídeo. Espero vê-lo no próximo. Felicidades! ✌🏽
Thanks I have 2 Diston saws and a set of sharpening files. They are not quite as bad but I now know how to restore and keep them right.
There are a ton of great instructional videos on YT that get into details of sharpening very well. Good luck and thank you for the comment. 🍻
Wouldn't have thought it was possible. Sharpening a saw is something I have never tried !
Hi. It is not really that difficult but it can be time consuming. In the video I only showed me sharpening one tooth but it felt like there were a thousand of them by the time I finished. I am certain that someone with more skill can do it better and faster but I am only learning so I took it slow. Thanks for the comment!
@@Restorology you were really lucky to have all the parts of the handle, excellent work!
@@georgedistel1203 Thanks. The handle was still in one piece when I found the saw at a junkyard. It broke apart when I first picked it up. It was incredibly fragile.
Excelente trabajo
