  Thanks for showing us your method and sharing your knowledge. I would like to know what it is that you mean by numbering the auger drill bits No. 2 and thru No. 8? Was there a numbering system ? .... A nieghbor gave me a box filled to remove the rust....Is it important. Thank you again...Deeman OORAH!!

  Hi @gunnyoorah1846, the auger bits are numbered by 16ths of an inch, so a No. 8 would drill a hole 8/16ths or half an inch in diameter. A standard set has all the increments from No. 4 to No. 16. Bits larger than No. 16 exists but are much harder to find. Good luck!

  I was mightily relieved to see how you preserved the patina on the handle, using steel wool and not a belt sander!!! Kudos to you for for that. However I noticed you didn't restore the medallion? While I understand your concern for the piece, the best, and safest method is to use ammonia and 0000 grade still wool, not foregetting good vernitalion for the fumes. Gentle but firm rubbing will give you a magnificent finish that does not remove but polishes, thereby preserving any tiny marks that give the saw its character. The well-restored medallion puts the final touch to a remarkable antique saw that will delight everyone who sees it.

  Waaayyy too much work up front! Take a few paper towels soaked in vinegar and keep it wet for a few hours. Scrub with a vinegar-soaked ScotchBrite, rinse and 90% of that scraping is eliminated. Follow up with 120 grit sandpaper with oil and you’re done. Then the real work begins.

  I have a froe that is very similar to yours. The handle was also wedged like your original handle was. I too want to replace the handle with a friction fit version like you did. You've inspired me to get mine out and restore it. I wonder if they were made around the same time.

  May I ask why you didn’t just take it to the wire wheel first?

• 
  @thehandtoolworks4 ай бұрын

  Hi @jonesey1981, I use scraping and light sanding to remove the well adhered rust then finish with a soft wire wheel. This does a good job of removing surface rust and polishing the steel a bit while preserving the patina, which is the look I'm after.

  Excellent, informative video. I was given about 4-5 bits in bad shape. I hope to put them to use. Some appear to have no spurs. Most do not advance into the work and this probably means I have to address the snail. I had never heard of or seen a thread file. Very interesting.

  Sorry if I missed this, but why not fully seat the recessed area into the socket (visually, I mean. I know it is fully seated)?

• 
  @thehandtoolworks5 ай бұрын

  hi @paleblueafghan, leaving a gap prevents the shoulder of the handle from driving into the rim of the socket which could cause the wood to split; it also helps ensure that the handle can still be seated tightly in the socket if there's some shrinkage in the wood.

  hi @rp6879, I go by muscle memory but one could use a bevel gauge to check the angle. In general it's ok just to get the bevel angle in the right ballpark and usually you can follow the existing bevel.

  As someone who has been restoring antique tools, both hand and powered , I've neve seen or used motor oil to clean a blade before. It came out great. You could bring it back even more be using something like WD-40 which is not as heavy as motor oil. I think you may find any residue getting gummy after use in combination with sawdust and dirt. I would recommend not using find steel wool until after you sanded the grime off. If you use a fine grit it will take it right off. A heavier grit like 80 or 120 would remove the finish, which I do for a full restoration and after the wood is cleaned of dust, I would use as you did, Danish oil, or some other good penitrating oil. Hemp is very good as well. I would not put a shellac on, maybe wipe on poly, but honestly, the wood becomes very dry after 100 or more years and after the first application, I will go back a few more times, letting it dry in-between. Saws are one of my favorite tools to use and restore. I once came across a crudely painted saw at a tag sale. The had it hanging on the barn at one point. I looked very carefully and I had an idea that it was a mid 1800s saw and fairly rare. I bought for $8.00 and stripped the paint off. And sure enough it was an early limited produced Disston panel saw. It was worth a couple of hundred dollars 20 years ago, but I kept it instead. I use it occasionally, but it is hanging on the wall of my shop along with other tools I have collected. Even the rare handplanes I've restored, I use them all of the time. If I was going to sell them, I wouldn't use them. One of the rabbit planes I have that is made out of nickle, brass, and Indian Rosewood. It's a gorgeous looking plane, but it also cuts like a hot knife thru butter. A real pleasure to use. I look forward to your other videos! Thank you for posting this.

  @josephpadula2283 0 seconds ago Real Wrought iron like this is very rust resistant . What is called wrought iron today is just steel . I learned this seeing real wrought iron fences in Galveston Texas on 100 year on homes and mansions in great shape while modern “wrought iron “ ( steel with modern paint) was badly rusted! Galveston is a coastal city with salt spray And periodic hurricanes flooding the town with sea water, Yet the old fenced that had been submerged in salty seas were still good. Wrought iron is no longer made anywhere in the world and is only available as recovers from old buildings or equipment.
