Restoring & Sharpening A Disston Crosscut Saw
Vložit

- I recently purchased another job lot of old tools near Ballylongford Co.Kerry.
This was one of two crosscuts in the pile. Given its relatively small size, which makes it easy to transport and more importantly operate alone, I think it will become the most used of my crosscut saws. - Jak na to + styl
Please do more project and restoration videos. This is very satisfying to watch
I’m a real big fan of how when you went to put that rivet or pin back in your first thought was “I have a screwdriver in my hand let me use that as a hammer” and then right before you hit it your next thought was “Wait a minute there’s a hammer right next to me”
I recently told a friend if he tired of his computer he could come over and pull a saw.( he gave me a blank stare). I relate to you Eoin, it's hard to find someone willing to exert themselves in this day and age.
This saw is not easy to find and they are very expensive. This is a true heirloom. You have great skills and taste !
Enjoying the channel. Might cut better if you joint the teeth to they are all the same height and then make sure they are all set the correct amount. This is what I've gleaned from reading and talking to people. Also coat the saw with candlewax will reduce friction and last too
Your videos are very peaceful. They’re good for relaxing after a day at work. Please keep it up.
I found a Disston hacksaw in my grandpas shed with a homemade hand carved handle. I’m thinking of restoring it.
Really glad to get longer videos of things you make and fix.
Love the use of the 'Ye Old Orbital' sander. You truly inspire with your use of traditional hand tools 😂
He uses Sanders in most of his videos whenever he has to do the job quicker..never in any one of his videos has he ever said that you should only use traditional hand tools for woodwork ..so what's your point . Which one of your self made laws is he breaking by using a sander that has got you whining and complaining you clown
Another great video. A proper sawing cradle would be a good project, leave the wobbly table to its purpose. Thank you sharing your wisdom and projects.
Love these really in depth videos on restoring old hand Keep it up Eoin
Wow, I've never seen a disston saw that old. Almost made me nostalgic to the point of buying one. But I bet that they are still the most expensive saws out there! Keep up with the great videos. 👍✌🖖
Nicely done sir. I like the way you keep the originality and character of the tools when you restore them.
Great job, Laddie! Have one myself,a leftover from the previous owner of my home.I was able to preserve a portion of the etching otherwise worn off by use. Cheers.
Hello im not sure if you will see this but do you think in the future you might make longer videos that cover the whole process i love listening to these but they end so fast
Even a livestream would be brilliant to watch/listen to whilst I am working.
Kelly Kettles are awesome
Just picked up a real clean Disston’ like that small one- blade on mine measures 43” - overall with handle 48”. The Etching is still intact on the blade. Surface patina/ little to no rust. Handle Medallion dates it to pre WW-1🇺🇸
Definitely gonna start watching these when I go to bed, I love watching your tiktoks before bed, I watch a ton.
I dont believe it. Lad is using an electric orbital sanding device :O.
Man Seeing this and seeing where you are now. You have GROWN my friend. Keep keeping you.
From Australia brother
It seems so calm and quiet where you live and work. I’m jealous.
I have watched all ur van conversion s so expect ing great results
I love your longer format videos
quite relaxing, love it
highly enjoyed watching this Eoin fair play that looks like a bomb cup of tea ✌️
I thoroughly approve of things that start with a cup of tea.
Check the rakers and the set of the teeth. Will help it to cut faster.
Great channel Eoin!! Keep up the excellent content.
I could watch these videos for hours
Such a relaxing start to a video, good on you mate :)
Really enjoy the videos , I collect old tools myself …. Belfast
Love the tea introduction
You had me at "W D Farty!"
That’s a great kettle
Dainty tea cup especially compared to how you made the tea & stirred it!
i really enjoy your content, keep it up :))
Great stuff.
I've been wanting to get one of those short cross-cut saws for awhile, but never run into one for a decent price. Lynx, out of Sheffield England, is the last maker of good blades in the West, as far as I can tell. New, the saws are excellent, if costly.
Love the shots of Lucy in your videos!!
The bottle with milk and the little *pop after you’re sat down PLEASE keep makin vids lad
Restored my first rip cut saw today thanks to your videos! Then I found some old hard maple logs and ripped some planks outta them! Took about 2 days of sawing to get a few planks but she works?
I have a saw virtually identical to that one, that type of blade is actually for green wood.
Another Great video. You did a great job on the saw. Just wondering if rubbing down the Handle with a little Old English would have saved the Patina..just my thoughts.
@EoinReardon well done...thanks for the idea of adding a 2nd handle...it's the first time I've seen that.
Great way to start any project...with a cup of tea! What was the wood you added to your water?
makes me want to run out and buy WD40 and Linseed oil!.... sponsor the lad! he's reviving history!
Great project. 👍 Saw may be sharp, but still needs tuned up. It should cut strips or ribbons of wood, not make sawdust. Id bet the teeth aren’t set and aren’t the right height. Need special tools to make that happen.
Very cool, im thinking of buying one of your tools off the store in ur bio but can you ship overseas like to singapore?
Was it the table or did you start to give it out😂amazing work
If you have the time, please tell me where I can find that little fire container you had for your teapot at the start, I've been looking for something like that. Love the videos btw, instant fan when you showed up on my feed!
Type 'Kelly Kettles' into your search. Originally used by fishermen to ease the long, cold days on the riverbank.
7:58 well it certainly throws dust now
might need it a little bit more sharp lol add oil or lubricate will cut easier
have you tried using linseed oil instead of WD40 for the derusting?
@4:21, did it utilize split screws and did you use a split screwdriver..??..........................................
No Pinic Tables Were Hurt In this Video ???
Next family get togeather could be a issue.
Thanks 😎
do you get Tetanus alot from working with all these rusty tools?
Nobody ever got tetanus from rust, it’s a robust bacteria that lives dormant a long time in soil but originates mostly from horse dung, needs a deep penetrating wound to get the right conditions to take hold - like a barbed wire stab or stepping on an old nail😮
Why do you use raw linseed oil, rather than boiled linseed oil?
Where do you find your tools
What type of tea do you drink?
There is definitely a bigger channel to be made here,if thats what you want I expect you want.keep doing what your doing.
Oi do you have a loisence for that saw?
I have the exact same saw, mine cuts 10x faster. What you didn't do was to "set the teeth". Your saw will cut like shit if you don't use a set tool to set every individual tooth. These saws cut like a dream. Dry or wet wood, its a machine
Hi, When setting the teeth of Great American saw like this, they must all be set in the same straight line or some have a curved?
@@DogFishAttack Some people curve the tip when using the saw set, which will work in some way, but it won't be effective. If you want to set it properly youll need to set each tooth, not only the tip. Meaning /\ the whole tooth should be slightly bent 0.05 ever so slightly wider than the saw blade body itself to perform that looseness, and clean cut.
@@DogFishAttack saw teeth are set oppositely from one another. One left one right, we call this the cross cut effect. Different than a rip saw, the cross cut works for cutting down trees and branches etc. Where the rip saw is more aggressive and tooth are straight lined back to back, we use this saw to cut wood vertically, like you would use an axe to split wood.
@@DogFishAttack If you ever find someone that takes part in these crosscut 2 man saw/ 1man saw competitions, they will tell you the same thing. And look at how fast those saws cut. Because in stead of using only a bent tip of the saw to cut with, they use the whole body of each tooth, that results in a more aggressive cut, taking out more wood with each pull. I have a 1947 Crosscut myself, and it still works like a charm. I sharpen it about 6 times a year. But once sharpened correctly, you won't sharpen it again for a long time. That high carbon steel they made in the olden days to manufacture these saws is something that does not exist today. They last forever
@@vanstaden Thanks for your answer!
8:19 need sawbucks
Do you use wd 40 as deodorant?
The saw on my Stanley blade would cut faster than that lol
He owns power tools?
This right here is my sexuality 😂😂😂
I love a man who appreciates WD40 it’s one of my favorite smells
Everytime he says WD 40 have a shot
My Irish accent gets better each shot I have
Those saw teeth need to be dressed and set, mighty job otherwise, 👍💪🔨🇮🇪
@ 4:21, you don't plane or flatten the teeth for alignment before you begin to sharpen..??..............
Mans making wood interesting and what was up with throwing wood into yuur boiling water?🤔
It's a double walled container with a chimney through it, don't really know what it's called but I searched "kelly kettle" and found it.
I was wondering the same thing that’s so interesting!
jus needs proper sharpening and tooth set.
Have you ever tried making a baseball bat?
So you really can use wd-40 for anything huh
schtey chewned
Love ur videos keep it up great work laded from south Carolina
Power tools? Really? Is that what this channels about
