Can you tell anything about the saws for the saw nerds? In a previous life I followed saw auctions on eBay like some people follow sports. Good grief, I even wrote my son's history essay on Henry Disston. I've been clean for ten years.
well, there's only one in the photos - a rip saw, Disston - D23 - probably from the 1950s. Was my father's and I never remember seeing him use handsaws. He was all tablesaw when I knew what was going on. One of my most-used saws is a Disston, about 20" long - made for AJ Wilkinson's hardware store in Boston. 1860s/70s maybe? I use it everyday.
I love the mechanics and simple utility of this saw vise. What really got me going was the carving! Why, indeed, should one’s shop made devices go undecorated? I’m inspired!
