I used your blog tips on Simple Green & the other bloggers WD40 tip and a very grungy Disston I cleaned up today came out real nice. I have 2 more Disstons but the hands are junk where can I get new or used replacement hands? Thanks! Jay Hi Matt: Did you get my pictures?

Will a good one imbed the toe into the plank below? (Maybe he thinks he's DaVinci.) Will all but the best crinkle up into a small accordion? Or maybe slice the plank cleanly in half? I know I am thick, but..... Just what is there about dropping a saw, toe first, 30 feet, that establishes the quality of the saw? Will a good one imbed the toe into the plank below?

I would agree it's way better then Grimshaw for information but it's surprising none of the books including this one offer a reference table with basic Rake/Fleam angles for the different types of saws. Most just offer pictures that aren't drawn accurately enough for a protractor. I'm guessing this is in part to keeping trade secrets in field that was competitive at the time of writing . . .

I've some of Mike Wenzloff's patterns from is web site but I would like some more choices. Also, I dont have access to old saws for parts does anyone make new saw nuts and medallions that are worth using? Thanks Nick Matt,
