Vintage tools: Disston saws

In order to satisfy my insatiable vintage tools addiction (this is the problem my wife has diagnosed), I just got two very nice Disston vintage saws. As I do not feel capable yet (not yet) to handle saw restoration with filling, setting and sharpening I got these two the lazy way, already restored and ready for use.







First one is a D8, 28", 5½ ppi for rip cut...





Second one is a D8, 26", 12 ppi for cross cut.











I love these etches and I feel very lucky to be able to hold these saw from the 1896-1917 era in my hand, I feel like holding a piece of history.


I cannot wait to put these beast to work!
