You are like the Polish wood worker version of Torbjörn Åhman. Your work is so pleasing to watch, you make everything so crisp and well done.

Very well done. My 26" 10 ppi Disston cross cut saw is older, maybe35/50 years old. I bought it about 20 years ago, along with a 26" 8 ppi Spear & Jackson general purpose saw and an old 26" skew back saw that unfortunately the rust has, I believe, obliterated the name. It has the best feeling handle of the three, its chip carved vine appears to be excellently carved by hand and it also has the most well rounded, had fitting shape and not the quick once around with a shaper bit slab side shape of today's wooden handles. Unfortunately its missing all 4 saw-nuts and the medallion & nut as well and is held on to the saw plate with hand cut, hardwood pins. You have inspired me to see what I can do to bring them back to useful service. Oh, yes, I also have a 13 tpi 10" W. Tyzack Sons & Turner No. 14B back saw with a brass back awaiting restoration. (Hmm. Now where did I leave my 'roundtuit?)

Every time I watch your incredible workmanship I am inspired. Your skilled hands are those of a true craftsman.

Hello! I just discovered your channel. You did an outstanding job on bringing new life to that Disston saw. And, you did it all without power tools. Thank you for sharing and I look forward to viewing more of your videos. Greetings from Oregon! - Peter

Excellent restoration of the hand saw! Thank you

What a great idea - love your handle! Really enjoyed this video - great shots of all the steps in the process. Thanks for sharing this!

Well done, particularly the work on the handle… I also enjoyed the improvising of the tray to soak the blade.

Great end result. And now you made me want to buy a saw set. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful and very instructive! Very many thanks! And very best wishes!

This was a great restore! Thanks for documenting it.

I wish I could leave thumbs up several times. Every one of your productions is a masterpiece (video and tool included). Mesmerizing. Thanks !

Beautiful work. A vast improvement on the original, bravo!

Oooooh that drill press!!!😍😍😍😍 I think I'll dream it tonight! Great work. Cheers

Two thumbs up! I enjoyed watching a craftsman at work.

This man is absolutely amazing the top man in making tools in my mind, definitely my favorite to watch absolutely amazing.

Great Work Stavros all your video is very helpful👍👍 i love it good job

awesome! Love watching your videos

Awesome restore of the saw, look brand new again

Beautiful job Stavros! :)

Beautiful work. Makes me want to go make a saw handle right now!

Fantastic job. Much nicer looking saw, and cuts better too.

I got two of my dad's saws today and one is identical to yours.. i had something like this in mind for it. Your handle is absolutely exquisite :) Gets me excited to take on the project!

I like what you did there. Good job as always. Cheers from 🇦🇺😀

Wow... amazing work!

Super restoration mate, looks beautiful, 10/10 well done

FELICIDADES Muy buena restauración de la hoja y la fabricación del Mango . Saludos desde Barcelona Cataluña

Another beautiful job. The real Disston model was the Philadelphia. I had one, nearly a hundred years old- in England. Forged steel blade (unfortunately yours was not) and brass screws. The old boy called Leslie who taught me how to sharpen these beauties used very old methods. You are still young. I'll tell you. When filing down the old teeth, you create a curve on the edge; it's NOT a straight line. Then you DON'T file straight across! The triangular file is turned towards the left (five past seven position) and slanted downwards. When you start to saw, using a pendulum mouvement, the wedge-shaped teeth bite into the wood much easier, and also leave a cleaner surface. The old Master who taught the second "old boy"- Leslie (who taught me) was born in the nineteenth century!! That's what we call Tradition. However, you have a great love for hand tools, and the fact that you actually make them- and very beautifully so- puts you in a category apart. I take my hat off to you Sir. Excellent work. You are a member of the Elite.

Very nicely done Stavros! I was impressed that you clocked the screws. That is certainly a touch of true craftsmanship. I like the little trick with the stick on the end of the 3 corner file to help you keep it level. I'll have to remember that one. All the best!

Excellent work wooden handle is beautiful pleasure to watch

Fantastic stuff bravo .I can’t remember the last time I saw someone chain drill.

Looks Brand new ... and awesome ... as ever 😉

Szacunek za umiejętności, pracę i dzielenie się tym z nami :) rękodzieło dzięki Tobie nie umiera ;) jak zwykle piękna robota :)

Well done, it''s a great job

Good work Stavros. Intrigued by your handpowered drill press.

My friend you did an beautiful job on that handle. I have seen you commenting on so many videos that I have watched over the years and decided to check you out and I'm glad I did. Very pleased with what you accomplished with basic tools, power tools aren't necessary if you know what you're doing, they do speed things up a little though ;) you were clearly enjoying yourself and I enjoyed the angles. . I'll have to remember that visual guide on the end of the file to make sure you cut square. Good job again!

Very nice indeed. I get the feeling this wasn't your first saw refurbishing. Thumbs Up!

Well done mate!! Great job ;-)

Another beautiful job. 🇦🇺

Crafts Man. Good film editing/style.

You really are the best !

NICELY done 👍

I totally agree with the others. Fantastic work on the saw.

Dear Stavros, I picked up a boot load of second hand saws a couple of weeks ago, including Disston ones, for next to nothing. When I get some free time I will sharpen and set the teeth. In the meanwhile I am making a jig for holding a blade securely but at a convenient height for me. Pity that all the handles are in good condition otherwise I could test out a build of a new handle. Nice video by the way.

Witam i pozdrawiam!!Swietnie wykonana renowacja recznej pily do drewna,rzetelnosc i cierpliwosc przynosi dobry efekt,wyglada jak nowa i bedzie dale sluzyc w domowym warsztacie,tak trzymac!!

Разводка классная 👍👍👍🇹🇷

Pięknie, więc nie tylko strugi, a i imadło mówi, że to nie pierwsza piła. Uchwyt super, odnowione śruby też, brzesczot - uwagi już były, ale jeszcze bym papierem sciernym troche wygładził/polerował. Cięcie - trochę wyrwań od spodu, spróbuj zmniejszyć szrank (młoteczkiem;). Ogólnie super. Fajnie, że z tym plastikiem było ups;) Powodzonka w dalszych projektach.

Very good job.

nicejob mate that handel makes the saw.thats a skill i wish i had to be able to sharpen and set my own saws.It cut perfectly

Man I like your hand drill. Great job on the saw. Good looking handle you made. Liked the video so much I subscribed to your channel.

Super efekt , drugie życie dla starej piły. A wiertarka kozacka . Pozdrawiam

Que capricho parabéns 👏👏

LOVED this video...the first video I watched, the music almost made me panicky...lol I like to hear the sounds of work , tho tools against wood. PS...Beautiful job.

Чёрт возьми! Отличное видео! Масса идей. Nice video)

If a saw is significantly better than it was new is it a restoration or a rebuild? Whatever it is I know it ended up beautiful, an amazing job, very well done indeed. Another brilliant video, thank you.

When looking 100 years older is actually a *good* thing... 😃

Piękny, po prostu piękny!

Piekna robota. Doprawdy pila lepsza niz nowa.

O ja pier... 😍 blaszkę bym zakonserwował woskiem pszczelim na przykład, ale pięknie wyszło😉

Your work is some of the finest on the net I stopped by to speak about the uses of the word restoration. It is a word frequently used by old car and motorcycle and some tool people to describe their work and often incorrectly. Restore is to return to original or near original condition The word renovate, the correct word, for making something useable but Not in it's original state...a wood handle on a saw that originally had a handle of plastic, an electric fuel pump on an engine that had a vacuum fuel pump...English is a wonderful language and even more ...

Parabéns, ótimo trabalho. Ficou lindo! 👍

Excelente trabajo! LIKE

Nieładnie! Plastik do żółtego pojemnika

Piękna robota zwłaszcza uginanie zębów :)

Piękna robota. Ale powinno się postępować w poniższy sposób: 1. Rozwarcie zębów. 2. Wyrównanie zębów. 3. Ostrzenie od przodu piły. Zrób tak, a zobaczysz różnicę. Pozdrawiam. :)

I would love to see you make/restore a tenon/dovetail saw!

It is just insane how the handle just broke and fell apart like that out of nowhere.

je revois mon pere perçant avec son vilebrequin ,avoyant ses scies et affutant ses ciseaux . Bravo

your craftmanship are amazing.. trully have skill of woodworking I'm impressed about your drill press.. its rare items.. can't find it here. in fact, I want have one.. 😁

Great design! And the blade modification was a really nice touch. The handle connection looks a bit thin! Hopefully it doesn't break on you (with how I saw, I'd be worried about using it).

Bravo !

I loved the "accidental" breaking of the handle.

Disston miał fajne piły. Sam mam z 5, dwie już odnowione. W USA jest tego pełno i idzie za bezcen na Garage Sale ale z plastikową rączką jeszcze nie widziałem. Fajną masz wiertarkę!!!

100 × 100 GOOD.

I just bought the exact same saw I had no idea bent rusted up except that the handle in mine is in much better shape I straightened it and am trying to find a saw set on eBay and then I'm good

👍👍 No words necessary

Mateusz, kiedyś zastanawiał mnie fenomen pil Disston u stolarzy hobbystów. Szczególnie patrząc na czasami zawrotne ceny na ebayu. Do czasu, kiedy sam stalem się szczęśliwym nabywcem D8. To są na prawdę fenomenalne pily :-)

Oops it’s broken 😂 freakin brilliant

Super ogladac projekty ktore robisz, chocby ze wzgledu na uzywanie produktow dostepnych w Polsce :D

Piękna robota!

Rewelacja. Bardzo ładna rączka.

A rebuild, no doubt. The original handle could have been preserved.

WOW!

I bet he's good at slicing bread

Wedle kolejności filmów nie oglądam, ale za każdym razem łapię się na tym jak wielkie robię oczy widząc tą precyzję w rękach no i te narzędzia, wyposażenie... mam nadzieję, że i mi uda się taki zbiór stworzyć i przy jego pomocy tworzyć.

YO! How ya doing? I grew up in the Tacony section of Philly...3 blocks away from Disston street. Always find somebody with a Disston saw in the neighborhood. Have good day!

Очередная годнота.

Great work and the file guide had me rolling about how many people have spent a lot of cash on a manufactured item ?

Great video and great restoration. I like how you still saw value in the saw even though it wasn’t a 100 year old classic Disston but a modern saw. So many people would have just seen that as junk and thrown it away. What size (length) is the saw?

Excellent video-just like all your videos, Stavros! Btw, were you soaking the saw blade in soda? I have a few rusty saws I need to restore. Any tricks you can throw my way would be appreciated. Thanks again for the great video.

I love u saw

Polak potrafi!

Love the hand cranked drill press! Is it a shop-made tool or are companies still making those?? It looks new!

OH MY GOD, i'm laughing so much, did not expect you to break the handle like this! 🤣🤣😂

superb. did you hammer the set flat because you then don’t have to file alternate teeth in alternate directions? i like how you did that, it makes more sense.

first time i have seen your work. Wonderful! what came you tell me about the drill you use? thank you Robert Boulder Colorado pierwszy raz widziałem twoją pracę. Wspaniale! co mi powiedziałeś o wiertarce, której używasz? Dziękuję Ci Robert Boulder Colorado

I would like to know the name of this wood, beautiful work congratulations

Obrigado.Farei um cabo deste brevemente. Como gostaria de ter o dom da marcenaria. Chega de ficar em escritório.

Very nice work. What do you use to treat the saw to prevent rust? Beeswax? I’ve been taught to wax the entire piece of metal with wax before screwing on the wood handle. Should The medallion that bears the name Disston be preserved and reapplied to the new handle?

1:29 < is it a hand crank drill press? If so what kind and have you ever done a video on it before?

I don't know if it count as a "restoration" if you're replacing ALL the parts. Brother, that was closer to "Stavros makes a saw from fornerly-saw-shaped scrap"!
