Incredible to watch you restore this saw without any power tools and just like my Grandfather did when I was a kid learning from him when watching the clock was not allowed. You are one of the last true craftsmen and it will be a sad day when there are no more. We have lost so much with all our High Tech but only us older generation will ever know. Thanks for all your work on this video as it was high quality also and appreciated very much.

Traditional hand tools coupled with proper skill. I could watch this stuff all day. Thanks for posting.

Great to see a craftsman at work. A true professional and traditionalist carpenter

I could hear the sharpness of your tools. Great video and editing. Excellent craftsmanship.

Watching these old tools come back to life just makes me feel good. Not sure how else to put it. Well done.

Magnifico!! Meu pai era carpinteiro. cresci vendo ele trabalhar usando ferramentas como essas, infelismente ele não está mais entre nós, parabéns pelo video! me emocionei vendo esse video!

old school is the new school. Love the hand drills. Takes me back. Keep them coming

And nary a power tool in sight! How _refreshing_ !

A nice job with a beautiful finish. I have my old tenon saw that I bought in England back in the late 40s when I left school, and haven't used for years. I've now got the urge to bring it up to scratch. Thanks for the video.

Wow! Awesome job!! I have never seen Silky Oak and I'm glad I did. Now when I order more stock I'll ask my distributor if he has some in stock. That is one of the nicer restorations I have seen. Thanks for an informative video!!

I absolutely love the fact its all by hand. Thats how I do most of my projects. Its amazing well done sir.

This is what I call real woodworking: hand tools, ability and crafts skill. Congrats and thanks for the lesson.

Another tool has its life saved. "....and they laughed at us. They said , Why do you need all these old hand tools?" then the power went out! Preserving the skills is just as important! Great video, any inspirational one, always is! Cheers

It's not every day that you see a true craftsman, beautiful work

Well Done. I had started restoring a Back Saw I got off eBay with bunch other tools, had disassembled, removed rust, sanded down the handle, and stopped there. Thanks for the inspiration to get mine finished.

Beautiful work mate, both the saw and the vid. Gotta love silky oak, and all done in a quiet shed with hand tools👍👍

Brilliant, what a job! That is real skill, doing it all by hand. There is real honour in seeing someone doing things without huge expensive power tools. I really enjoyed watching.

Wow absolutely brilliant, I am loving your work, I do a lot of this type of work my self, great job

Great job. Your hands are worth gold. What I loved is the fact that you know about tools, a used tool is never polished like a mirror, that all it does is spend material. Sorry for my bad English, gretting from Argentina

Old school craftsmanship, impressive and well done!

I am impressed on how good you are with all your hand tools. Excellent job. Very beautiful work.

A man that can use hand tools the definition of a craftsman...respect to you my friend your skills are a credit to you.

Hey Michael - wow - that handle is just beautiful! What a great video - thanks for making this - keep 'em coming!

Outstanding job very well done

love the old school approach..no electrical plugs were hurt in this video...fantastic job..

Great Job. Particularly interested in your doing the new handle & fitting it to the saw spine.

Looks Real Good, The why You used the other handle to restore the original shape of the broken one is a good Idea, I have restored my grandfather saw using vinegar to remove the rust. Nice Job, Thanks for Sharing

Great job. Well done. Post more such videos.

Great work. Awesome tools in your shed. Lovely video as well. Thanks!

Excellent work! Keep them coming.

Most DIY video will show how using modern expensive power tools only commercial professionals can afford. This is old school. Reminds me of my high school days in my country where they have carpentry subjects..

It got way cooler to me, once i realized you were doing the full restoration w/only human-powered hand tools - no motors running to cut, drill, or sand it with. What else I was actually looking forward to seeing, is how you finalized the rust removal on the blade. Awesome outcome, regardless. Mahalo for sharing this! Aloha...😉

Well done, so nice to see real world craftsmanship still surviving.

awesome job! I loved how you showed the entire process.

Superb video and end result. I have just bought a very old and neglected Spear and Jackson saw and have been working to bring it back to its former glory. Your video has helped me a lot! Thank you.

So good to see hand tools used to restore hand tools! :)

Refreshing way to do a nice restoration, thank you for sharing

2:23 I was expecting your fancy circular saw, but no you did the job like a real man. Respect.

I've used the coping saw sparingly.but your vid has spurred renewed interest. Good wrk my brother.

Fantastic !.What Class And Skill. Beautifully Done.

Beautiful restoration

Bom trabalho !!! Oque mais me surpreendeu foi que você fez tudo a mão usou arco de pua , e maquineta ferramentas muito antigas parabéns pelo resultado o cabo do serrote .

Thanks! I enjoyed and will try one myself someday.

A true piece of art, and so nice to see a video without all those power tools

Great work!

Really nice to see a functional restoration, rather than just a decorative one.

Wow! I love the by hand skills.

Nicely done, lovely job.

Always nice to see another Aussie woodworker on youtube ...Very impressed with the way you handle your hand tools .Great work !!! ...You have my subscription .Cheers

Muy hermosa restauración, con herramientas de antaño ,y sin utilizar las actuales que funcionan a electricidad. ¡Muchas felicidades!...

For a first restoration video, I thought you did well. Enjoyed it.

Than you for an inspiring 15 minutes.

Good job, Just like I was taught wood work in the 70's at school. The only power tool was a lathe. This isn't work it's therapy for modern living. And the finished article is work of beauty. So many forget what can be done without electricity. I'm excited to subscribe to see what you tackle next.

Absolute great work crafted by hand old school no power tools great job .

Ótimo trabalho de restauração, gostei muito do uso das ferramenta manuais, ganhou mais um inscrito!! Ótimo vídeo!!

all by hand....great skills and patience

Espectacular tú trabajo te felicito por demostrar el amor a la carpintería y enseñarnos a rescatar nuestras heramientas

Un trabajo artesano donde los haya...me quito el sombrero, Maestro !!!

Nice job guy! Almost none do this kind of hard work, which results in perfect results. I like it.

The handle is absolutely beautiful, fantastic job. Well done.

All manually. Respect.

Gorgeous piece of wood too.

The only thing I would change is I would customize the grip for my hand...I have very large hands. Good work, sir!

Great restoration and video, thanks for sharing.

I liked the way you worked, simple and no electric tools

you have skill.. I'm pretty much enjoyed your video using manual tools.. 👍👍👍

All hand tools, very nice! Respect!

Great video and a great job too. I remember using an old plane like that in school woodwork clases a few ahem, years ago! Lovely to see you just using traditional tools, the greenies'll love for it;~) PS. I found an old saw like that in a similar condition in my young cousins shed yesterday and it still cut like a knife through butter. It'd be interesting to see what it'd do after a decent sharpening.

Outstanding., well done....

Very cool. I wondered if you could bring something in that condition back from the dead. Timt to find an old saw!

Oh My Golly! Not a single power tool. Very cool! Very Impressive and Entertaining, too!

Beautiful piece of restoration, and all done by hand with relatively simple hand tools. A tenon saw which probably would have been thrown in a skip skilfully restored and which anyone would be proud to own, and that’s from an ex toolmaker. Well done that man!

Learned a lot thanks so much

Bravo! Excellent video!

No power tools were heard in the making of this video.. Awesome job my friend B-)

I liked every single bit of this video from the 'feel' of your shop to your workmanship. I was especially impressed with the thickness of the wood you managed with the coping saw. A great collection of working hand tools and I’ve just picked up a brace and three bits today. Your finished saw looked gorgeous and most of all it looked very effective. The video production was also excellent as was. I used to think people who complained about music in videos were a rather strange bunch. I think this video showed me what is so special about the sound of the tools, especially hand tools. I still think they are a bit strange, I’ve just accepted Im strange too. Subscribing wasn’t a hard decision.

Nice job looks great 👍👍

Great video. You made an excellent job of the handle. Subscribed.

Good Job ... looks Great ...thx for sharing

Great job. Looks fantastic!!

Nice to see someone using hand tools.

Excellent use of hand tools,a joy to watch.

Great craftmanship!

Oh my Goodness - I don't _believe_ this! I bought _just such a saw_ from a second hand shop three days ago and it looks _just_ like this! The handle is broken in _exactly_ the same place. It's a 10" 13tpi saw and I _so badly_ want to restore it and make it beautiful again. I paid 10 South African Rands for it...

Excelent job,,,,,, greating from Perú 🇵🇪👍 ...

Very nice job Roy Underhill would be proud

Wow mate that wood pops out beautifully and jou did great!

silky oak is amazing. cheers good video.

Felicitaciones amigo! Chulada de serrucho que te quedó. Saludos cordiales desde Reynosa Tamaulipas México

Good to see a refurbishment done with not an electrical machine in the workplace,a good vidio of a job well done,well worthy of my 5 ☆ rating

Beautiful job!

Looks great. I didn't have high hopes from the original state of the saw but you brought it back well. Only one simple suggestion is to flip the non-medallion nuts around so that all of the slots are on the right side of the handle. Simple fix for a great project.

Nice looking job, a lot of work,you must love it

Fabulous job!

Outstanding! 👍🏼

Turned out very nice indeed!

Really expressive work!

Felicitaciones, hermosa restauración y sin gastar un voltio.

Stunningly gorgeous!

I am completely impressed. It was a pleasure having you at home with me for the restoration. Wish I could''ve made ya a cuppa tea. Next time. Best wishes.
