Crosscut saw makeover - new handle for my largest handsaw

Making a new birch handle and touching up the teeth on my Sandvik crosscut handsaw. I'm no professional and I don't have anything to teach, this is just me, sharing my thoughts and my work. Join me as I'm learning fine woodworking!

I really enjoy how you make-do with what you have vs spending tons of money on boutique tools. So glad I found your channel.

Thank you! :D

[@Samcraftcom]

Awesome! What did you wipe down the blade with when done?

[@GillisBjork]

Thanks! Same stuff as the planes but I'll drop the info here as well: I use sewing machine oil for both lubrication and rust protection, just a very thin coat applied by Paul Sellers-style rag-in-a-can. I don't think there's anything special about sewing machine oil but it's colorless and thin and seems to work very well.

Wonderfull, congratulations! !

I have a handsaw like this, very rusty and I'm thinking of doing a Japanese handsaw with it ...

[@GillisBjork]

@@Tomlima23 That sounds ambitious! Would love to see it done

[@Tomlima23]

@@GillisBjork I have to try, legitimate Japanese handsaw here in Brazil is very expensive...
