Here are the saws hanging on my restoration rack, awaiting service. I'll post pics as I get them restored. Pricing provided if you'd like to purchase now, whereupon I'll make the restoration happen immediately.
Panel Saws:

New/Old Vintage Saws for Summer 2010: you seldom find handsaws at or near factory depth with the wood intact, but I got lucky when procuring these guys—practically all handsaws listed below have seen very, very few sharpenings in their respective lifetimes, save mine. Wood intact, metal straight, stiff and clean. These are about as good as vintage handsaws come by, and any saw you purchase from me will arrive on your doorstep with a polished and straight plate; correctly shaped, jointed, set and sharpened toothline; and wood cleaned & treated. The saw will be ready to work. So--that said, here are the saws:

So there's the lineup of my Summer 2010 saws. Again, don't hesitate to contact me if you don't find the kind of saw you want; chances are I have it, and just haven't restored it yet to make it ready for prime time. Cheers ~ Mark
A note on pricing: These are all quality saws I would happily use in my own shop. But Daddy has a Saw Problem—I can only keep so many before SWMBO lowers the boom (I'm sure you're there too, buddy). At any rate, I price saws to recoup my initial investment, and then get an appropriate return on investment for the 3-4 hours I spend restoring them. If you are interested in purchasing any of the above, please shoot me an email.
