After researching the medallion on the handle I found out it’s a 1940s Disston D8 26" 10TPI crosscut saw

I tried to follow the process from this video https://youtu.be/cN8yMAXp54s for the most part. Haven’t done any sharpening on it yet. Still need the tools.

Rex’s videos are amazing for learning woodworking using hand tools, you might want to check Paul Sellers’ guide on sharpening too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fNosQU1Ujg

Looks good, how did you deal with the rust?

Nice work…I just finished restoring an old panel saw. Good elbow grease with steel wool and WD-40…
