Car boot sale tenon saw for €1

[carpenteire2009]

I went to possibly my last car boot sale for this year and picked up this nice 14" tenon saw for €1. The saw plate is a little rusty, but no heavy pitting, nice handle and solid brass screw fittings. Looks like a Spear & Jackson saw, judging by the handle which has the "unbreakable" feature- although the (plastic?) cap/ pellet is missing from the top of the handle. I made a test cut and despite the bluntness and rust it cut surprisingly well. I'm looking forward to cleaning this one up!

These Spear and Jackson saws sure are ugly but they make great users.

Worth spending a bit of time and effort on.
There a recent thread, regarding the refurbishment of a saw, well worth reading, and you have the perfect specimen to use!
