Goodell-Pratt Miter Saw box and Disston Miter Saw: Refurb Blog #2: Miter box base after electrolysis. Not too shabby

Looking good. I’ve used mine and the angles are dead nutz but the saw is dull. Suppose I’ll have to bite the bullet and learn to sharpen.

I learned to sharpen 2 saws: rip & crosscut. I will do the same for this Disston. I believe around 8 points per inch x 30 inch crosscut… alot of teeth to sharpen :)

I bought a bandsaw from a guy selling off his dad’s tools and he had this pile of stuff that he didn’t want to sell, clamps, sandpaper, misc stuff, and this miter box. I offered him money and he said no, that he was happy to give it away. I was happy to take it. And he was probably right, it would have been more trouble to list and sell than it was worth (to most people). Hard to sell anything around here that doesn’t have a plug or Snap-On stamped on it.
