Restoring Sandvik Tenon Saw

[Lynch]

Thanks for the feedback everyone 8).

I enjoy cleaning up old tools, my only problem now is the wall's starting to get full - in a bad kind of way:


It's probably messy compared to most workshops, so I need to build some sort of cabinet to store my growing collection of tools and stop them going rusty, but I'm not particularly good at designing things. I've seen some cabinets that members here have posted, and they're amazing, like this one:

Obviously, I will end up with something much less spectacular, but then woodwork is just a hobby for me.

Anyone have any ideas or tips for this sort of thing?

Thanks for your help - Matt

Slightly off topic, but related, I've been having a look at a dovetail saw recently with 20tpi (rip) but I'm puzzled as to how you would set the teeth at re-sharpening time...will any of the current crop of saw sets go down that small? - Rob

IIRC the smaller of the two Somax will. But I've never sharpened teeth smaller than 18 tpi, and I found even that very difficult. I wouldn't fancy 20 tpi teeth much. Further, the consensus amongst the current "gold standard" saw makers (Wenzloff, Adria, LN, LV, et all) seems to be that somewhere between 14-16 is the "best" for a dovetail saw (I'm too lazy to do a detauiled search on each brand right now)
