These are replacement totes I made for a couple of old handsaws I inherited from my dad that were handed down to him by his dad. My dad passed away in 1989 and my grandfather died in 1954, a year before I was born, so these have been around for a while. The one on the left in the first picture is a replacement for an old Disston #12 rip saw that I did my best to duplicate from the original. The other is an old Disston #7 and I decided to do something a little different with it than the original. Both of these were broken, wired and taped up with a lot of black electrical tape and pretty much beyond repair when I got them, although I did hang onto all the pieces of the originals. The #12 was missing one of the fasteners and the #7 was missing the medalion so rather have holes with no fasteners I chose to leave those out.
