Seems to be working.

It is cold here, perhaps the List needs some heat to get things going.

Has anyone seen any good examples of saw painting lately?

No, but I have a candidate for one.

The saw is stamped on the blade “MELVIN” and “Sheffield”. Well enough rusted
that there must be pitting undeneath; nicely shaped but very dry  handle w/
minor damage to one tip; originally riveted but now only one half of one rivet
remains. I don’t even remember brining it into the shop but some how I haven’t
been able to bring myself to throw it away or do anything else w/ it.

Anybody know anything about MELVIN? Anybody want to tackle it? Free for the
postage.
