Most of the nuts came out with minimal force, but the last one just spins in place. I tried rubber gloves, painter’s tape, and duct tape to get a better grip. I’d rather not cut a slot in the domed nut if there’s another good strategy.
The rest of the restoration underway:
Yeah I’m probably going to stick to push saws. The way I’m looking at it, you know how some people like water stones, some oil stones, some diamond plates, some slow grinders for sharpening chisels? You’ll find fans of each saying they tried the others and didn’t get good results? Well I think they’re all right. They did get bad results from one type and good results out of the other. They’re all viable methods of sharpening tools, and it comes down to what works best for the craftsman in question.
Similarly, I don’t think pull saws are for me. I still haven’t tried a Dozuki, I’m willing to give that a try, but…especially when ripping, the ergonomics of a Ryoba are wrong. I can’t get an angle where my arms work and you’re not pulling against the grain.
Ah, that’s super fair. Great way to look at it. I can’t figure out how to look at my old comments so I have no idea what I said to you, but a vague memory.
Lord only knows what the other weird shit I do that works for me and wouldn’t for anyone else is.
I still make sure all my hacksaws cut on the pull, lol
I may have to give that a try, stringing a hacksaw backwards.
