Many thanks for all the suggestions and replies. I'm liking the idea of
using some for knife stock. Hadn't thought about making a plane iron, which
is interesting. The clock idea has some merit. I'm not much of an artist,
so painting scenes on them probably isn't my best option. I think I'm gonna
try and make a knife and see how that goes. I'll keep everyone updated.
Again, thanks for all the replies.

Part of the things I got after the death of my Dad a few years ago was a
cabinet with several (20-30) blades for a the old Delta TS he had. I don't
believe any of them are "name brand" blades. There are a variety of rip
and
crosscut blades, some in decent shape and sharp, and some are dull, and
slightly rusty. If I had to guess, most of the blades are at least 50
years
old. Is there any use for these other than selling for scrap metal prices
which seem to be up these days? I have his saw, a mid '50s Unisaw and I
have a few good modern blades for it. These old blades haven't seen the
light of day in many years and are just taking up space. Opinions?
Thanks in advance

You could get some clock works for them and make saw blade clocks for
whomever as gifts.
