Sheet saw

This sheet saw is a well-worn and tired tool designed for cutting sheet metal but also useful for acrylic and other sheet materials. I think the first thing I used it for was cutting the front off the old Mini van at the B pillar (the original willow green one, DMU 828A) so that I could use the back as a playhouse. That would have been about 1975 I guess, maybe earlier, and it was old then. The blade has been shortened by grinding, the tip wore out.

Obviously this is another of Dad's old tools, and one that has seen long service. I suspect it was bought to cut the mangled front off YMD 406H but I don't really know.
