>Anyone know of a site that details how to sharpen a logging type croscut saw? I picked up a disston pruning saw with the same style teeth, cutters and rakers, and would like to get it back in service. Thanks.

>Here is one site I found, http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/fspubs/02232324/ I used to have a very good site but I lost my favorites list. Another possibility is the High Desert Museum in Bend, Oregon. www.highdesertmuseum.org/ a few time a year the HDM runs their sawmill and when they do they have gentleman filing saws. He gave a couple of websites a couple years ago. An e-mail to the HDM might put you in touch with this person.

good luck
