Saw Sharpening, Again

Raymond Overman in SC

>Sorry to bother all you guys that like to work by candlelight and kerosene latern without that new fangled electricity, but my father and I got into a discussion over Christmas and I told him that I could probably find a solution right here. He has an old two man crosscut saw that was his grandfather's and was wondering how you would go about sharpening and setting the teeth.

Can anyone shed some of that firelight on this subject or point us in the right direction?

Thank you. I'll try to get him to take a picture of the thing and post it for anyone whose interested.

>Take a look at Vintage Saw's Library for a great primer on sharpening hand saws... My site has a couple things on it too.

>I hadn't seen that one before. I'm definitely adding that one to my bookmarks. Very well done. Thanks!

Also, if you can get a hold of one - Leonard Lee's book "A Complete Guide to Sharpening" has a short section on these types of saws...
