I posted the following in another thread and will repeat it here.
"I love seeing these handsaws. I just got a few in my Great grandfathers tool box. Should we start a thread under Sharp Things?:hmmm:"
No pictures from me at the moment but if I don't start now.....
By posting I am now subscribed to this thread!:D
That depends on how sharp your saw is. Maybe your saw is a dull saw, then you need to start a thread under " Dull Knives & Saws". :beer2:Quote:

Just kiddin!
I have some saws and vices and some offset tools.
I need the knowledge and some files though.
Well, I have no knawlege,,,,
But I have files :shrug:
What do you need?
John can sharpen your saws on his hones!
Does it all the time with his razors......Same sort of edge?? :shrug:
Lots of information to be found on the net, including youtube videos. Library might have some older books... When it comes to hand tool wood working, my favorite book is "The Seven Essentials of Woodworking" by Anthony Guidice. No, it's not a huge book with minute details about everything, but rather "Just the facts, Ma'am".
If you want it right now, this page appears to have most, if not all the information you need to sharpen a handsaw: Welcome to Vintage Saw's Saw Filing Treatise

How about saw sets? Can we put them in here too? This is the only one I have and I'd love to see more to go along with these saws and saw vices. It's made by G.L. Holt, Hartford CT.

I think that any tool used to maintain or restore a handsaw would be welcome here.
I probably have 1/2 a dozen saw sets floating around. I have always thought they were cool and they are a dime a dozen.
Now I have to go find them and take a pic...
One of my two fathers (long story) was a crackerjack carpenter. Could cut a roof or build cabinets and everything in between. He liked Disston saws. I was on ebay not long ago thinking of getting a Disston to use for work I do around my church. There are saw guys just like there are razor guys and 'London spring steel' Disstons, old ones, modern ones. A real trip. I would have bought one or another but realized I had to do a bunch of research or I'd probably get the 'wrong' one. I worked at carpentry as a kid but went into ironwork cause I thought it was cooler to be on that high steel ....... at the time.
I wonder if they argue about to tape or not....:rofl2:
Nice saw vices.
Some guys like to take pictures. I am going to combine 3 threads so I only have to take one....
The only markings I can find on the two sets is Made in USA on the aluminium one.
That seems to be a popular brand and I will have to look it up! :D

No worries it will get plenty of use, and just like a razor when it start to get dull you just sharpen it, what a concept!Quote:

No but there is always the discussion about the saw nib, somewhat like the Barber's Notch.Quote:
