FILER GUIDE FOR HAND-SAWS

[Toolmaker51]

Sharpening a saw can be one of the most "difficult" tasks for a woodworker. I built this guide for sharpening hand-saw teeth at the required relief angles, for both rip saw and crosscut saw. Inspired in an old tool from 1987 hard to achieve (at least where I live) and using materials available to anyone, I show you the step by step to make it by yourself.

I've never seen one before. Haven't watched video yet but elements are absolutely clear. A big smile for the angular adjustments and means to retract without dragging file. I don't use many handsaws though own some, want to build this for pure recreational sharpening.
