This is the best coverage of "getting ready to sharpen" I've seen - 20 minutes of your 30 minute video before you actually start to sharpen. Don't get me wrong, the sharpening part is excellent, too. (Although I think you need a close-up lens to show the teeth clearly.) Good work, gentlemen.

Thank you for a timely saw sharpening video. Good information. I will say that the first time you sharpen a saw, the hardest part is overcoming the fear of messing the saw up. But once you get the feel for it it becomes an almost Zen experience.

6:17 I love the way you couldn't keep a straight face cracking that joke about your American saws cut finer than our English saws 'cos they have more PPI than TPI🤣... brilliant.

Good video and to the point. One polite remark though, at about 16:35 you are saying that the more you go to the toe of the saw, you would reduce the rake to ease the starting of the cut. I think you meant it correctly but using the term reducing the rake it will generate a more aggressive cut. Right? The opposite is true. Increasing the rake at the toe of the saw will indeed ease the starting of the cut. Best regards, Pantelis

Very nice! It had never occurred to me to approach the saw in any other way than just standing in front of the face vice, I’ll have to try that.

Im really enjoying this video series. Question: do you place the hammer of the saw set at the tip of the tooth or at the bottom (closest to the saw plate) of the tooth? Thank you
@mortisetenonmagazine

The hammer should be at the top of the tooth. You only really apply pressure to the top 2/3 of each tooth. My set naturally rests in that position, so I don't have to actively keep the hammer and anvil "aimed" properly.

Your video was helpful. However, in buying a saw set tool from eBay or other market, there is no mention of whether the tool is for larger teeth/lower TPI, or finer, smaller teeth. Any advice?
@mortisetenonmagazine

I would write to the seller and ask for more information/photos. Typically, these "plier style" sets are for smaller saws, since big crosscuts require more leverage to bend the teeth. Also, if the make/model of the set is included in the listing, you can look up that particular tool to see its intended use.

@@mortisetenonmagazine I’ll try researching the make and model, as most of those selling vintage American made tools have no knowledge of much of what they sell. And I don’t want the new ones made in China.

I have never found that necessary. The only time I would consider it is if I had to do more than just 2 or 3 passes per tooth. That could lead to a series of metal burrs on one side of the saw.
