    Mr Chickadee is both a real artist with the saw, and a very good teacher. Thanks.

    As a teenager, I had a saw sharpening business in NW Arkansas. I don't remember ever sharpening a crosscut saw but did lots of handsaws and circular saws on a Foley handsaw machine and a Belsaw circular saw grinder. Having used a crosscut since then, I can appreciate the skill level and knowledge required for a smooth, quick cutting saw.

    I enjoyed this very much. It has been 25+ years since I last stood in front of a saw vise, not to mention running a misery whip. It brought back a lot of memories. It seems I have forgot as much as I thought. FYI...Back in the day saw blanks were rolled out( as opposed to modern blanks being stamped out) so the spines could be a thinner gauge than the teeth and rakers. The thinner spines aided in less binding. A well oiled wooden scabbard to cover the teeth and rakers will help prevent damage (leave enough play so as not to remove the "set"), We always used old small fire hose slit open with several ties to cover the teeth and rakers. One last tip from an old wilderness tech, Always carry your tools on the down hill side of the trail. Happy chopping.

    Thank for the guidance. I just bought my first, and now have realized,(as with axes), there’s more to it than just having one. Mr. Chickadee you are a national treasure! Thanks for putting this together. Liked and subscribed.!

    Great video. The sawyers manual that was referred to was a godsend and enabled me to learn the process. Swayging the rakers was probably the scariest, but once you figure it out, there is a rythem to it. Since I learned, I have found several very in-depth videos that have confirmed my ability.

    AWESOME video! I have one of them setting tools, & an old crosscut saw. I had often wondered what that funny looking tool was that they threw in when I bought said saw was for! Now I know not only what it's for, but also how to use er.

    I found an old saw like this at a garage sale for 20 bucks. It didn't have a handle with it and I don't have the skill to make one, but you showed me how to get the rust off and sharpen it, so thanks for that, much appreciated.

    It was great to hear Mt chickadee talking! Great to hear that heavy pitting isn't a major problem as I picked one up that has pitting. Subscribed to you both!
