Greetings to the Gathered! I took a pile of carcass/tenon/dovetail saws down to Bad Axe today to see about getting them sharpened. I know they do A+ work but I can't afford them. Time is no issue. I've had these laying around for a long long time and I'm busily involved in the Swedish Death Ritual .... (off-loading everything I can't do without) ... Added to the pile are two saws that my son-in-law brought over this weekend. They are his Dad's saws and his dad has aggressive inoperable brain cancer ... sooo he wants to get these restored for his two sons; Grampa's saws. One is a super Disston No.12 with no damage at all to the handle and the other is an Atkins 11 tpi panel saw. So ... I'm restoring the handles and cleaning up the plates, but I would like to get them sharpened as well. All recommendations welcomed.

I'm not sure what you are really asking, here, but my advice is go for it yourself. If you are asking, I will guess you haven't sharpened in the past, but it is nothing but practice. Use a fifty cent yardsale junker for practice first. If you need to set the teeth, sawsets are roughly a dime a dozen in many regions (just picked up an unused 1950's-ish 42X, in box, for $1 at a yard sale to supplement the other two-- 3?-- I have. This is the most expensive one. These go for $10 or less on line and are a desirable user) if you don't have one. *** This message was sent from a convenience email service, and the reply address(es) may not match the originating address |
