Woodworking Hand saw
JCKelly:
An Englishman named Paul Sellers has a fine book and a series of blogs on the use of various handtools - planes, scrapers, &c. I'd say he's the early 20th century version of that early 19th century guy on PBS' Woodworker series.
If you inlet your sliding wood patchbox lid with a milling machine you will NOT find this of interest.
Here is how to sharpen a woodworking handsaw. As I have a couple of Grampa's that have become dull, it is of interest to me.

I've been following Paul Sellers for a good while. He has lots of stuff posted up on YouTube now as well. Great information there on sharpening chisels too.

Mr Sellers has a series of videos showing sharpening and selection of spokeshaves. These have opened up a whole new direction for me in shaping the whole front end on rifles/ fowlers. A sharp spokeshave removes thin ribbons of wood from the curliest of maple and splintery walnut leaving a smooth surface. It is faster and does less damage to the wood than rasps and files.

Me too as well. Paul has taught me lots.
I built the workbench as he did (older series)-the one he did out in the yard. Will use same techniques for any next one too. Simple, solid, low materials cost, yet not too difficult to disassemble for moving.

An old friend back home, (Joiner and cabinet maker) always maintained the best hand saw was a Henry Disston D8. Made in the USA. :-)
He was a joiner in the days when if you wanted sash windows, you ripped the wood down and planed it before you started.
Ken Roberts. a very fine man.
