As I have previously mentioned in this space, I am teaching saw sharpening at a Lie-Nielsen workshop in June. As part of my preparation for doing so, I have put together a few pages of notes on how I sharpen saws. While it’s not a comprehensive guide, I do think there is some good information in there, so am posting it here as a reference for those who are not able to attend. While I still harbor hopes of putting together a more complete and detailed tome on the topic when I have more free time, this must suffice for now.

Wow, this is really nice. The figures look great. I’ve just scanned through it and I have seen a lot of this information posted as various bits in places online but nice to see them all together. The figures are really clear and understood. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, happy to hear that it’s helpful. I’d love to flesh it out a bit in the future, but am hoping that this is at least enough to get people started on sharpening.
Good grief, Isaac! This is a fantastic compendium of absolutely essential hand saw sharpening information … and lucidly presented. Unfortunately, I am unable to attend what I am certain will be your excellent two day presentation at Lie-Nielsen Tool Works workshop in June. This personal interaction by you with your students will give those in attendance a wonderful hands-on opportunity to see a master at work and, just as importantly, a chance to develop their own style of handsaw sharpening.
Best of luck and again thanks for your time and effort.

Thanks, Kingsley!
