    Filing handsaws

    I was asking if it was worth trying on impulse hardened saws, really. Seems not. Anyway if I need to take an apprenticeship to learn it, that horse has bolted
  3. Hope it goes up in flames along with the factory that made it, everyone with a brain has had enough of the batter shit. Very surptised people can not see through this crap.
  4. Interesting I thought.
  5. Gill Gerard, actor who was Buck Rogers in the 1970's and 80's. I think i watched it to see some bird in white spandex!
  6. Heck! Just woke up! Was awake earlier but went off again! She just got the tea in so best get it drunk and up! Speck, Tickles.
  7. Today
  8. Most often it is the set of the saw that's the problem - as above most blades now are hardened so won't sharpen. Might be just me and depending on the saw but when you can get 2 for under £20 at B&Q it is not really worth the time to sharpen them (woodworking saws), otherwise if the saw was more than say £30 would be worth the time.
  9. this - the Silky catalogue shows a symbol next to each saw for either impulse hardening or sharpenable compare Sugoi to Zubat
  10. 'Making the news today'. It was making the news, so was relevant to comment here. Why are you trying to distract from the story of a white man attacking his wife? Doesn't fit your racist agenda maybe that only coloured, immigrants or Muslim men can attack a woman perhaps?
  11. Handsaws buddy, but then you need to learn how to 'set' a saw also if your careful you might be able to touch up bandsaw blades
  12. You use a feather file to sharpen handsaws. if the saw blade is impulse hardened you can’t do it, as the teeth are tempered as part of the finishing process - check before you try otherwise you will kill your file with zero results
  13. Oh your right the Kress info is listed wrong on a re seller website its 400w not 800w.
  14. I never thought we would come to a time when someone would ask what a saw file was for, but I did do my apprenticeship in 1953.
  15. Used them a fair bit to sharpen tenon and hand saws. Still use it on the tenon saw but most handsaws I use are hardpoint now and no good for sharpening. If you’re going to sharpen a handsaw, it’s worth getting a tooth kerf setting tool too, as they tend to lose kerf width over time, leading to the blade binding.

  17. Not at all sure which one was more surprising, line two or line three 🤔 😅
  18. Morning all. Lovely morning here. Feeling a bit sluggish but a good night out was had. The new mog's back after getting some minor alterations to the chip bin so think I'll pop in at the yard for a look, otherwise a quiet day is the plan. Have a good one folks.
  19. There has been so much wrong with England that you have to wonder what's going on behind the scenes. Will we find out after the tour? Who knows but there has to be some explanation for such a dire performance; three matches done and Eng have one highlight to celebrate - Joe's ton.

  22. I've received a triangular shaped file, either as a freebie or by mistake. Has anyone ever used one? Is it worth it? Or shall I find another use for it? Thanks

  26. Morning all, Couple of quotes to go and look at then deliver some woodchip. It’s not raining. Have a good weekend.
  27. Watched a few bits and bobs of it this morning. There’s this one angle from behind JP where AJ lines him up before the right hand that finishes him, there’s a look of absolute glee on AJs face knowing he’s about to get a clean shot on his jaw. Lovely stuff.
