The saw of shame!

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

He's in denial. Start him with a sharp saw. When he blunts it you must never ever sharpen it for him; if he thinks it's blunt then he must sharpen it; never learn else. He must be forbidden from using a saw sharpened by someone else. Tough love.

IMO if you can't sharpen a saw to the point where it's sharp you shouldn't be using it.

 

I thought that was the whole point of cs30 teach you which end is the front and how to maintain and sharpen the saw?

id say if were honest we all started out blunting saw way more than necessary and then doing a crappy job on the sharpening, then start to realize what an ass sharpening is and learn how best to avoid it.

Hi guys 'tis I Mountain Man.

Update on the lad, he doesn't blunt saws as much and is actually turning out to be a real asset.

That was my thoughts if the kid had anything about him he would want to know how to sharpen not avoid it.

Fair point... Mick/mountain man, I follow your posts and comments eagerly as I find you one of the funnier/wittier and more intelligent members, but this thread kind of has a "moot point" feeling to it. You're wasting time and money surely. A saw with a blunt blade is inefficient having detrimental effects on the saw as it has to work harder. Sharpening a saw is Tree surgery 101, surely?

Well it was just a light hearted vent really.
