Sharpening a Dovetail Saw

[@constructionlife5059]

Thank you and your guests for taking the time to let's us into your class! Great vidio!

another GREAT video Rob!!

[@davidgagnon2849]

Using the marker on the teeth is genius. I don't ever recall hearing that until now. Especially needed on fine teeth like a dovetail saw has. Thank you!

Think Tom LN showed me that. Wide tip marker works better though the process ruins the marker for anything else.

[@davidgagnon2849]

@@RobCosmanWoodworking Yes. Those markers go from "Fine" to WIDE in the blink of an eye, even on smooth surfaces. I wish someone would come up with a good marking pen that doesn't end up with 40 others that have all been set aside because they no longer make a line that is sharp.

Do saws generally come sharpened when purchased new or does one need to sharpen it just like a chisel or a plane?

[@RobCosmanWoodworking]

They should be sharp, and if they’re not I wouldn’t buy it. Sharpening a saw is something that used to be a profession. Sharpening your plane blades was something you would do on a regular basis.

Can we follow these instructions and put a progressive pitch on our saw? I have a couple of ancient saws I bought on eBay that sharpening isn't going to be enough and was thinking of jointing the blade down flat and then making a template of 14 TPI for the 1st inch on the toe and then 10 TPI for the rest of the saw. Will that work?
