Farmall Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Known as a Saw set. They came in various sizes for setting the teeth on a saw, from a 20-30 tooth per inch (TPI) dovetail saw, to the coarsest of crosscut saws (misery whips to those of us that used 'em) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Creek Blacksmith Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks guys! Instead of feeling smarter I feel dumb, I was a carpenter until I injuried my back and had to retire. Even though I shouldn't we always sent saws out to by sharpened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Properly tuned they can be a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
