Well I came across a couple of two person saws the other day - not huge - a bit over 4 foot and of course had to acquire one (would have had them both if i had more cash at the time!).
Now it does need a bit of attention - its rather rusty on the surface but all the teeth are present and doesnt have much wear on them, they still appear to be nicely aligned alternately outwards etc so im hopefull it might be resurrect-able. But to do so i might ask for a little advice;
Handles - the ones present are old and worn and come out of the conical fitting easily so im planning on replacing them. Is it worth including something below the eyelet so the hands go top and bottom of the metal fitting rather than the two above to eaven the pressure? Or just stick to the normal little pole types wich probably require relatively gently use to not snap em quite quickly?
how does one sharpen big teeth like this - i assume a file but what bevel should be used on the tooth? and do you sharpen both sides.
Many thanks in advance
