Thought I'd sent this already, but...no show in 2 hours.
Years ago, I did a revision on a dovetail saw, enough years that details are
gone. I know the teeth need to at least be flattened (set removed), and then be
refiled and reset in a rip configuration.
Has anyone done this recently, seen it done, know where there is any info?
Seems like I saw something on it maybe a year ago, but...not today.

Charlie,
It did show up and several have responded already. If you can't see them,
let me know and I'll copy the responses and forward them to your email
address.

Please. I've not seen a thing until now.
I wonder if I hit one of my own filters with the title?

Charlie,
Did it again - cannot get a normal email to you. Here's the error message I
get back from AOL. I deleted your emmail address to protect the guilty.

WTF? I just remembered that someone else couldn't get an e-mail through to me
earlier.
I guess it's time to scream at AOL.

As suggested:
1. From Phiserman:
This can be done, although not with pull-cut Japanese saws. There is
a tool that fits over the saw teeth to guide a file over the teeth. I
believe I've seen this described in a tool sharpening book by "Lee."
It takes patience, bright natural light, magnification and a keen eye.
2 From Tom Watson
This is one of those areas, "...where angels fear to tread."
The Galoots get into this pretty good, though. Here's a link to their
search page.
http://denali.frontier.iarc.uaf.edu:8080/~cswingle/archive/search.phtml
I usually refer to Leonard Lee's book on sharpening but even he
doesn't have much to say about this. I just satisfy myself with
following the old tooth configuration with a feather edge file.
Good luck.

Charlie:
It bothered me that I couldn't lay my hand on an article dealing with
this so I went on what I figured might turn out to be a snipe hunt.
Found a snipe, though.
Ian Kirby did a sidebar on sharpening backsaws (including dovetail
saws) in issue #39 of FWW, which was later compiled into the Taunton,
"Fine Woodworking On...", series book, "Hand Tools.
It looks pretty solid. If you don't have access to either of the
above sources, I can scan it and send you a .jpg.

Sounds interesting, and I would appreciate a copy of it also. I have two
older
saws that need to be touched up, and I always forget to ask my sharpening
person
if they can do them.

Charlie,
This is not an AOHell problem it's a documented feature. Mr Bob is a roadrunner user and
he has a standard residential, one user configuration.
This means that his IP address is dynamicly assigned. His configuration may also be set
to directly contact the target recipient's mail echange server instead of using the
roadrunner SMTP mail server as a relay mail host.
It his case, at least two of the AOHell's mail blocking criteria are met. (Snipped and
included below.)
Myx
a.. AOL's mail servers will not accept connections from systems that use dynamically
assigned IP addresses.
a.. AOL will not deliver e-mail that contains a numeric Universal Resource Locator
(URL). (Ex: http://0.0.0.0)
a.. AOL's mail servers may reject connections from IP addresses which have no
reverse-DNS (PTR record assigned).AOL's mail servers will not accept connections from
systems that are configured with residential IP addresses.

He's got an excellent video out as well.
Good Luck

P.S. He sends you your saws back sharpened with the prices taped on the blades
and then you send him a check for the work.

I'll get in touch with him. He probably knows a lot of stuff I'd like to know
anyway, and a man who trusts others enough to not even price work until after
it's done is unusual enough to be worth saying hello to.

Charlie,
Mario Rodriguez had an article in FWW a year or three ago about reworking a
dovetail saw. Pretty much just what you mentioned. File it to rip and reduce
the set.
I did one a number of years ago. I filed it to rip first. Then I ran a
sharpening stone down the sides of the teeth to reduce the set. One pass over
each side of the teeth, and then a test cut. IIRP, it took me about 4 passes
to get the kerf where I wanted it.

remove the key to email me.

Yeah, that's about what I did, under the tutelage of a Polish carpenter...guy
was about 70 in '57, though, so it's hard to ask him. He knew more stuff I
didn't hear of again for 20-30-40 years than I can believe, still.
I think the Rodriguez article is what I saw and what brought it to mind. I
should have that somewhere, but I'd bet it was 3 years ago and is in Bedford,V
A, not P'burg, WV.

Yeah, well. It's on the on-line Taunton stuff, so I jerned up and figured $3.50
would be fair, except the damned web site is not responding.
If at first you don't succeed, and all that. This time, I won't follow my old
man's advice: if at first, etc., give up and quit making a damned fool of
yourself. I think he was talking about wimmin, anyhow.
