This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEM curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the straw badge in Tool care.

Woodsmen back in the day could do an amazing amount of cutting with a cross cut saw.  They're relatively common in antique stores but they're always dull.  Since this is going to hang on your wall and also be useful, let's learn how to sharpen that old saw!

 
 

Here's a great video of what we're after:


Minimum requirements:
 - Sharpen a big old fashioned cross cut saw (1 or 2 person)
 - Make it visibly sharp

Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
 - Closeup of dull teeth
 - Closeup of dull raker
 - Action shot of sharpening
 - Closeup of a sharp tooth and raker
 
I found some pretty shells, some sea glass and this lovely tiny ad:
