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:

- Make it visibly sharp
Provide proof of the following as pictures or video (<2 min):
