    Valid question - I would say it depends on the wood. I don't see the starting teeth as a 'newbie' feature. Paul Sellers says he even grinds the first few teeth on his saw. I would say my...

    Just my take - as you said there is no Holy Grail. But, there are different methods that bring us all to very close to the same place - sharp enough. (Currently), I follow the Cosman approach to...

    I've owned and used both. The LN was my first saw purchase. I love the company and all of their tools. I loved their Dovetail saw. I then made the 'mistake' of trying the Cosman saw. My LN...

    Ah, you’re hooked now! DTs are addicting to say the least. That’s a great start. All good suggestion in the posts. Consistency is key to getting better. Pick a method and rehearse it over and over....

    Does anyone know if Dave is still involved? I have two orders in their queue - didn't know about the Woodpeckers involvement. I have a pairing chisel coming from them - hope it's the same quality.

    About to start a Dutch Tool Chest. Just getting back into woodworking after 7+ years off. Don't have a lot of hand tool storage space so the Dutch Tool Chest seems like the way to go.

    Thanks all for the kind words. My son had the patience to stand there and video my 5-hour effort. Of course about 1-hour of it was cleaning up the boards at the end.

    Jim, I guess it depends on how well you ripped it ;-) My first one didn't get too well. I lost about 3/32" of thickness trying to smooth the faces. I had a bow in the middle that I had to plane...

    I would like to meet the person (who posts on this site) who has had repeatable success using a file. I couldn't imagine. A chisel is significantly quicker and infinitely easier.

    Yep. I owned the LV gauge and sold it as soon as I bought my TM. I own a TM and a Cosman. Both are very nice and IMO much better than the LV.

    I have the BS fishtail and use it frequently. That being said if I had to do it again I would grind my own. The neck on my BS is thin so it flexes a little too much for my liking.
