My shelving work (a lot of things, really) is held up by not having a rip saw that works worth a damn. Now that the saws are tilled, it’s time to sharpen one.
Most of my saws still need restored in some way; totes or screws need replaced, some plates need aligning and sharpened, etc. And I’ve more crosscutters than rippers.
So I plucked a small ripper down to try first. It’s complete and the plate is perfectly straight. Just needs cleaned and filed.

Today I try filing the teeth (after cleaning this load of peaches).
Some may recall I was working on a file vise many months back. The new house interrupted that project, and I still don’t have a proper workbench to use it on; it requires a face vise to mount and hold. But that will be a reality eventually.
In the meantime, I need to fake something together using sticks and clamps, and see if any of the triangle files I have will work. 🤞
