This is a short photo collection presenting some of the highlights of the "Hand Saw Sharpening" workshop at Brush Park Farm on Saturday 16th of May 2015.

The photos are courtesy of Rick Mitchell, while John Daniel did much of the work collating and captioning the photos.

 

 

 

The introductory presentation included a display of various types of saws to illustrate their specific uses which determine their design.
