Sounds like fun, Saturdays are better for me but could rearrange things on sundays if thats easier for everyone else and there is some notice, let me know if there is anything I can arrange to bring to help.

OK, & we better stop hijacking this thread, which is about sharpening, not making!
PM me with details of what you want to make and we'll start working out what you each need on the day.
WRT handles, I advise sticking to fairly conventional patterns on your first saw or two (you can go wild later, when you know what you are doing). If you aren't sure what sort of handle you want, take a look at some examples on the Backsaw.net site gallery and on the Disstonian site or any others you can find. I can help you adapt any shape you like (within reason!) so it ends up the right size for your mit, and get the hang angle suited to what you intend using it for most...
Cheers,IW

Hijack the thread! What started, by me, as an innocent little comment ends up in making a saw. Hijack to your hearts content. Some good things come most unexpectedly. I once started talking to this girl (I was very young) and many children latter I am still talking to her.
It it has been a desire of mine for some 20 years or more to try this saw making. There are some things I must do before I get much older. Saw making is one, carving is another. Sharpening my own saws was another one. I bought some carving chisels at the wood show and Saturday morning I will begin that trip too.
It amazes me that anybody, in good health, ever gets bored.My age is still less than my number of posts
