Hi,
Just getting started with handsaws. I currently have a disston rip handsaw, unknown coping saw, a superior crosscut handsaw and a newer stanley miter box type backsaw all of which were my grandpa's.
I am looking to get a dovetail saw, sash sized crosscut and rip tenon saw or dovetail saw and the Gramercy Sash saw kit. I don't have questions about the dovetail saw as have read plenty of threads about those.
Has anyone tried the Gramercy Sash Saw? I see it is filed for both rip and crosscut and am wondering if I would be better off getting it and a dovetail saw only. I couldn't find posts about the sash saw kit.
The LV carcass saw set is interesting but I am thinking I would prefer larger saws.
The saws would be for furniture.
Any advice or experience with the gramercy sash saw? Would a saw filed in this manner be hard for me to sharpen later compared to ones filed for crosscut or rip only?
Thanks, Noah
