What should I be looking for in a saw vice? Are there ones to avoid, or can I just pretty much start with any of them because it is technique that really matters?
Only seen one saw vice locally, and it is reasonable. But most of the old timers who used to do the sharpening for things like the neighborhood hardware stores (better then us with no skills in it, or trainers could do) are gone, or don't want to be bothered by people. They provided a service and their charges provided them with a tool/project fund.
On that note, what about neander books, specifically targeting some of these older skills (like handsaw sharpening)?
Being harassed to provide a Christmas list, and want things that are functional (not gag or junk gifts).
Thanks all
