- One Man Crosscut Saw
There are many types of saws. One Man Crosscut Saws are unique in that they are designed to be an intermediate saw between wooden frame buck saws and two man crosscuts. Not to be confused with a carpenter’s crosscut saw the one man crosscut is bigger, thicker, has a different tooth design, and cuts on both the push and pull stroke.
You can find a great written explanation of sharpening both one and two man cross cut saws here.

This and the other three videos are worth their weight in gold! I have collected tools for years and now have the time to begin the laborious process of tuning them up to do some traditional woodworking. I happened across your sight by chance and have been enthralled with your knowledge. A BIG thank you for all that I have learned so far. Can't say it enough...............Ross

GREAT VIDEO SNEELOCK BEEN WAITING FOR A CROSSCUT SHARPENING VIDEO FOR A LONG TIME GOOD JOB
Thanks Bud. Glad you liked it.
It's not a tool I use a lot. When I had time I pulled out the saw and made the video.
In the middle of reconditioning an atkins 490 tuttle tooth that im gonna be using on some short thick as hell whiye and red oak. Gonna make some live edge tables, start my own woodshop and get out of my dead end job. Your videos have been extremeky helpful. Especially your video on the auxiliary handle. I have to makr mine from scatch and had no clue on what the hell to do with the square nut lol.
Make sure you sell a bunch of stuff before you give up your day job. 😊
I have owned and closed several businesses. Get a job you love and you will work yourself to death trying to keep the dream alive. Work at a job that pays the bills and go home at night without a care if the place is there in the morning.
my wife is the bread winner and my goal to match my current take home is rather small all things considered. Not looking to build an empire just looking to get out of a rat race making greedy douchbags rich running myself nowhere but into the ground. Life is too short.
If you feel that wood working is your future then by all means go for it. I only suggest that you assure yourself that it is successful before committing everything to the dream.
As a guy who walked away from a corporate job managing manufacturing companies, not just once but 3 times, I can understand where you are coming from. Where I made my mistake was in thinking that if I had a good product and presented it well I would be successful.
It wasn't until I retired and had a baseline income sufficient to free me from the day to day grind of making enough to pay the bills that I was able to build a satisfying business.
If you are in that position too then I wish you luck in your venture. It has worked well for me.
I surprised myself when I made the decision to retire. I was working way to much and after the second open heart surgery decided that it didn't matter what I was doing if it killed me it was the wrong thing. Once I knew I was leaving at 62, I became a lot less amiable about what I was expected to do at work. The decisions were less about what is going to keep me out of trouble and more about what is the right thing to do for myself and the people who work for me. It was liberating. I was able to enjoy work knowing that no matter what, I was leaving in 2 years, or a year, or before this project was completed.
The customer wasn't always right and getting done wasn't the goal. Doing what felt right and making sure that I said what I meant and delivered on those promises made the last year of employment my best. My customers were happier because I told them ways to make their product better and easier to make. The people who worked for me were told exactly what was needed and why it was important. They also were free to suggest better ways. I didn't have to be perfect or even in charge. Being responsible and communicative was more important than long term image issues.
Now I make videos and talk about what I'm doing while making them. It's a job I never would have thought of 15 years ago.
Old Sneelock's Workshop i make a little over a grand a month at my dead end day job. Luckily i am in a position that if i can sell a table or two a month i can match it. Been at my day job for seven yeats, about to turn 34 and since i found woodworking ive known this is what i want to do. Biggrst obstacle is finding to time to get this saw done while i still work lol. Working on thr aux handle while i wait for some files to come in the mail. Still have to get a set tool, spider and depth gauge.
Filing saws is so ear piercing over the audio. In real life it’s not so bad
Double Bit Craftsman It is one of those pitches that penetrates. Like fingernails on a black board.
That's very informative! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I just foud a small 36'' one man cross cut saw. There is a fair lawer of rust on it but no pits and the teeth are sturdy and tall. Where would you start your restoration? I thought of running a flat sharpening stone on it to even out the surface and then check the teeth. Any thoughts? Thanks !
Mathieu ChampRoux I usually start by using a razor blade and scraping away the rust on the left side center of the blade. If there is an etch I try and save it. if there isn't one, or it's too faint to read, I will use a block and sand the whole blade to 220 grit. Depending on the condition I might remove the handle (tote) before sanding. If the finish is good on the handle and the blade isn't to rusty, I might leave the handle on.
With the blade clean I joint it and file the teeth.
