I second Dave’s comment, much like planing out a hollow.
Mind you, you’ll probably could end up down to the very baseline of the gullet. So you might want to ‘copy’ the teeth first like Paul showed in his recutting teeth YouTube video. Otherwise you’d be in the dark of where you start filing.
On old neglected saws I like to joint and file the teeth in several passes, for me it’s easier not to move the teeth too much that way.
You’ll learn so many new skills! 🙂
