I used to take my dad’s saws to the Hardware Shop for the “Saw Doctor” to sharpen them. That was a 7-day turnaround.
The first company I worked for as a carpenter had a fellow come ‘round to the crews with paychecks on Friday afternoon. While he was there you put a saw that needed sharpening on the end of a broom handle he carried and he sharpened it. A half hour later you got back your sharp saw.
Nobody ever worked with a dull saw.
