This is awesome and an inspiration to those of us without much space inside our houses to work. Thanks for sharing! I assume it’s not climate controlled? Is rust an issue?

Thanks so much for your advice. I’m very new to this and have just purchased the two Spear and Jackson hand saws that Paull recommends in the Common Woodworking course (the 9500R 20 inch 10 ppi panel saw and the 9515K 24 inch 7 ppi rip saw). I’ve always had trouble sawing to the line and am looking forward to practicing (I’ve watched Paul’s videos multiple times). In your opinion, do the Spear and Jackson hand saws arrive sharp enough to use right away, or do they need to be sharpened and set before use? I’ve never sharpened a saw before. I’ve watched Paul’s videos but don’t want to make the saws unusable before I even get to use them!
3 April 2020 at 6:05 am #655571[quote quote=646676]Per Paul’s recommendation I have purchased some Spear & Jackson saws, both the 22″ skew back and 12″ tenon saw. After sharpening and relaxing the set of the teeth I have found both saws to be very good performers. I especially appreciate saving hundreds of dollars on my first hand saws. Many thanks go out to Paul for testing and recommending these practical yet well-performing tools.[/quote]
What size saw files did you use to sharpen the Spear and Jackson saws?
