How to Sharpen a Handsaw

Here's a YouTube upload from Paul Sellers who says how "sharpening a saw can be one of the most daunting sharpening tasks for a woodworker" but in this video he shows how you can do it in a simplified fashion.

Gerrymet Catch World Cup Fever

Yes we sell saw blades and woodwork tooling accessories, but we can't help celebrating England's start to the 2018 World Cup. We know we've so far played very average teams but why not enjoy this moment while we can! We've been impressed by ex-West Midlands footballing legend in Southgate who played just down the road from us at Villa Park. His decisions, composure, the team spirit he's inspired and even his waistcoats are all to be admired.

England's World Cup Woodwork Moments

Of course we'll be supporting England during the 2018 World Cup that kicks off this week in Russia. We're just wondering if we'll have a famous ball hitting the woodwork and crossing the goal line and is it allowed or disallowed. Think of Wembley 1966 when it went our way. But more recently, remember Lampard's beautiful woodwork hitting shot that crossed the line more so than in 1966 but was disallowed.
