I think I found a place nearby, that sharpens these type of saws.....about $0.60 an inch. Works out to around $15 or so......have to save up a bit, as I have about 6 saws that need some work. Anything above 7 ppi, I can't do.....hard to see the teeth. My rip saws are fine......the rest....meh. I have a D-8, 8ppi that is still in good shape. Not sure about the other 2 D-8s....
Will get over there in a week or two, and report back what I find out....

In the mean time.....decided to give it a workout ( and me a Cardio..
.)
Just before I started to saw this 1/2" x 3-1/2" pine board...and
Just after the cut was finished ( camera set up time?
)
There is a place to store the box and saw. Seems I needed the bench top for other little chores..
Pine was rough sawn....no longer, thanks to a Millers Falls No. 11.....
I think I need a nap.....

Two saws have been dropped off at the sharpening service place....the 4 x 24, and one of the 5 x 28 No. 4 saws. I have another 5 x 28 as a spare. I guess I can "make do" until the two saws come back home? Somewhere in the $30 range, to have both saws sharpened up. Might have a few D-8 crosscut saws for him to do, later. three D-8s, a D-7, a No.7 and three D-23s.....might take a few trips...

Machine sharpened at that service, or by hand?

Not sure, what little I saw of the very SMALL shop, there wasn't any "Foley" machines. Will find out when I pick them up next week.

$30 for a miter box saw is a very good price... way too many teeth on those bad boys.
