Old timer showed me a trick for saw sharpening at a swap meet

Guy named Earl at the Lancaster farmers market last Saturday walked me through fixing a dull bandsaw blade with a simple file. He said most folks overthink it, just match the tooth angle and take slow passes. Anyone else run into a random stranger who gave you advice that actually worked better than the books?

Buddy of mine ran into an old boy at a flea market who showed him how to sharpen a handsaw with a coffee can lid and some spit. He swore by it for years after that, worked better than any fancy tool he ever bought.

Just be careful with the file pressure. Too heavy and you'll mess up the set.
