Bugs did lately counsel thusly:

Learn to sharpen your old saw.

Indeed I have thought of this, and found the library
pages at http://www.vintagesaws.com

Although our acquaintance has been short, I have some
affection for this old (but not perhaps *old enough*
saw) But there's something of a regress involved,
one needs boards of a certain length for a saw vise
and this is the only saw I have and it doesn't cut well
enough yet.

Let's pretend I don't have anything. I wish to cut up
5 - 7 boards in the near future. Any suggestions.
