The drawings in these old books are not helpful, Matt says. Once you see the teeth up close in a photo, it's much easier to file the teeth because you know what the goal is at every stage. So many of the photos in \"Set \u0026amp; File\" were made with super-macro lenses. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Ubuntu',sans-serif; color: black;\"\u003eWith the hundreds of step-by-step photos and clear, no b.s. instruction, the techniques are easy to see and simple to follow. And that's because Matt makes saw sharpening simple – not complex. There are no “secrets,” special potions or hard-to-find tools required. And the only \"specialty\" tools required are a good saw vise (Matt includes dimensions for one you can easily make yourself), a set of saw files, a saw set and a few shop-made guides from scrap wood. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px; margin: 0in 0in 12.0pt 0in;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Ubuntu',sans-serif; color: black;\"\u003eAfter you understand the basic saw-filing principles, you will know how to tackle all kinds of saws and all kinds of saw problems.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0in; background: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; word-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 11.5pt; font-family: 'Ubuntu',sans-serif; color: black;\"\u003eThe succinct and sometimes humorous book (88 pages packed with instruction) features a gray cloth cover over 98 pt. boards, #70-pound matte coated paper, and a sewn binding.
