Bandsaw sharpening
fellow oud makers,
this is probably the most eye opening thing I have seen.

I tried it with great results John.
I was just about ready to throw out my blade when I youtubed this and it saved me lots of money.
just as in the video my saw cuts way better than brand new. I am making an indian rosewood oud right now and I was able to cut through 4 inches of it
to make the neck blank with no problem.
Also, if you dont already have one of these, get one: its amazing

I like the method using a Dremel tool to grind both gullet and top of the tooth (in one movement) as there is less chance of grinding too much
material away as there might be using a bench grinder. The advantage is that the blade is sharpened in the bandsaw - no need to remove it - so a fast
method.
I haven't tried it yet but will give it a shot to assess the effectiveness of the method. Will be interesting to see how many repeat sharpenings I can
get out of a blade before all tooth 'set' is ground away.
The teeth are ground straight across i.e. like a rip saw - more efficient for resaw work than a cross cut ground blade - but still OK for cross
cutting. I sharpen all of my hand saws with rip tooth profile.
